      Eli Bass
      The subject of this sketch was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and died in Boone County, Missouri, 1865, in the fifty-ninth year of his age. His father, Peter Bass, was a native of Mainland, but for a number of years had lived at Nashville, when he moved with his family to Boone County, Missouri, in 1819, when Eli was quite a boy. He was a man of great energy and decision of character and amassed a very large fortune and at his death left his children large patrimonies. Eli's elder brother, John M., was a lawyer of distinction in St. Louis, a compeer of Bates, Gamble, Geyer and Lucas, and afterwards was, for twenty-five years, president of the Union Bank of Tennessee.
