  Notes	Serious Accident to an Old Citizen Mr. G.M.T. Bass, one of our best known and most respected citizens, was very seriously, and it is thought, fatally, injured this morning by falling from the high bridge of the Richmond and Petersburg Electric Railway over the river. Mr. Bass conducted a small dairy business in Chesterfield county, supplying customer in this city with milk. The recent flood cut off his communication with his farm by the usualy routes, and he has since been crossing on the electric bridge. This morning while crossing from the Chesterfield side with his milk cans in his hands, and electric car came along, and he stepped aside at one of the water tubs to get out of the way. It is said that the car brushed against his milk cans, causing him to lose his balance and fall over the side of the bridge. He fell upon the ground, a distance of between thirty and forty feet. The car was immediaetley stopped and passengers and employes immediately went to his assistance, and brought him to Petersburg, whence he was taken to the hospital. Mr. Bas was conscious, through suffering greatly from shock. He was attended gy Dr. J.G. Rennie, who administered to the relief of the shock. A cursory examination developed the fact of very serous injuries ? an ugly wound in the head, with fracture of the base of the skull, a fractured right shoulder and broken ribs and probably internal injuries. Mr. Bass is upwards of eighty years old and rather heavily built. He is very favorably known in the community. The accident happened near where the late Smauel Y. Gilliam, of Dinwiddie county, fell from the same bridge and received fatal injuries several months ago. Mr Bass?s phyusician thinks his injuries fatal. 1850 Federal Census of Petersburg, Virginia (17 Sep 1850) Benjamin Green 35 M Virginia Grocer George Bass 23 M Virginia Schoolmaster 1880 Federal Census of Petersburg, Dinwiddie County, Virginia (1 Jun 1880) G.M.T.
