- Obituary of Elvira (Mobley) Bass
Mrs. Elvira Bass died at her home near Canton last Thursday about 6 a.m. She had been slightly ill about 3 o'clock the same morning but not regarded by her sons who were with her as in a dangerous condition. It was probably a paralytic stroke which carried her away so suddenly. The deceased was almost 67 years of age. Her husband died less than a year ago after quite a long illness. Seven children are left some of whom are residents of Box Butte County and some live in Montana and Iowa. Mrs. Bass was a truly good woman, a splendid mother, a noble Christian. Higher praise than this cannot be accorded anyone. To the children thus twice bereaved in less than a year, all extend heartfelt sympathy.
Mrs. Elvira Bass who had been ill only a week or so, died at her home east of Canton December 18, 1902. She was born March first 1836 near Moberly, Missouri, upwards of 66 years ago and has lived in this part of the county for several years. She leaves seven children to mourn her death, three sons and four daughters. The funeral services for her were held from the Congregational Church in Hemingford.
