While in high school, at age 17 Ken joined what was then called the Iowa State Guard. He joined the National Guard in Knoxville circa 1947 and participated in that until the Korean Conflict began in 1950 and he joined the United States Navy, serving until June 1954. While in the Navy, Ken met and married his wife, Donna (Anderson) Bassett in June, 1952 when he was on leave. After the Navy, Ken attended Iowa State University on the GI Bill and graduated in 1958.

| 1273 | Chadwick?s History of Shelby County, Indiana James H. Nail Shelby county boasts of no older and no more highly respected family than that of the Nails. They were the pioneer of pioneers, coming here when settlements were few and far between: neighbors several days? ride from each other, and the whole face of the country covered by the primeval forests. The first-comers and their descendants have always occupied honorable positions among their fellow citizens, helped materially in the agricultural development of the county, and were splendid types of the kind of men that it take to make a state out of raw materials. Though the family originated in Germany they have been identified with the United States from a period antedating the Declaration of Independence. Henry Nail, the emigrant founder, who was born in the German Fatherland in 1771, came three years later with his parents to Pennsylvania. In 1776 they migrated to Rowan county, North Carolina, where a settlement was made and a home established. In 1799 Henry was married to Mary Keller, a native of Pennsylvania, and in 1824 brought his family to Indiana, finding a location in Shelby county on land purchased from the government. With Henry Nail came his son, Samuel, who was fifteen years old when they reached this newest of the northwestern states. Samuel Nail, the most noted of the family connection, was born in Rowan county, North Carolina, September 1, 1809. He remained with his parents until he was twenty-two years old, and then took one of man?s most important steps in the world by marrying. The lady of his choice was Cherry Wray, a typical pioneer girl, who knew how to spin and weave, make clothes for the family out of home-produced material, and do the other useful things essential in a woman who was the be the wife of a first settler. She was born in Virginia, September 30, 1813, her parents being James and Tabitha (Bass) Wray, who came to Shelby county in 1822. James Wray, who was born in Virginia January 13, 1787, became a minister of the Gospel and was a member of these sturdy soldiers of the cross known as the pioneer preachers. Tabitha Bass, who shared his hardships as well as his triumphs in the trying times of the western settlement, was a native of North Carolina. Samuel Nail became one of the most successful farmers and most extensive land owners of the county. His holdings included four hundred and twenty acres in Brandywine township, sixty acres in Addison township, some property in Fairland, and eighty acres in Missouri. He and his wife were charter members of the old Protestant Methodist church in Brandywine township, and were regarded as pillars of the faith during their long and useful lives. For many years it was the custom of the children to hold family reunions to celebrate the union or natal days of their parents, and these were occasions long to be remembered as evidencing the sincere affection and high esteem in which this fine old couple were held. James H. Nail, perhaps the best known of the children, was born in Addison township, Shelby county, Indiana, December 25, 1844. He helped clear away some of the forest on this father?s land and knows at first hand what it meant to be the child of a pioneer farmer in Shelby county. When nineteen years old he enlisted in the famous Seventieth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Benjamin Harrison in the beginning, and with this command took part in the battles of Kenesaw Mountain, Pumpkin Vine Creek, Resaca, Peach Tree Creek and Atlanta, besides many hot skirmishes, like that at New Hope church. After his muster out in 1865 he returned to the old home farm in Addison township, and resumed the peaceful occupation of tilling the soil. He has been twice married, but had no children by the first union. December 30, 1883, he married Mary, daughter of Henry and Matilda (Muir) Howe, who was born and reared in Indianapolis. After his marriage Mr. Nail engaged in farming on his own account. He first bought a small place of thirty-three acres in Brandywine township, to which he has added from time to time until he owns now about one hundred and thirty acres of good farming land. In 1893 he purchased a house of South street, in Shelbyville, to which he removed for a residence, having retired from active farming pursuits. Later he acquired various pieces of property in Shelbyville, and has since devoted most of his attention to looking after the same. In 1907 he bought a house at No. 36 North Tompkins street, in which he is making his present home. Politically he has always been a Republican. When General Harrison was inaugurated President Mr. Nail has the honor of acting as escort to his olde commander of Civil war days. He is a member of Dumont Post, Grand Army of the Republic, at Shelbyville. He and his wife are members of the Presbyterian church, and always interested in its religious and missionary work. | Nail, James H. (I8712)

| 1283 | Charleston Gazette, West Virginia, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 Joyce Ann Lucas Bass Spring bestows many reasons of hope and eternal life. Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the ultimate sign of eternal hope and life. On this day, April 8, 2012, the Lord has once again risen and moved that Rock of Ages to the wayside to take one of his angels home. With the melodic songs and chirping of the springtime birds heralding the arrival of a "rare and virtuous woman," Joyce Ann Lucas Bass, 75, of Malden has ascended on a soft, warm spring breeze from her Earthly bounds to enter the Gates of Heaven. Joyce was born January 26, 1937, in Charleston. "Let her own works praise her in the gates." Joyce retired from the Kanawha County Assessor's Office in 1998 after 37 years of public service, and years of hard work for her church and her family. Joyce has already had a joyous celebration with her father, Paul Lucas, and mother, Kathleen ("Sissy"). Waiting at her prepared mansion were her brothers, Wyatt "Pude" Lucas and Charles Lucas. Oh how they are answering to their big sister once again, but loving every moment of it. We can picture her favorite cousin, Arleigh Ray Lucas, with his special laugh, just snickering his heart to content at Joyce straightening the boys out once again. As her family in Heaven is rejoicing, her family remaining on Earth is overwhelmed with a mixture of sorrow, yet happiness that Joyce has fulfilled her final goal of meeting her Lord and Saviour. As she always did, we know she will be busy working on the preparations for her surviving family to join her in Heaven shortly. Everything must be swept and cleaned by Joyce's expectations before it's ready for her "babies." Those she is planning to reunite with on the freshly swept golden streets include her loving husband of 57 years, Hubert "Hubie" Bass of Georges Creek. Joyce and Hubie spent many memorable times in their early years around local race tracks, while camping in Pocahontas County and, most recently, their winters in Eustis, Fla. Most of all, at their little church beside the road, Mary Virginia Gospel Tabernacle on Georges Creek, where she loved to play the piano and sing with the choir or the Messengers for Christ, which she traveled with for 13 years. Joyce is forever proud of her two children, Hubert "Rusty" Bass Jr. and his wife, Diana, of Kenna; and Kathy Holmes and her husband, Mark, of Malden. However, it was the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, "my babies," who were the true apples of Mamaw Joyce's eyes, as they affectionately called her. Kevin (Jennifer) Bass and his son, Isaac, of Campbells Creek; Melissa (Brian) Sigmon and her two daughters, Brianna and Sarah, of Georges Creek; Randy (Amanda) Campbell and his son, Lane; and Joyce's "grandson"/nephew, Adam (Joellen) and his sons, Wyatt and Walker, and daughter, AnnaLee, shall rest assured that Mamaw Joyce will be watching over them every day from Heaven. Joyce will also be keeping a keen eye on her siblings, too. Her brothers, William "Arbie" Lucas and his wife, Sue, and Eddie and his wife, Louise, all of Georges Creek; and her sister, Dreama Kay Jarrell of Valparaiso, Ind., will still be on Mamaw's watch. Joyce's sisters-in-law, Juanita of Mill Creek and Linda of Poca, need not worry, for Mamaw will be watching over them, too. Mamaw Joyce also entrusts many nieces and nephews and a whole host of friends to carry on her legacy with all of her family. The family would also like to especially thank Dr. Jack Kinder, Dr. Donald Lilly and his nurse, Sue Nolan, and the nurses of CAMC Memorial and CAMC General Emergency Department for their excellent care and exceptional support during our difficult times over the last few months. Special thanks to Donida of the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority for her words of encouragement, care and concern in our time of need. The service will be Wednesday, April 11, at 1 p.m. at Mary Virginia Gospel Tabernacle with longtime family friend, the Rev. Sam Bays, and grandson, Randy Campbell, officiating. Burial will be in Montgomery Memorial Park, London. The family will be blessed sharing Joyce's life with friends at Stevens and Grass Funeral Home, Malden from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 10, and one hour prior to the service at the church. "Remember, grandmothers and mothers never leave us, they only take to watching over us from a different vantage point."

| 1292 | Chattanooga Daily Times, Tennessee, Thursday, 2 January 1925 Carrol Bass Meets Death Beneath Car Pinned Under Machine in a Ditch Near Ringgold Victim is Believed to have Drowned Coroner of Catoosa Believes Young Man Had Released Sterring Wheel to Ligh Cigarette. Carrol Bass, 26, widely known young man about town, and son of former Sheriff Robert P. Bass, was drowned in a ditch on the Dixie highway, two and one-half miles east of Ringgold, Ga., early yesterday afternoon when the automobile he was driving left the road, overturned and pinned him beneath it. According to the opinions of the coroner of Catoosa county, who was called to the scene, and Lee Hancock, coroner of Hamilton county, who made the trip on Wann?s ambulance to return the body to Chattanooga, none of the several small bruises found on the body was sufficient to have caused death, and but for the fact that Bass was pinned face downward in the two inches of muddy water in the ditch he would not have suffered any great in jury as a result of the accident. Just how the accident occurred is a matter of speculation. Although members of the family of Sam E. Denman, in front of whose home the machine left the road, saw the car slide off the embankment and turn over, none of the witnesses was able to explain why the machine left the roadway. Bass was alone, driving south, and was traveling at a moderate rate of speed. He had just passed a heavier machine, necessarily pulling to one side to allow it to pass, but had not apparently lost control of his own machine, but was seemingly pulling back into the road when his car veered and following the side of the ditch for about ten feet, toppled over. From the fact that there was found near the overturned car an open package of cigarettes the Georgia coroner formed the theory that Bass had removed his hands from the steering wheel to take a smoke and that he died not notice that his car was leaving the road until too late. The machine turned completely over, the ditch being nearly twenty feet deep and very narrow at this point, throwing Bass out of the seat. He fell into the ditch and the running board of the machine crashed down across his shoulders and neck, pinning him securely with his face jammed deep into the muddy bottom of the trench, through which trickled a stream of water little more than two inches deep. Coroner Hancock last night expressed the belief that Bass was probably dazed by his fall from the car and that death came before he regained control of his faculties. The first breath, the coroner believes, filled the lungs with the muddy water, and Bass died without a struggle. Mr. Denman, who was at home at the time of the accident, made a vain attempt to extricate Bass from under the car, but was unable to do so alone. He called assistance, but was too late. It is Mr. Denman?s opinion that Bass was dead by the time he reached him. Bass is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. R.P. Bass, three brothers, Orville, Robert and Roy, all of this city, Mrs. J.W. Eckerly, Spartansburg, S.C., is his sister and another sister resides in Brooklyn, N.Y. Mrs. Eckerly is already in Chattanooga, having spent the holidays here. Funeral services will be held from Wann?s Friday morning at 10:30, the Rev. Battle McLester officiating. Interment will be in Forest Hills cemetery. Pallbearers will be Joe Pariiadiso, James Harrington, hays Clark, Luke Pogue, Herman Pursley and Mike Costello. | Bass, Carroll (I7060)

| 1296 | Chattanooga.gov Edward David Bass Lived March 28, 187 ? March 12, 1960 Elected mayor in 1927, Edward David Bass became only the second mayor to have been born in Chattanooga. Unlike the other, Hugh Whiteside, Bass?s family was not a family of great wealth. Orphaned at the age of eleven, Bass left school to begin work along the production line at the D.M. Stewart Manufacturing Plant. By 1900, Bass had saved enough money to follow in his father?s footsteps and open a grocery on the corner of Main Street and Central Avenue. In 1906, as a group of businessmen formed the Highland Park Business League and searched for a candidate to run for the Hamilton County Court; Bass agreed to be a candidate. Upon winning the seat, Bass sold his grocery store and dedicated his life to public service. In 1911, as Mayor T.C. Thompson led the campaign to change the city government to the commission format, Bass ran for the state senate. As a Senator, Bass helped pass the legislature that allowed Chattanooga to change its city government structure. After his senate term, Bass returned to Chattanooga and served as Commissioner of Streets and Sewers for three terms. During his service as a commissioner, Bass attended the University of Chattanooga?s Law School and passed the bar at the age of forty-six. Upon the resignation of Mayor Chambliss in 1923, Bass?s fellow Commissioners elected him mayor. However, state politics kept Bass from accepting the position. In 1923, as Governor Austin Peay prepared to appoint Mayor Chambliss to the Tennessee Supreme Court, he was pressured to not appoint Chambliss if it meant that Bass would become mayor in Chattanooga. Governor Peay then asked Bass to promise that, if elected, he would not serve. Bass did as the Governor asked. The motivation for this political action appears to have been pressure from the statewide Ku Klux Klan, who promised to have Chambliss? appointment blocked if Bass was to step up to the position of mayor in Chattanooga. During his last term as Commissioner of Streets and Sewers, Bass performed an act that may be the one he is most remembered for; he extended Broad Street past Ninth Street (today, Martin Luther King Boulevard.) At the time, Broad Street ended at Ninth Street where a row of brick buildings sat upon the southern side of Ninth Street across from Broad Street. The warehouses, owned by the state of Georgia, sat empty, and Bass worked for many years to negotiate the purchase of the buildings so that Broad Street could be opened to the south. Georgia officials continually refused to sell the buildings. On May 6, 1926, a Friday night, without consulting the Mayor, city attorney or other commissioners, Commissioner Bass led a large crew of street department workers in descending upon the buildings and tore them down. Beginning this mission around 6:00 pm, Bass drove the first car through the opened buildings around midnight. According to news accounts, word of the escapade spread quickly, and the streets filled with citizens cheering Bass and his workmen. The Elks Club Band, said to be practicing nearby, appeared and played the song ?Marching through Georgia.? By Monday morning, the length of Broad Street was extended. The state of Georgia sought immediate action against the city, but the Supreme Court ruled that a state?s sovereignty ended at the state line. The following Saturday, Commissioner Bass and his crew began the destruction of buildings that blocked Broad Street at Eleventh. At the end of his project, Commissioner Bass had successfully opened Broad Street south to link with Whiteside Street (which ran from Lookout Mountain to Twelfth Street.) Today, Whiteside Street is known as South Broad Street. In 1927, the city of Chattanooga elected Bass as mayor and re-elected him for the next five terms. Mayor Bass led the city through many events, including the nation?s Great Depression. Upon his retirement in 1947, Bass said he took great pride in the fact that, during the Depression, Chattanooga was one of the few cities able to meet its debts without issuing city script. At the time, Bass noted that not only did Chattanooga pay all its debt but continued to pay all of its city employees without raising the tax rate. In 1929, Mayor Bass oversaw the annexation of many of Chattanooga?s suburbs including St. Elmo, Missionary Ridge, Alton Park, North Chattanooga, Brainerd and Riverview. These annexations doubled the size of Chattanooga. In a press conference on June 17, 1946, Bass announced that he would not seek re-election the following year but would complete his term even though his doctors had asked him to resign from office due to health problems. On January 10, 1947, three months before his term ended, Bass?s health forced him to resign. Tennessee and Tennesseans Edward D. Bass Engaged in the insurance business in the city of his Chattanooga, the place of his nativity, Senator Bass is known as one of the leading and representative citizens of Hamilton county and is also serving as a member of the state senate from the 8th district. Edward David Bass was bor in Chattanooga on the 28th of March, 1876, and is a son of Captain James A. and Anne (Dill) Bass, the former of whom was born in Georgia, a representative of an old and honored family of that state, and the latter of whom was bor in Barbour county, Alabama, a daughter of Robert Dill. Captain James A. Bass was a valiant solider of the Confederacy in the Civil war, in which he served as captain of a cavalry company recruited in Barbour county, Alabama, and known as the Barbour Greys. He commanded his company in many important engagements and continued in active service until the close of the war. Soon afterward he came to Tennessee and established his home in Chattanooga, in which city he was a representative merchant for many years. He here continued his business activities until his death, in 1886, at the age of fity-three years. He was a man of sterling character and ever commanded unqualified popular confidence and esteem. He was a Democrat in his political proclivities and both he and his wife held membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mrs. Bass long survived her honored husband and was summoned to eternal rest in 1900, at the age of fity-six years. Four children survive her and all are residents of Chattanooga, the subject of this review having been the third in order of birth. To the public schools of his native state, Senator Bass is indebted for his earlier educational advantages, and later he was a student for two years in the National Normal University, at Lebanon, Ohio. After leaving this institution he served for five years as an assistant to the county engineer of Hamilton county and within this period he aided in much important civil engineering work in this native county. Thereafter he was identified with the mercantile business in Chattanooga for a period of about five years. In 1906 Senator Bass was elected to the bench of the county court of Hamilton county, and he thereupon disposed of his mercantile business and entered upon the discharge of his judicial duties. He gave a most able administration on the bench and his service in this judicial office covered a period of six years, his retirement from the bench having occurred in September, 1912. Senator Bas has been one of the most active and influential workers in the ranks of the Democratic party in his state and has been a promiment factor in its councils as well as in the maneuvering of its campaign forces. In 1910 he was elected to the state senate, as representative of the 8th senatorial district, comprising the county of Hamilton, and in the upper house of the legislature he has been a most zealous and valued worker in behalf of his constituency and the state at large. He was re-elected in 1912, and this was a fitting recognition of his exellenet service as well as a distinct evidence of his personal popularity in his district. In the first term in the senate he was a potent force in furthering a large amount of important legislation for the benefit of his home city and district, and it was mainly due to his able championshiop that the legislature enacted th bill which gave to Chattanooga its commission system of municipal governemtn, this city having been the first in Tennessee to adopt this form of government, and having also been one of thest in the entire Union. The senator has been selected by the state tax commission and did introduce in the legislature bills providing for the revision of the state tax laws. In 1908 Senator Bass had the active management of the campaign of Hon. M.R. Patterson, the Democratic candidate for governor of Tennessee, in Hamilton county. This proved one of the most spirited and bitter gubernatorial contests in the history of the state, and the effective work of Senator Bass was the most influential force in bringning about the election of Governer Patterson. He served as election commissioner of Hamilton county in 1907-8, was chairman of the Hamilton county road commission in 1911-12, and has served on various other important committees and commissions of localized functions. For several years past Senator Bass has given much attention to the real-estate business, in connection with which he has erected amny residences in Chattanooga and otherwise contributed to the material upbuilding of the city. He is interested principal in the South Chattanooga Land Company, the Bass Land Company and other local concerns of important order, and in the gernal real-estate business he is now associated with Sam. A. Conner, under the firm name of Bass & Conner, his partner having been sheriff of Hamilton county in 1910. He is an active and valued member of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce and is in full accord with the high civic ideals and effective work of this institution. He is also identified with the Commercial Club and is affiliated with the local organizations of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. On the 19th of April, 1895, was solemnized the marriage of Senator Bass to Miss Hassie Brooks, of Chattanooga, and they have two children, Denton and Edna. | Bass, Edward Denton (or David) (I49949)

| 1300 | Chicago Suburban Daily Herald, July 8, 2019 June McDonough Bessette 1927 ? 2019 June McDonough Bessette passed away on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2019. June was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, the fourth child of Mabel Purnhagen McDonough and Matthew McDonough. She was born on June 11th, 1927. Wayne Bessette, from Oak Park, Illinois, met June in Cincinnati, both having joined a local theatre group, the Bellarmine Players. They were married on June 11th, 1955. They continued to tread the boards in local theatre in the six different towns they called home. They were avid Bridge players, joining several card-playing-groups as well as playing an on-going game of 500 Rummy. Over the years June prevailed as the point-leader with winnings that never exceed $5.00. In their 64 years of marriage June and Wayne raised four children - Suzanne Bessette-Smith (David Smith), Elizabeth Bessette Kaiser (Kurt Kaiser), Michelle Bessette-Brooks (Stan Brooks) and Martin Bessette (Shay Riddle). They dearly love their seven grandchildren - Ari Smith, Zoe Smith (Logan Konkel), Quentin Brooks, Cecilia Brooks, Guy Giusto, James Giusto (Joe O'Connell) and Michael Giusto (Christina Giusto). Numerous birthdays and graduations were celebrated as well as three weddings and two great-grandchildren, Michael Junior and Rosie (Michael and Christina Giusto parents). June's first job was as a stock girl. She went on to work at WCKY Radio and Bell Telephone before becoming a full time Mom. June returned to work when the kids were older and retired from Northrop Grumman after 17 years. June was always an active member of her parish. For 50 years she served the parish of St. Marcelline, Schaumburg, Illinois, as a lector, CCD teacher, Parish Council member, stewardship witness and as a member of the Women's Club. June enjoyed traveling the globe. Via planes, trains, automobiles, cruise ships, cable cars, tuk-tuks, gondolas and a hot air balloon she visited 5 continents, 17 countries and 88% of the U.S. (44 states). In her travels she had tea with the rock group Alice in Chains (without any idea who they were), she sat on the other side of glass wall from a hungry African elephant, she biked the circumference of Mackinac Island and soared over the African bush in the basket of a balloon. June is preceded into heaven by her parents and siblings Elizabeth "Bette" McDonough Roether, Norma McDonough Collins, and Matthew McDonough; her nieces Julie Ann Roether Deuso, Cindy McDonough and great nieces Jeanne Deuso and Stephanie Deuso. June is survived by 14 nieces and nephews, many great-nieces and nephews and a generation of great-great-nieces and nephews. With a martini in hand, we toast a wonderful wife and mother who will be dearly missed.
