| 2058 | Northampton Chronicle and Echo, Saturday, 11 October 1930 Death Of Mr. Thomas Bass Long Record Of Service To Education Committee We regret to announce the death, which occurred in the early hours of this morning of Mr. Thomas Bass, of 52, Kinglsey Park-terrace, Northampton, a respected member of the staff of the Northampton Borough Education Committee. Mr. Bass, who was 51 years of age, had not enjoyed very good health of late years, but his death, nevertheless, will come as a great shock to his many friends. While going to lunch a week last Friday, Mr. Bass collapsed near the Kingsley Park Hotel, and was taken to his home, a short distance away, and attended by Dr. A.A. Stewart. He made a rally during the week, but died in the early hours of this morning. A native of Northampton, Mr. Bass was a son of the late Mr. G. Bass, who for many years carried on business as a jeweller in Sheep-street. He was educated at the old British Schook, and on leaving school, in 1895, entered the School Board offices, and continued until 1897, when he transferred to the Magistrates? Clerk?s department, under the late Mr. J.B. Hensman, who was Magistrates Clerk and also clerk to the School Board. After holding an appointment under the County Council, Mr. Bass came back to the School Board offices in 1898, the year in which the late Mr. Stewart Beattie was appointed secretary to the Board. In 1902 the duties of the School Board were taken over by the Education Committee of the Town Council under the Education Act, and Mr. Bass continued to render good service, especially as clerk for primary education. Mr. Bass was a popular member of the Pomfret Lodge of Freemasons, and also a member of the chapter. He was a regular follower of the Northampton Rugby Football Club, rarely missing a match. Mr. Bass married a Northampton lady, Miss Nellie Foster, and much sympathy will be extended to hear and the only son, Mr. J.G. Bass, who has played back for the Saints, ?A? and the Crusader, and is a good batsman and bowler for the Northamptonians C.C. He is associated with Messrs. Howes, Percival and Bud, Northampton. It is a tragic coincidence that three weeks ago to-day, Mr. Bass was a bearer at the funeral of Mr. A.C. Boyde, Director of Education. The funeral will take place on Tuesday. | Bass, Thomas (I12)

| 2059 | Northampton Mercury, England, Saturday, 23 February 1878 Leighton Buzzard The oldest inhabitant, John Dollin Bassett, died on the 15th instant, at the age of ninety-two years. The deceased, the son of Peter and Ann Bassett, was born at Leighton Buzzard, on the 14th of April, 1786. He was educated at Hitchin, and succeeded to his father?s business, as a wool-stapler and draper, which he carried on for some years. Soon after the commencement of the present century, he founded the Leighton Bank, the firm being carried on under the name of Bassett, Grant, Sharples, and Exton. The deceased was associated with Clarkson and Wilberforce in the abolition of the slave trade; was a member of the Peace Society; and was much interested in the temperance movement, the Temperance Hall being built by him and the late Mrs. Grant. The British and Foreign Bible Society has lost in him a firm friend, as for many years he acted as treasurer of the local auxiliary. Several London hospital shared his bounty, and locally he was a staunch supporter of the Working Men?s Institute, and the charitable institutions of the town. Deceased was interred in the burial-ground of the Society of Friends, on Thursday. Cedars House, Church Square, Leighton Buzzard, Bedford (From the Leighton-Linsdale Past Times) Built in 1855 for John Dollin Bassett of Bassett's Bank, this house is situated at the end, and facing down the length of the High Street. The building is in the grounds of the original Leigh Manor House and a number of the buildings from the original Prebendal Manor House remain in the grounds e.g. the 'Temple'. In 1866, John Dollin Bassett moved to live with his son Francis Bassett at The Heath Plantation Road and the house was taken over by Mr. Theodore Harris (a partner of Mr. Bassett). The author Mary Norton (1903 - 1992) spent many years of her childhood living at Cedars House, and she based "Firbank Hall" in her famous book "The Borrowers" on Cedars House. Subsequently, the building was used as a cottage, hospital, and then finally it was purchased by the Education Committee and in March 1921 the Cedars Secondary School held its first entrance exam and opened later that year. Further change occurred with the introduction of Comprehensive Secondary Education and the adoption of a Lower, Middle and Upper School system in the County. Cedars was to become an Upper School and as a result it was decided that a new purpose built site would be required and in 1973 the School moved to its present location in Mentmore Road, Linslade. At the same time the old school became Leighton Middle School, which it still is today. | Bassett, John Dollin (I8)

He learned to hunt and fish in the backwoods of Booneville. He loved working on cars and motorcycles. He was proud to be the first graduating class of ?Area 11? now DMACC in the Tool and Die Program. After graduation, Gene joined the National Guard and graduated with honors at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. Gene was gifted in math and his mechanical mind allowed him to make all sorts of tools and bolts to fix and fabricate pieces for guns, knives, bicycles and basically anything. He loved bicycles and built each of his children?s first bikes and in later years, recumbent bikes. He enjoyed many different trips riding on trails all over the USA. Gene worked as a maintenance machinist at Meredith Printing then bought by RR Donnelly for 15 years. He later worked for the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union. Gene enjoyed his retirement by working on bikes at Kyle?s Bikes and the Bike Barn in Ogden. Gene had friends all over the state of Iowa and didn?t know a stranger. In 2010, he moved to Ogden, Iowa and shortly after suffered a stroke. He found a community who looked out for him and friends who cared, many of whom attend Ogden Baptist Church. His children and grandchildren are Gene?s proudest accomplishment. He adored them. He enjoyed going to their events and spending as much time with them as possible.

| 2100 | Owens Livingston Mortuary Willard Ray Bass December 4, 1944 ? February 25, 2021 Willard is survived by his three children, Kelly, Cindy and Kevin and their families. He was ?PAPS? to many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Willard?s wife, Sherri Bass, preceded him in death on November 6, 2020 after a valiant battle with cancer. Willard was born in Modoc County, California, where he learned to work hard at an early age. That work ethic landed him, Sherri, and the 2 girls in Arizona in 1967 by way of Loveness Logging, and he lived here in the Pinetop-Lakeside area ever since. Kevin later joined the family in 1973. No question that Willard?s favorite work was logging and being in the woods, whether it was loading logs or hauling logs. He took great pride in his Mack and Kenworth trucks he owned. He could fix anything and was often sought out for his skills as a mechanic. If Willard said he was going to do it, you could consider it done and done right. Growing up, Willard was very athletic and especially loved playing baseball and basketball (and was good at them too!). The love of sports was prevalent in his life and he knew his sports history well. If you stopped by to see him, he would have been watching some type of sporting event. He especially loved Nascar, Baseball, Football, Golf, and College Basketball. He loved the Boston Celtics when Larry Bird played. Willard also had a love of old cars from the time he was young, and as one of the old ?Canby? friends told me ? he inspired his son to get into old cars. Willard also enjoyed hunting, but his greatest disappointment was never being drawn for an antelope tag. There are no immediate services being held for Willard. The family would like to plan a Celebration of Life sometime in the future. If you would like any information you may contact Cindy by email at [email protected] or by cell at 928-358-3873. The family thanks everyone for their support and prayers during this time. | Bass, Willard Ray (I58)
