During his tenure as dean, Dr. Bass guided the medical school through rapid expansions in number of students, faculty memebers, and facilities. Hutchinson Memorial Building, which houses many of the medical school?s current operations, was erected during this time. Following his retirement, Dr. Bass pursued the study of dental disease as a second career. He designed and promoted an effective method of personal oral hygiene used today by dentists throughout the world and which is considered one of his most important contributions to medical science. Through studying the micro-organisms that combine with saliva to form plaque and cause tooth decay. Dr. Bass concluded that removed of these micro-ogranisms daily would virtually eliminate any dentail disease. To thie end, he established the use of dental floss and the proper use of the toothbrush in what dentists came to call ?the dental floss era?. In citing Dr. Bass? contributions to the field of medicine, his former student, Dr. George E. Burch, emeritus professor of medicine at Tulane and former chairman of the department tof medicine, said that ?Dr. Bass was a man of absolute integrity whose judgements were always based on logic and whose academic attitudes and pursuit of knowledge were devoted to the welfare of Tulane and to tis School of Medicine. ?Dr Bass originated the idea of clinical laboratories in the United States, having served as author of a book on laboratory techniques. Also through his efforts, the Department of Medicine at the medical school became the first in the world to have a section devoted to dental health and hygiene,? said Dr. Burch. He further stated that Dr. Bass? professional attainments brought international recognition to him and to the university. Dr. Bass, a former president of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Society of Tropical Medicine, and the Southern Medical Association, was a fellow of the American College of Physicians.

Here he soon took the position of clinical instructgor on the staff of the late Prof. John. B Elliott Sr, rising rapidly in position at Tulane. In 1921 he was made professor of experimental medicine and director of the laboratoires of clinical medicine, which position he has held since. Private practice and especially private laboratory work in addition to his college teaching occupied Dr. Bass during his first years in New Orleans, but for the last five or six years he has devoted al lhis time to instruction and research. Several important discoveries which haver contgributed to the advancement of medical knowledge have resulted from Dr. Bass? extensive delving into scientific fields. His most outstanding single achievement has been the successful cultivation of the malaria plasmodium or germ. This was recognized and confirmed in every civilized country in the world. Tributes paid Dr. Bass in this connection inclduje gold medals from the American Medical Associatino, the Olreans Parish Medical Assocaition, and the Mississippi State Medical Association.

The American Medical Assocation is now in session oat Minneapolis. The medal which Dr. Bass received is one of the greatest honors which can be bestowed upon a member of the medical prefession. It is the first time that it has ever been awarded to an Orleanian, and consequently great credit redounds indrectoy to the Tulane school of tropical medicine. Dr. Bass? work, which earned him the medal, was the cultivation of the malaria parasite while on an expedition in Central and South America, in the interests of the school of tropical medicine. Following the announcement of his achievement, the work was regarded as invaluable contribution to the knowledge of malaria, but it was hardly anticipated that the American Medical Association would see fit to grace him with its medal. Dr. Reighton Wellman, dean of the school of tropical medicine, yesterday was the recipient of scores of congratulatory telegram sfrom all parts of the country for the signal honor paid his department through Dr. Bass? work.

| 3113 | Times-Standard, Eureka, California, Tuesday, May 22, 2007 Louise Annette Ivey Louise Annette Ivey In the small town of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, on August 14, 1937, Louise Annette Bessette was born as the youngest child to Winfrid Joseph Bessette and Antonia Blanche Beauregard in their family of 9 children. Louise was raised in a French speaking household, and attended an all girl's Catholic school where she learned to speak English. After graduating high school Louise worked for the new company of IBM. On November 1, 1958, Louise married Daniel Lee Ivey in a small ceremony in South Burlington, Vermont, on Ethan Allen Air Force Base. They spent the next 6 years in the Cape Cod area while Daniel was enlisted in the Air Force. During this time they had 6 children. In 1966 the family moved to California, ultimately Louise and her children moved to Eureka to be near her parents and 2 of her brothers. Louise spent the next several years working as a waitress with the majority of those at Sambo's Restaurant. In 1974 she relocated to the Southern Humboldt area. Louise ran the Road Runner café in Phillipsville until 1976. In the spring of 1976 Louise and her dear friend Donna Trout hiked 12 miles into the Trinity Alps to reach a gold claim in the Pony Creek area where they camped for 14 days. She often told this story and felt her journey up the mountain was a life changing experience and a true accomplishment of inner strength. From 1976 to 1983 Louise worked at various local businesses in the area until her good friend Wanda Chadbourne convinced her to become a school bus driver in 1984. Louise's career as a school bus driver for Southern Humboldt Unified Schools ended with her retirement in 2001. During the 17 years she spent driving buses along the scenic roads of Southern Humboldt, she developed lifelong friends in many of her co workers. The students whose lives she touched throughout her years as a school bus driver were cherished by her and the focal point of the stories and yarns she told until just a few short weeks ago. Louise loved to laugh, and loved to make those around her laugh too. She managed to do this by sharing her life experiences in a way that allowed you to laugh through your tears, or laugh until you cried. She was a brave lady and one who never looked at her accomplishments as anything more than just doing what needed to be done. She is survived by her six children: D'Ann Teasley of Weott and husband Greg, Donna Anderson of Myers Flat and husband Dave, Dan Ivey of San Luis Obispo, Denyse Bandettini of Reno, Nevada, and husband Neil, Dina Ivey of Garberville, David Ivey of Cloverdale and wife Pam; grandchildren, Erica Cherry of Fortuna, Leah Nunes of Lakeport and husband Derek, Shawn Cherry of Redway, Alyssa Ivey of Fortuna, Jenna and Kelsey Hartzell of Garberville, Kaitlyn and Kylee Teasley of Weott. Louise is also survived by her brother, Leo Bessette; sister, Rita Miller; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Roger, Larry, Norman, John; and sisters, Jet and Colombe. In the early morning hours on May 18, 2007, Louise Ivey peacefully and courageously left those she loved behind to step into the world of God and become reunited with her parents, brothers and sisters. During the last months of her life she talked often of her satisfaction with her life, and all that she had done. Louise died the way that she lived; surrounded by her children, with bravery, comfort, love and the peaceful knowledge that came from her conviction in having lived well and laughed long. A special Thanks to Susan Olsen of Miranda for without her help, love and support we could not have fulfilled Louise's wish to be taken home for her remaining time with us. The family is asking anyone wishing to make a contribution, to do so in Louise's name to Hospice of Humboldt. A celebration of Louise's life will be held at Gobles Fortuna Mortuary on Thursday May 24, 2007, at 1:00 pm. A viewing is scheduled for Wednesday May 23, 2007, from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.

| 3118 | Tom Bass: Legendary Horse Whisperer A great mystery of this world is why the name of Thom Bass is so little known today. His achievements in the realm of horse training and equestrian arts might be disbelieved in our car-crazy world, had not so many famous and respected individuals witnessed and testified to them as they occurred. Nevertheless, Tom Bass?s achievements are nothing short of legendary ? he truly was the horse whisperer of his day. He could take a violent angry horse sentenced to slaughter and train the animal to accept a saddle and rider without ever using a whip. More than any other man, he changed the way horses were treated all over the world. That alone would make him worthy of his legend, but with the same air of confidence and dignity with which he won so many hourse shows, Tom Bass greatly advanced the position of racial minorities in America after the Civil War. never violent or confrontational with either horses or men, Tom Bass was the first to cross numerous color barriers in America, which he accomplished merely by being himself. Tom Bass was born a slave near Columbia, Missouri, on January 5, 1859. His mother was the slave Cornelia Gray; his father, her master, was William Hayden Bass, son of the wealthy plantation owner Eli Bass. As was common in that time and place, Tom?s father never denied his slave son?s paternity, but neither did he grant him status above any other slave. While Cornelia was pregnant with Tom, William Hayden Bass married his fiancée, Irene Hickman. Cornelia then became Irene?s lady?s maid. Cornelia had no other children by William; Irene bore William one daughter and seven sons. As a young child, Tom remained a slave until he was freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. The Civil War upset the fortunes of a great many white men and owmen in Little Dixie, as that part of north central Missouri was known back then. Eli Bass saw his slaves freed against hi will, lost a considerable part of his wealth and died, some say, a broken man. By all accounts, William Hayden Bass managed his share of what was left of the family property well and moved into business ventures in the city of Columbia, where he continued to prosper. Once freed, Cornelia sought employment in Columbia, but Tom and his maternal grandparents who raised him continued to work after the Civil War on another Bass family estate. Tom?s maternal grandfather, Presley Gray, had been freed before the war, and appears to have enjoyed more than a little respect in the community. Tom often cited advice his grandfather gave him, when sharing his own modestly expressed sensible opinions on both horses and men. Find-a-Grave He was a professional horse trainer. He was born a slave in 1859 in Columbia, Missouri, but moved to Mexico, Missouri after the Civil War, where he found work as a stable boy. Bass eventually became a trainer and established a reputation for training even the most wild, violent horses. Credited as a founder of the American Royal Horse Show. For a half century, Bass trained thousands of horses to prance, bow, curtsy, dance, do the cakewalk and dozens of other tricks. He invented (but refused to patent) a special bit that is still in use today to ease the pain that horse endured during training. Bass performed before U.S. Presidents Coolidge, Cleveland, McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and Taft. He was also honored by Queen Marie of Rumania at the St. Louis Horse Show. During his career, he won competitions at every horse show in the country, earned more than 2,000 blue ribbons and won championships at two worldâ??s fairs. For many years, he was the only African-American to exhibit at the American Royal Horse Show, where audiences remembered him as the high-hatted rider of Belle Beach, his most famous mare. There is a museum for Tom Bass in Mexico, Missouri, not far from the cemetery. | Bass, Tom (I26)

| 3126 | Traditions Funeral and Cremation Services Guy Leonard Bass III May 2, 1949 ? November 7, 2022 Guy Leonard Berry, III, of Sapulpa, was born the second of four children to Guy L. Berry, Jr. and Barbara Bass Berry on May 2, 1949 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He died peacefully in his home on November 7th, 2022, at the age of 73. Guy?s foremost role was that of a dedicated father and husband. Professionally, he was a respected banker, a visionary leader in the economic development and transportation realms of Oklahoma, and a tireless community servant for Sapulpa and Creek County. Guy had a profound impact on the quality of life in Sapulpa and the greater Tulsa area. Locally, Guy was involved with two City annexations, a plethora of bond issues and beautification projects, economic development initiatives, and street improvements. He maintained a close relationship with the Sapulpa Chamber of Commerce and its directors, acting as its Board President in 1989, helping found and chair its Pride in Sapulpa Committee, and chairing its transportation committee. He was named Citizen of the Year in 1999. Guy helped spearhead the effort to raise over $2 million dollars to construct Sapulpa?s first public swimming pool in over 50 years, resulting in the Sapulpa Aquatic Center at Liberty Park. It didn?t sit well with him that local kids, many alone in the summer, didn?t have a place to go or anything healthy to do nearby. Guy was instrumental in facilitating the development of the Polson Industrial Park, a 150-acre hub of industry near the Town West area, that has helped rejuvenate the area. Guy developed a residential redevelopment program with the bank that partnered with property owners to demolish derelict homes and buildings. It?s estimated that over 250 deteriorated properties were eliminated through this program?a huge source of pride for him. Guy was passionately involved in the state?s transportation projects, and was appointed a Highway Commissioner for the Tulsa area by Governor Frank Keating. He served in this role for many years, completing a multitude of projects that will benefit Oklahomans for decades to come, including the Creek Turnpike, the reconstruction and widening of I-44, the Gilcrease Expressway expansion and bridge over the Arkansas River, the completion of 81st Street in Sapulpa from Highway 66 to Highway 97, and many, many others. He was later appointed to the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority by Governor Mary Fallin. Guy was honored to be a member of the Board of the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce, a rare affiliation for one residing in Creek County, and one that he treasured. Guy had a unique gift for galvanizing the people and resources needed to see a project through to its fruition. Put simply, he got stuff done, and almost always in a behind-the-scenes capacity. A deep sense of duty and fairness drove him, rather than a desire for accolades or recognition. He didn?t take his commitments lightly and didn?t shirk his duties. He was a present and vocal participant in anything in which he was involved. Guy traveled extensively, both globally and on U.S. soil, and lived in many places, but was most proud to call himself a Sapulpan. He knew he was blessed to call Oklahoma home and to live the life he did. Guy enjoyed an active and idyllic childhood with his brothers Bob and Bill and little sister Missy, their numerous Sewell, Jennings, Berry, and Bass cousins, and a cohort of close friends and neighbors. He attended Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana, following in his father?s footsteps. Upon graduating in 1967, he migrated back south to Norman, Oklahoma, to earn an Economics degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1971. During his time at OU, he was an active member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and the Army ROTC. He met friends with whom he would retain a friendship for the rest of his life among those at Culver and at the Beta house. Guy continued his Army involvement after college in Indianapolis, later moving to Washington D.C., where he worked for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. In 1972 he arrived in Dallas (coinciding with the arrival of the Washington Senators major league baseball team), where he spent 5 years as a bank examiner for the Federal Reserve. This experience both solidified his love of the Texas Rangers and his disdain of working for the government. In 1977, having made his way home and started a bank auditing firm, Guy met OU doctoral candidate Dianne Elizabeth Dennehy. The two wed in 1978 and had daughter Elizabeth Helene Berry in 1981. When Dianne died in a car accident in 1993, Guy unhesitatingly transitioned into the role of a dedicated, single dad. Guy began his tenure in the family business at American Heritage Bank (then American National Bank) in 1980, replacing his father as its President and becoming Vice-Chair of its Board when Guy, Jr. succumbed to cancer. Guy took the utmost pride in being a third-generation community banker. Under his and his brother Bill?s leadership the bank grew and thrived, surviving Oklahoma?s tumultuous oil and gas era of the 1980s and coming out the other side stronger than before. It remains a strong, respected institution, now the 12th largest and one of the oldest family-owned banks in Oklahoma. This is in part due to Guy?s industry experience, business acumen, adept judgment of character, keen analytical abilities, reputation, vision, and impeccable code of ethics. In the summer of 1999, on a flight from Chicago to Tulsa, Guy chose an empty seat next to Caroline Celen. Their mid-air conversation evolved into a courtship and they married in June of 2001. Their beloved son Henry was born in January of 2003, perpetually brightening the lives of his parents, sister, and grandparents. Guy was a lifelong member of the First Presbyterian Church where he served as a Trustee and an Elder. He had a deep faith in God and was compelled to act from a place of integrity. His family is exceptionally proud and grateful to have had him as their father and husband. We know that when he met his maker and was reunited with those who went before him, he was told ?job well done.? Now, may he rest. Guy was preceded in death by his father, Guy L. Berry, Jr., his mother, Barbara Bass Berry, and his wife, Dianne Dennehy Berry. Guy is survived by his beloved wife of 21 years, Caroline Celen Berry, son Henry Winston Celen Berry, daughter Elizabeth Berry Thompson (Michael), granddaughter Vivienne Dianne Etta Thompson, brother Robert Bass Berry, brother William Lloyd Berry, sister Melissa Berry Simmons, and many cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and colleagues across the country. He truly was ?unforgettable? and will be deeply missed by those he has left behind. A Celebration of Life service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church of Sapulpa at 3 p.m. on Friday, November 18th, 2022. Arrangements are under the direction of Traditions Funeral and Cremation Services, 35 S. Main, Kellyville, Oklahoma, 918-247-7373. | Berry, Guy Leonard III (I52)

| 3140 | Trumpet and Universalist Magazine, Boston, Massachusetts Saturday, January 7, 1832 Rev. Alfred V. Bassett We noticed in our last the very sudden death of Rev. Alfred V. Bassett, pastor of the Universalist Society in Dedham, Mass. The following account of his death is form the Dedham Advocate, and may be relied on as correct: - ?Dreadful Death ? A more melancholy instant of suicide probably never occurred in this region, than that which it is now our painful duty to record. The Rev. Alfred V. Bassett, Pastor of the Universalist Society in this town, committed suicide on Monday night last, by cutting his throat with a razor! The following particulars, as we learn from a friend of the deceased, are substantially correct. ? Mr. Bassett had been unwell several days with the prevailing influenza, and complained of a pain in his head, from which it is supposed that a fever on the brain produced that derangement of mind which caused him to commit the fatal deed. After retiring on Monday night, he arose and extinguished the light, which had been left burning in consequence of his illness. The individual who lodged with him soon fell asleep. About 11 o?clock, being aroused by the struggles and groans of the deceased, he hastened to alarm the family, and the poor man was found lying on the floor, struggling amid the agonies which thirty minutes after, terminated in death. It appeared that he had drawn the razor on both sides of the throat, cutting very deeply on the left side. Mr. Bassett was 25 years of age, a native of Atkinson, N.H., and had been settled in this town two years. He was a young man of respectable talents, and by his amiable manners and kind disposition, had won the esteem of many, who are now calling to unite with his relatives and friends in mourning his untimely exit. The following is a brief, though just description of the amiable character of the deceased. It is extracted from the Lowell Mercury: ?Mr. Bassett resided in the family of the editor of this paper over a year, and a more amiable and upright person he never saw. It is but justice to say, that there was not one bad trait in the character of this excellent young man. We do not believe that he had even a single enemy, in the whole circle of his acquaintance. Honest, honorable, unsuspecting and confiding in regard to others, he neither thought of deceiving nor of being deceived. He was the youngest of a large family of brothers and sisters; and from that circumstance, and possessing a slender constitution, and enjoying but a poor state of health, he was decidedly the favorite of the whole family. Having been tenderly and affectionately dealt with from his childhood, we often told him that he was not well prepared to encounter the hypocrisy and intrigue, he would be likely to meet with on every public road, and in every sequestered lane he might traverse after leaving the circle of those who loved him, and had no motives of interest or ambition to deceive. Still he could not be prevailed upon to view the world as it was. He viewed it as he wished it, and as it should be rather than as it is. His views of it were rather Utopian than real. We believe this last remark to be true in regard to every fair minded generous young man; but not to th4e same extent. He was so perfectly honest and sincere in all that he said and did, that he never uttered a syllable on any subject but with the most scrupulous regard to truth, not even in the most familiar social intercourse, by way of joke. In fact he never uttered a joke, on any occasion; and if he was innocently made the subject of one, he would either preserve a complete silence, or reason on its impropriety. He enjoyed the benefit of a good academic education and studious habits; but was kept from entering and pursuing his studies at college on account of the poorness of his health. About four years since he began to prepare for the ministry; and about eighteen months since he was ordained over the society with whom he commenced, and closed his pastoral duties. His religious opinions were the result of investigation. Charitable, just and friendly towards those who differed from him, he secured their friendship and good will. Is it not then a melancholy thought that one so amiable, so upright, so beloved by all who knew him, one of the few who had a large circle of friends, without an enemy, should die so young ? and by his own hand! Yet such is the fact. He committed suicide. Of the circumstances that led to this painful result we are yet apprised. From what we knew of him, however, we have little doubt that is was form some sudden and altogether unlooked for aberration of reason that left his mind a wreck, and led to the sad deed of self immolation. He had been very unwell for several weeks previous to his melancholy exit. Owing to the bad state of his health, a young man of his acquaintance slept with him, and kept a lamp burning that he might afford him and aid he might need. About 11 o?clock on Monday night, while the young man was asleep, he rose suddenly from his bed and committed the deed, that proved fatal in the course of the next hour. A doctor was called in, but alas, there was no help. From these circumstances it would appear to have been the impulse of the moment. He has left one to whom he would probably have been united in a few months as a bosom companion, and numerous other relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death. When we take into consideration the deep and imperishable love of life that exists in the bosom of every human being, and then reflect upon the extreme and hopeless agony necessary to overcome it, whether it be the result of religious despair, of disappointed affection, or the loss of friends, or a sudden change form affluence to extreme poverty, the humane emotions of pity and sorrow for the unfortunate, struggle for the ascendance in the bosoms of the kind and the good. How ardently do friends under the melancholy circumstances wish that the secret of the fatal intention had found its way to them in time to have afforded an opportunity to bind up the broken heart, and stay the hand of despair, by restoring in the afflicted bosom, the mild sway of reason and religion. We cannot refrain from closing this obituary notice with a few lines of that excellent poet and man, Thomas Campbell ? ?On the grave of a suicide,? and from ?The pleasures of Hope.? ?Ah once we know the social passions glowed In thy devoted bosom ? and the hand That smote its kindred heart, might yet be prone To deeds of mercy. Who may understand Thy many woes, poor suicide, unknown? He who thy being gave, shall judge of these alone.? ?Mild be the doom of Heaven ? as thou wast mild? For oh! thy heart in holy mould was cast. And all thy deeds were blameless but the last.? | Bassett, Alfred Vose (I02449)
