| 48039 | The Pulaski Citizen, Tennessee, 29 April 1925 James Autry Bass James A. Bass, seventeen year old son of W. T. Bass, who lives at the old Waters home place at Pleasant Hill, killed himself about 7:30 Monday morning. It may never be known whether the killing was accidental or with suicidal intent. James was a fine, manly fellow of good character and habits. He attended Sunday School Sunday morning and made a talk at the Epworth League meeting Sunday evening. Monday morning he rose as usual, milked the cows and returned to the house with the milk. Then taking a shot gun he walked away. His brother saw him leave the house with the gun, but thought nothing of it supposing he had seen a hawk or something. In a few minutes came the report of the gun, and whne members of the family saw James, almost the entire face was shot away. The charge had evidently entered under the chin and ranged upward, the head apparently being inclined up or back, so the charge came out at the forehead, tearing away mouth, nose and eyes. James lingered in agony about an hour and a half. He was apparently conscious. By his movements he showed that he understood when members of the family spoke to him. But he could not speak, nor could he see to write a word of explanation of the tragedy. After funeral services Tuesday by Rev. T. H. Porter, the body was laid away to await the final summons. | Bass, James Autry (I3815)
