Bass - Downs Wedding Held
Clinton, June 22 - Salemburg Baptist Church was the scene of a pretty June wedding Friday afternoon when Miss Sara Catherine Downs, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Posey E. Downs of Pineland College became the bride of the Reverend Burnice G. Bass, of Clinton. The church was decorated with white candles and tall baskets of gladioli and Queen Anne’s lace, looped with white ribbon, which also marked the seats reserved near the altar.
Before the ceremony Mrs. D.M. Royal at the organ, played McDowell’s “To a Wild Rose,†and the “Andante†movement from Beethovens Fifth Symphony, and Edward Chou, of Chungking, Szechwan province, China, and Bowman Gray school of medicine sang “Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms†and “If God Left Only Youâ€. As the bridal party entered, Mrs. Royal played Victor Herbert’s “Oh, Sweet Mystery of Lifeâ€, and the “Bridal Chorus†from Lohengrin. During the ceremony she sofly played “Liebestraum†and for the recessional, Mendelssohn’s “Wedding Marchâ€.
The bride was given in marriage by her mother. The ceremony was read by the bride’s father, a Baptist minister; and the bride’s sister, Eloise, also a graduate of Pineland College, was maid-of-honor. A younger sister, Miriam and Mrs. Crotia Bass Warren, Pineland College, were her bridesmaids. Crafton Bass, brother of the bridegroom was best man, and the Reverend Douglas Aldrich, Raleigh, and Cartell Jackson, Roseboro, were ushers.
The bridesmaids wore pink and blue organdy. The bride was dressed in white slipper satin with long fitted bodice, full flowing skirt, three-quarter sleeves, net fingertip veil held by a halo of gardenia buds. She wore a necklace of pearls and carried a bouquet of white roses showered with stephanotis. For her going-away, the bride wore a gown of light-blue summer material with navy accessories, while her corsage was fashioned from the roses in the heart of her bouquet.
Mrs. Bass, a honor student at Pineland College, later attended Meredith College where she made an excellent record. After taking post graduate courses at Wake Forest, she joined the faculty of Lexington high school where she taught English and Bible for two years. The bridegroom is the son of Lonnie D. Bass. He is a recent graduate of Wake Forest College where he was pledged to Delta Kappa Alpha ministerial students’ honorary fraternity. He is pastor of churches in Sampson and Vance counties.
In September the couple will enter the Southern Baptist Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, for further study. Following a brief honeymoon they will be at home for the summer in Townesville.
Following the wedding a reception was held in the parlors of Pineland College for the bridal party and a large number of guests. In the morning, the couple were guests at a wedding breakfast at the apartment of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Marshburn on the college campus.

Orville Wendell Bass
July 12, 1934 ? April 10, 2023

Orville Wendell Bass, age 88 of Wanette, crossed the Jordan River on Monday, April 10, 2023. He was born July 12, 1934 in Piedmont, OK to Oania Lloyd Bass and Retta Mae (Lairson) Bass. Orville answered the call to service and joined the United States Marine Corp, and proudly served his country during the Korean War. By chance, he met a young lady named Roberta Nadine Ross. He was home on leave, and she was working at Veazy?s drug store when they were introduced by his sister, and the rest as they say is history. Orville and Nadine were married on January 14, 1956 in Okla. City. At this time, Orville worked as a Policeman for the City of Oklahoma City. By 1966, they purchased a farm near Wanette. Together they raised two children, son Cliff and daughter Kay. Orville drove a truck for many years. He retired from Texas Oklahoma Express (TOX) after more than 27 years of dedicated service. Orville?s heart was always on the farm, and loved tractor time, building fence, and believed any day on the farm was a good day. He enjoyed working with wood, and even took some carpentry classes to hone his skills. He was an avid gun collector and enjoyed shooting targets and clay pigeons. He purchased some reloading equipment and began loading shells. Orville?s greatest legacy was his faith, and he served the Lord wholeheartedly as a member of the First Baptist Church in Wanette where he served as Deacon, and in many other capacities. He was a wonderful father and grandfather and a true friend. He will be dearly missed!

He was preceded in death by: his wife, Nadine Bass; his parents, Oania and Retta Mae Bass; siblings Cecil Bass, Lola Mae Dodgen, Frances Clinedinst, Anna Kessler, Oania Bass Jr, Lloyd Bass, Elvin Bass and Velma Schroder.

Orville is survived by: son, Cliff Bass and wife Gina of Wanette; daughter Kay Hamilton and husband David of Norman; Grandchildren, Ryan Hamilton and wife Ashley, Jeffrey Hamilton and wife Christine, Cody Bass, Laura Reed and husband Chris and Caleb Bass and wife Paige; Great grandchildren, Alexis, Charlotte Lee, Rowan, Caroline, Knox, Kate, Lucy, Dottie, Callum, Marigold, Margo and Arlo and a host of other family and friends.
Funeral Services are scheduled for 10:00 A.M. Friday, April 14, 2023, at Wanette First Baptist Church. Burial will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery in Oklahoma City.

It was a true sanctuary where she felt close to God and family. She had a love for baseball and was a passionate fan of the Chicago Cubs. She cherished every moment cheering on her team and sharing that bond with her dad, brother, and daughter. One of her greatest joys and fulfillments was simply pouring out her love on children of all ages. Her compassionate heart for kids knew no bounds and her joy around children was contagious. She had a special way of connecting with them, bringing smiles and warmth to their hearts. Her nurturing spirit touched the lives of countless children. While all of these things brought her joy, nothing compared to the love and devotion she had for her daughter, Leah.
Joslyn's memory will be cherished by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched with her unwavering love and warmth. Though she may no longer be with us in body, her spirit will shine bright through the lives she touched.

Betty Jean Bassett, age 93, of Knoxville, Iowa, passed away Thursday, September 24, 2020 at West Ridge Specialty Care in Knoxville, Iowa.

Betty was born on October 31, 1926 to John and Florence (Wohlwend) Hoover in Elkhart, Polk County, Iowa. She attended country school in Bremer County until her 10th year when she was called to work on the farm after her two older brothers left for the service during WWII. She also cared for her invalid mother and through letter writing for her, to the son of family friends, she met her future husband, who was serving in the Navy. Betty and John C. Bassett were united in marriage on August 31, 1944 in Waterloo, Iowa and were blessed with seven children. They enjoyed 46 years of marriage before John passed away July 9, 1991.

Betty was a great homemaker and worked hard raising seven kids while John was an over the road truck driver on long delivery trips. She was an excellent cook and baker. It was many a day we would come home from school and smell the wonderful meal she prepared for the evening, beginning with homemade bread. She also made sure we all graduated. Her greatest joy was always her family and she loved the big gatherings that were held throughout the years.

Betty is survived by her 4 daughters, Marlene Alcorn, Delores (Gary) Cowman of Knoxville, IA, Debbie (Neil) Montz of Corydon, IA, Linda Houge of Williams Bay, WI, 3 sons, Bob (Valerie) Bassett of Bussey, IA, Jim (Betty) Bassett and John (Bobbi) Bassett of Knoxville, IA; one sister, Vivian Shrader of Warsaw, MO; 4 brothers, John (Barb) Haugland of Solon, IA, Ron (Barb) Hoover of Russell, IA, Doyle (Janet) Hoover of Chariton, IA, Kenneth Hoover of Indianola, IA; 2 brothers-in-law, Kenneth Bassett of Winterset, IA, Alvin (Shirley) Bassett of Waukee, IA; one sister-in-law, Ethel Bassett of Columbia, MO; 26 grandchildren; 45 great-grandchildren (plus 1 on the way); and 5 great-great-grandchildren.

Delores Marie (Bassett) Cowman
September 18, 1948 ? February 3, 2023

Delores Marie (Bassett) Cowman was born on September 18, 1948 to John Clarence and Betty Jean (Hoover) Bassett. Delores was the second of the Bassett?s seven children. She graduated from Van Meter High School with the class of 1966. Delores was united in marriage to Carl Lee Busch and to this union 3 daughters were born. Darbie Lynn, Amanda Marie and Jodie Jon, they later divorced. Delores met the love of her life, Gary Raymond Cowman, through mutual friends and were united in marriage on April 15, 1988 after 13 years of being together.
Following high school Delores entered the work field working for Farm Bureau and Employer?s Mutual Insurance companies before being hired by Knoxville Water Works on May 9, 1977. She retired after nearly 30 years of employment on January 26, 2007. She also served as a reserve police officer for the Knoxville Police Department for several years.
Delores and Gary were nearly inseparable and loved to visit with friends at coffee time, breakfast, or dinner at Mr. C?s, Beulah?s Café, Downtown Diner or Manny?s. They spent many nights at Prairie Meadows where she loved to play KENO, they spent hours sitting at the kitchen table, watching westerns, doing scratch offs or visiting with whichever kids or grandkids may have stopped by. They also loved to travel to Las Vegas to visit their Vegas Family, Fabian and Giselle and their children, grandchildren and extended family. She was an amazing cook and loved to have family dinners. Her greatest joy was her family, most especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and attending their events.

Marlene Louella Bassett-Alcorn
December 4, 1946 ? January 3, 2023

Marlene Louella Bassett-Alcorn was born on December 4, 1946, to John Clarence and Betty Jean (Hoover) Bassett. Marlene was the first of the Bassett?s seven children. She graduated from Van Meter High School with the class of 1964. Marlene was united in marriage to Larry Wayne Alcorn on December 30, 1965, and to this union 3 children were born. Daniel Wayne, Victoria Michelle, and Matthew David.
Following high school Marlene attended and graduated from American Institute of Business (AIB) in Des Moines with an Administrative Assistant Certificate and later in life returned to AIB and achieved a certificate in Hospitality. Marlene held various jobs over the years, spending several years at Pella Corporation, served as the Director of the Senior Meals program for Marion County, Geetings Warehouse and Jacobson Trucking Corporation.
Marlene was an avid reader, and enjoyed watching classic movies, Big Bang Theory, Supernatural and Jeopardy. She crocheted and knitted beautiful afghans for all of the kids and grandkids. She spent hours researching family history and genealogy and creating a database full of information on the Bassett, Loynachan, Hoover, and Alcorn families. However, Marlene?s greatest passion in life were her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Spending time with them brought her the greatest joy, even arranging her work schedule to be able to care for Vicki?s children while Vicki worked. She never missed any of their events and always went with Vicki and her family on every family vacation. Some of them were even geared to her interests, such as the trip to Graceland, the Black Hills, and Deadwood in South Dakota and to Germany and Virginia to visit Dan and his family.
Marlene was called home to be with the Lord on January 3, 2023, with Vicki, Dan and Tori by her side. She passed peacefully with Elvis? How Great Thou Art playing in the background. We take comfort knowing she was welcomed to heaven by those who preceded her in death. Her parents, John and Betty Bassett, sister in law Dale Marie Bassett, brother in law Richard Houge, and niece Amanda Johnson along with a host of extended family members and friends. Those left to cherish her memory include son Daniel (Shannon) Alcorn, daughter Victoria (Rick) Dye and son Matthew Alcorn. Grandchildren, Cassandra (Bryan), Jared, Sheldon, McKenna, Seth, Ashley (John), Jonathan (Heather), Nick, Kayla (Brock), Brett, Tori, Hailey, Jaccob, Andrew and Tiffany. Great-grandchildren, Braxl, Louella and Asher. Sisters Delores (Gary) Cowman, Debbie (Neil) Montz and Linda Houge. Brothers Bob (Valerie) Bassett, Jim (Betty) Bassett and John (Bobbi) Bassett. Along with many other extended family members and friends.

He spent the last days of his life surrounded by his loving and devoted posterity. Art was born on June 13, 1932, in Broken Bow, Nebraska, to Edith Opal Life and Joseph Irenus Bassett. He was the fifth of seven children.
His family moved to Idaho in 1945, where he attended Jr. High and High School. In 1951, Art joined the Air National Guard and was stationed in Salt Lake City, Utah, and then Clovis, New Mexico. He was honorably discharged from the Reserves in 1954. Art worked for several dairy companies between 1955 and 1962 before entering the sales industry.

In 1952, Art was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; and in 1955, he and Anna May were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. He was an active and devoted member of the church, and served faithfully in many callings throughout his life. Art demonstrated kindness, patience, and love to all those with whom he associated.
He and Anna May spent the majority of their married life living in Southern California raising their nine children. Art and Anna May loved to travel to visit family. They attended most of their grandchildren?s baby blessings, baptisms, high school graduations, and weddings. They loved their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren and cared deeply for each of them.
