Death Summons Miss Bass
It is with much sadness that we chronicle the death of Sophie E. Bass, who died of lung trouble at her home, on Sixth and Crocker, last Saturday morning at 6:15 o?clock. Miss Bass had been sick for more than six months. During all this time her parents and friends had done all in their power to relieve her from that dreaded disease and restore her to her former health, but alas, all was in vain, for our heavenly father had called his beautiful bright young child, just blooming into womanhood, to his home above. Miss Sophia E. Bass was born in Atchison, Kansas, January 18, 1880, and came to Des Moines with her mother when but a mere child, where she grew up to womanhood, receiving a common school education. She entered the West Side High school, and was in the junior year of the classic course. Last summer she took the Latin course at Drake University. She wa a kind, loving girl, or pure character, with a bright future before her. She was a member of the A.M.E. church, and Sunday school organist. The funeral services was conducted by Dr. F.J. Peterson, assisted by Rev. H. McCraven, at the home and the remains was laid to rest in Woodland cemetery, last Sunday at 11 o?clock a.m., amid the many floral wreaths and boquets. We, with the many friends, exten dour profound sympathy and condolence to the bereaved mother and sister.
