Americus Times-Recorder, Georgia, 14 February 1902
Death of Mrs. Juliette Bass
Estimable Woman Passes Away After Brief Illness
Mrs. Juliette B. Bass died at five o?clock yesterday morning at the resident of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, 282 Jackson street, after an illness of perhaps three weeks. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Bass was not wholly unexpected, as it has been known that her condition was precarious.
She was esteemed among many friends in Americus, her home for several years, and among these the announcement of her death brings deep sorrow.
And this will be shared by other friends in many cities of the state.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Bass came from her home in New York City to visit her mother, Mrs. Smith, and daughter, Mrs. Clifford Shellman, in Americus. Only a few days after arriving here she became ill and gradually grew worse, the end coming at an early hour yesterday, as stated.
Mrs. Bass was the widow of Captain J.M. Bass, the family residing in Americus for a number of years while Captain Bass held the position of general manager of the S.A. & M. Railway.
She was reared in Macon, where the family also resided for many years.
For some time past Mrs. Bass had made her home in New York with her daughter, Mrs. E.W. Davis, of 153 West 44th street, and who was recently summoned here on account of her mother?s illness. Mrs. Bass is survived by her mother and two daughters and a sister residing in Little Rock.
The funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian church here at 12 o?clock, noon, today, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Le Roy G. Henderson.
Upon conclusion of this service the remains will be taken by the 1:34 p.m. train to Macon, and at 5 o?clock this afternoon laid to rest by the side of her late husband in Rose Hill cemetery. Friends of the family are invited to attend the services at the church this morning.
The pallbearers here will be Messrs. J.B. Felder, J.A. Davenport, E.D. Ansley, Crawford Wheatley, Thomas Harrold and R.S. Broadhurst.
