Bass
The death of John H. Bass, jr. occurred early last Wednesday morning at Brookside, the beautiful suburban home of his father, J.H. Bass, the well-known president of the Bass Foundry and Machine works. The end came after a protracted illness.
The young man?s age was twenty-one years, five months and ten days. For nearly two years past he had been in feeble health, suffering from stomach trouble with complications of kidney and heart affection. Despite the efforts of skilled physicians and attendants the young man continued to grow weaker, and several weeks ago was compelled to take to his bed. The decline has been general, and death was due to exhausting resulting from the stomach trouble.
Mr. Bass was born and reared in Fort Wayne, and was very widely known. He was finely education, attending the public schools in boyhood and later enjoying the advantages of an efficient private tutor for many years, receiving instruction in this manner in preference to leaving home to attend of the larger educational institutions. In the department of history he was especially proficient, was extensive reader and kept himself thoroughly informed upon the current topics of the day.
He was devoted to life upon the country estate of the family, and took much pride in the handsome thoroughbred stock for which Brookside farm has became famous. Personally he was affable and pleasant, and his friendships were enduring ones. He has been for many years a member of the First Presbyterian church, and an active member of the Caledonian society. The surviving members of the family are the parents and one sister, Miss Grace Bass.
