Jordan Bass died at the home of his son, Lewis Bass, in Brandywine town­ship, at 10:30 a.m. Sunday September 29, of stomach trouble, age eighty years.

Funeral was held at the Liberty church, in Marion township at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, October 1, Rev. George Cohagen officiating, interment in the Liberty cemetery.

The deceased was one of the earliest settlers of this county and for a number of years resided in Brandywine town­ship, where he raised a large family of children as follows: Mrs. Charles Schull and Linden Bass, of Tecumseh, Neb­raska; Lewis, Calvin and Henry Bass, of this county; Elias Bass, of Indian­apolis, Mrs. H. C. Weaver, of this city; Mesdames Appolis Kinsley, Spencer Bassett, John Hughes, John Norvill, Henry Nail and David Campbell, all of Shelby county, the latter having pre­ceded him into the great beyond some years ago as did his estimable wife, since which time he has been making his home with various ones of his children, who strained every effort to make his declining years most pleasant ones. He had been in poor health for several years past and leaves a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren to mourn his departure, with other surviving relatives. Cummins & Edwards had charge of the remains.
