County Paper 1937
Obituary of Mrs. Texas Bass

     It was in the still, quit hours around one o'clock in the morning of Oct. 
12, 1937 when most of the world was slumbering that the eyes of our dearly 
beloved sister Mrs. Texas Bass, closed for a last peaceful sleep before the 
Ressurection.  She passed away much as she had lived, peaceful and quiet.

    "Aunt Tex", or " Granny Bass,"  as she was commonly called, was before her 
marriage, Miss Texas Johnson, the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. John Jackson 
Johnson.  At the age of twenty years she was married to Mr. William 
Jaley, "Pink" Bass.  This union was blessed with twelve children.

    She joined the Missionary Baptist Church at Oak Grove and was baptised by 
Rev. J. L. Williams.  In later years she moved membership to Little Vine 
Baptist Church and remained a faithful member until her death called her .  
Although ill health of herself and other members of her family together with 
long distance kept her from attending services of the church she loved.  We 
have testimonials to bear out the fact that her mind and heart's desires were 
with us and that her payers were constantly going up in behalf of Little Vine 
Church.

    Her remains were gently deposited to rest in Little Vine cemetery. Her 
funeral was conducted by Rev. Willie Thompson, Rev. J.M. & J. C. Campbell.

    She is survived by seven children, sixty two grandchildren, ninety three 
great-grandchildren and five great, great grandchildren.  Her husband and five 
children having preceded her to the grave.

    After having been unconscious for quite a while she suddenly revived and 
addressing a son in law who stood near she said, "Thank God, he has given me 
power to see and to talk."  She then gave them a good and sweet talk by 
calling each one of her children seperately and admonished with a mother's 
advice to trust in God and portray the love of Jesus in their hearts.  She 
said she was ready to go and was simply waiting to go to sleep.

    We feel that a good christian soul, and heir to the throne has gone from 
our midst leaving an empty place that will never be filled.  She has fought a 
good fight, she has kept the faith, henceforth there is a crown laid up for 
her.  For they shall rest from their labours and their works shall follow them.

    Resolved that a copy of this memorial be placed upon our church records, 
and one sent to our county paper for publication.

 Respectfully submitted,
 Dura Campbell,
 Myrtice Norris,
 Odessa Campbell -- Committee
