Obituary:
Kissimmee Valley Gazette, Friday, July 29, 1904 [extremely difficult to transcribe clipping]
Another old resident of this community has gone to his reward and while he had not passed the allotted time of man, the summons was sudden and he was cut down almost unexpectedly.
Crawford Bass, was born in Sumter county, Georgia, about sixty-seven years ago, and when a young man came with his father's family to Florida and for the past thirty-five years resided in what is now Osceola county. He served as a soldier in the Indian war of '56 and at the breaking out of hostilities between the states enlisted in the Confederate service with he served faithfully and well until incapacitated by an attack of typhoid pneumonia which lasting several months he was sent home in charge of his brother George to recuperate; but the war ended before he was able to bear arms again. His health regained, he set about to make a home and repair his fortune. Always of a strong and robust consitution he was given to an active life and enjoyed excellent health until five years ago when he received a fall which impaired the action of his heart and ultimately caused his death last Tuesday. That morning he arose in usual health and went about his usual duties until about ten o'clock when he was assisting in some farm work some distance from the house when he was taken with an attack of the heart. He called his son who was near who drove his wagon to where he was to carry him to the house. Unassisted he got in the wagon and out again at the yard gate. There a tremor seized him and he caught hold of the pickets to steady himself. His son noticed his agitation and ran to his assistance and caught him around the waist. As the son did so the father said, "I am gone," gave a convulsive shudder, fell in his son's arms who carried him into the house where he quickly passed away.
Word was sent to his relatives in town and arrangements made for his interment which occurred Wednesday morning at ten a'clock at Rosehill cemetery.
Mr. Bass was twice married, and was the father of five sons, Messrs. Walter Bass, Sr., Rull Bass, Thomas A. Bass, Time Bass and Bass all of who with his last wife and numerous other relatives survive him.
His flat stone is located at Plot: Sec 1, Blk 34, Lot 1, Sp D
