Betty Bass helps us remember her Mother, Joy Lynn Wood Bass: Since my mother, Joy Lynn Wood Bass was born in Ballinger, Runnels County, Texas, here is a little history: Ballinger is the county seat of Runnels County, Texas. Agriculture, oil and natural gas support this community on the Colorado River, originally known as Hutchins City. It was here, in 1840, that Colonel John H. Moore is said to have given the Comanches their most costly defeat up to that time. "After Mama's oldest brother, Sam, left home Mama had to help with the raising of her younger brothers and sisters. Mama told me of how she had to pick cotton and black eyed peas. She picked so many black eyed peas that she could not stand to look at them, much less eat black eyed peas. Mama also talked about picking cotton during the summertime as she was growing up." "Before Joy Lynn Wood's marriage to John Larry Bass, she had a steady boyfriend in Ballinger, Texas. His name was Therman Whitman and apparently they were very serious about each other, but he was drafted to go fight in World War II. She apparently came to Arizona, around Clifton, with her sister, and there she met John Larry Bass and married him. Personally, I think she married him on the rebound, thinking that Therman Whitman was not coming back from the war." My mother was a Texas girl by heart. Her favorite songs were: "Waltz Across Texas", "San Antonio Rose", and the "Yellow Rose of Texas". She could whistle like a mockingbird, and I sure loved to hear her whistle. She was very young at heart, and I really miss her alot. She was my best friend as well as my mother. 12. Daniel Edwin4 Bass was also known as Big Jack. Daniel Edwin Bass was born on April 5, 1878 in Medina, Bandera County, Texas. At the age of 24, Daniel married Dora Etta Larremore, daughter of Judge George Washington Larremore and Rachel Adeline Fanning. Daniel and Dora were married on Thursday March 19, 1903 in Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico. Daniel Edwin Bass appeared on the census of 1920 in Grant County, New Mexico, it shows: BASS, DANIEL 41 born-Texas DORA 33 New Mexico EDNA G. 15 New Mexico IRENE 12 New Mexico DOROTHY 10 New Mexico JOHN L. 5 New Mexico. His Arizona Drivers License states: THIS CERTIFIES that the person described and named below was licensed April 22, 1938 to operate motor vehicles in accordance with the laws of Arizona. Name: JACK BASS Address: Morenci, Arizona Height: 5 feet 10 inches Color Eyes: Blue Color hair: Grey Age: man 60 years. Daniel Edwin Bass died on August 12, 1942 in Fort Huachuca, Cochise County, Arizona, at age 64; Cause of death was a fractured skull caused by blows from a bowling pin from hands of an unknown assailant(s), Murder was never solved. This article appeared in the Morenci, Greenlee County, Arizona newspaper in August 1942. JACK BASS FOUND MURDERED SUNDAY NEAR FT. HUACHUCA Word was received here Sunday by HOLLAND BASS, head watchman at the Bechtel plant, that his brother, JACK BASS, formerly of this community had been killed. MR. BASS was found with his head crushed in by a weapon said to have been a bowling pin, in his bowling alley near Fort Huachuca, Sunday morning. Meager reports coming to the sheriff's office here are that MR. BASS had been killed and robbed. No other information has been received at this time. HOLLAND BASS left immediately for Fort Huachuca. Leaving from Morenci Sunday with Mr. Bass were his nieces, daughters of the victim, Mrs. John Day and Mrs. Pace. In the BISBEE, ARIZONA newspaper dated August 12, 1942, the article reads: SECOND MYSTERIOUS DEATH IS PROBED AS INQUEST HELD IN CASE OF BOWLING ALLEY MAN The second mysterious death at Fort Huachuca, Arizona within 48 hours was reported yesterday as the body of Pvt. Johnnie Powell, 35, Negro, was brought here for funeral arrangements after he died late Monday in the station hospital. Military authorities did not release details concerning the injuries of which Powell died after he was found unconscious on the reservation Sunday afternoon, but the death certificate stated that he received severe spinal injuries. The discovery of Powell's unconscious body followed by seven hours the finding of the body of DANIEL E. BASS, 64, bowling alley employee who was bludgeoned to death with a bowling pin, early Sunday morning. VERDICT RETURNED-Meanwhile a coroner's jury after hearing testimony of witnesses reached a verdict yesterday in Lowell justice court that BASS met his death at the hands of person or persons unknown, wielding a blunt instrument. Time of death was set between the hours of 12 and 8 a.m. on Sunday. Pvt., Odell White, employed at the bowling alley by Manager W.L. Woodrow, testified that he last saw "UNCLE JACK" BASS, as he was familiarly known by the soldiers, alive at closing time: midnight Saturday. White discovered the front door of the building partly open the next morning at 8:10 when he came to work, and became alarmed when he noticed that the door of a closet where cash was kept had been pried open, he stated. NOTICED BLANKETS-He then noticed a mass of blankets under the bed of BASS' room, noticed a bare foot protruding, and immediately notified several nearby military policemen, he said. Military and civil authorities, including Sheriff I.V. Pruitt, L. T. Frazier, coroner, and Ben Baker, deputy sheriff, were then summoned. A soldier who had never frequented the place before sat at a table in the alley during the entire evening prior to the murder, and another man unknown to White inquired just prior to the discovery of the body as to the opening time of the establishment, White testified. MANAGER TESTIFIES-W.L. Woodrow, the alley's manager, stated that an unusually large amount of cash was kept on hand Saturday night, as it was payday for one of the divisions. The money was kept in a register in a closet near the victim's bed. A total of $465 in cash was taken at the time of the murder, making robbery the probable motive. Of the 30 watches which BASS had kept as security on money lent to soldiers, three were also missing from the closet. Capt. Charles A. Smith, medical officer who had been called to examine the body at the time of its discovery, stated that death could have resulted from either the multiple skull fractures dealt by six blows from the bowling pin, or the resulting loss of blood. NECK FRACTURED-The victim's neck was possibly broken by the blows, he said after examining the body prior to the inquest. Testimony discounted the supposition, caused by the fact that a shirt was found knotted around the victim's neck, that BASS had been garroted. No explanation was found for the belt tied around his left arm. Testimony of the witnesses was not conclusive as to whether or not BASS had struggled with the murderer, as the room and bed might have been upset in the search for $200 in cash, which BASS had cached in the bed. There was also a question as to whether there had been one intruder or two. Two bowling pins, one of them blood stained, were found near the body, and it was thought highly improbable that one man had broken into the rear of the building grasped a bowling pin in each hand, and groped down the dark alley to the room where the janitor slept. TOOLS SCATTERED-Tools from a box in the room were scattered about according to the witnesses, but testimony bore out that none of them had been the lethal weapon. Other witnesses at the inquest were Pruitt, and several military policemen from the fort who had been called by Pvt. White. Members of the coroner's jury were Ben Baker, J.C. Hubbard, J.D. Warnock, J.M. Patrick, Walter Muir, and Henry Keahey. As Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, called in because the murder occurred on the military reservation, and military authorities pressed the search for the murderer or murderers, aided by prints and other clues. Funeral services for BASS were held at 6 p.m. yesterday in Cloverdale, New Mexico, with the Hubbard-Allison mortuary in charge. Surviving BASS are his wife, MRS. DORA E. BASS, Clifton; his mother, MRS. SUSAN BASS, Cloverdale; three daughters, Mrs. John Day and Mrs. G.I. Pace, both of Morenci, and Mrs. Ervin Goats, Animas, N.M.; a son, JOHN L. BASS, Clifton; a sister, Mrs. Lee Henderson, Cloverdale; and two brothers, Holland Bass, Morenci, and Clyde Bass, Cloverdale. Funeral arrangements for Powell, who is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jimmie Powell, have not yet been completed but burial will probably be in Florale, Alabama, his former home. Daniel Edwin Bass was buried in Cloverdale Cemetery, Cloverdale, Hidalgo, New Mexico; Cloverdale is located about forty miles south of Animas, Hidalgo, New Mexico. 13. Dora Etta4 Larremore.

Fisher, Jr., Charles Walters, Allen Hill, Joe Bivens, Bill Moore, and Loyd Reed. Burial was in Mountain View Cemetery. As told by Betty Bass: This is one of my favorite stories Dora Etta Larremore Bass was my grandma, and also my mother and father all wrapped into one. She raised me, Betty Bass from the time I was three years old until I was 18 years old. She had enough love to go around that after a short time she took two more of my sisters and raised them, they were Naomi Mary and Leona Joan Bass. Apparently my parents were busy doing their own thing and didn't have time to raise their daughters. Before she took my other two sisters, she worked odds jobs to supplement her small social security which she received each month. She picked apples, cleaned houses, babysat, but during all of this she never complained and I always came first, she showered me with lots of love and I was the apple of her eye. I remember when I would crawl up in her lap and ask her to tell me some stories before going to bed, and it would always be Indian stories, and then at that time, I always thought she lived through them, but come to find out, they were real Indian stories and they were the ones that her mother, Rachel Adeline Fanning Larremore, would tell her, because they happened to her. Also, Dora Etta Larremore Bass, my grandma told me that whenever her mother, Rachel Adeline Fanning Larremore, went to town, she would always purchase material to make dresses for my grandma, and Rachel's husband, George Washington Larremore would accompany her, so the color of material purchased was always blue and gray. My grandma said she always got tired of wearing dresses of that color. I have in my possession, my grandma's baby cup, which has been passed down through three generations, and the story goes, when my grandma was learning to print her name, she got her baby cup and inscribed her name "Dora" on it, before she was caught by her mother, Rachel Adeline Fanning Larremore. Rachel caught her and tanned her backside good. The name is still on it, and I cherish the cup lovingly, it will be passed down to one of my daughters and eventually to my oldest granddaughter. Hope they will cherish it like I have. 26. Judge George Washington5 Larremore. Judge George Washington Larremore was born on January 20, 1840 in Washington, Arkansas, son of John Larremore and Amanda Elizabeth Conway. At age 26, George married Rachel Adeline Fanning, daughter of George Wesley Fanning and Mary More McDonald. George and Rachel were married on Wednesday July 4, 1866 in Fredericksburg, Gillespie County, Texas. George was a Texas Ranger and a Commanche Indian scout for the Confederate Army of Texas. He served in the Frontier Forces from 1870 to 1871, and the Frontier Battalion between 1874 and 1898. On June 3, 1878 he bought 76 acres from his brother-in-law, Joseph T. Fanning. He did the surveying of these tracts of land which was accepted by the County authorities. When George brought his family by wagon train in 1880 to what was later called Seven Rivers, it was a true wilderness. The wagon train arrived September 22, 1880 and included the families of Joe Fanning, Joe Woods, Will Nelson, Marion Burleson, Ed Peril, Dick Turknett, Howard Henderson, Levi Watson, and Charlie and Buster Gambel. These were the original settlers of the area and many are included as family in this tree. By 1884, more pioneers arrived by wagon train and the area now known as Seven Rivers became a small wild west cow town. This wild town soon attracted many outlaws; Billy the Kid (alias, William H. Bonney, Henry McCarty, and Kid Antrim) being one who frequently visited the Larremore's of this area. Another famous outlaw of the time was Clay Allison. Instead of dying in a gun battle like most gunslingers, he died while he was with our Judge George. Quoting an article found on angelfire, "Clay Allison fell off Geo. Larrimore's wagon and was killed..." He had gone to the town of Pecos, Texas, for some supplies. Apparently, a grain sack had begun to slide from the wagon, and when Allison reached for it, he lost his balance, fell, and one of the wheels passed over his neck, breaking it and killing him." The entire Clay Allison story can be found at http://www.angelfire.com/apes/westlegends/Allison.htm . Judge George Washington Larremore died on June 13, 1909 in Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico, at age 69. He was buried in Carlsbad Cemetery - Odd Fellows, Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico. He The front page of the CARLSBAD ARGUS dated June 18, 1909 reads: DEATH OF GEORGE W. LARREMORE Judge George W. Larremore died at his home, in the northwest part of the city, last Saturday evening, of cancer, and was buried Sunday afternoon, in the City cemetery. 'Uncle George,' as he was familiarly known to the majority of the citizens of Carlsbad, was one of the oldest citizens in this part of the valley and had until the past few months, enjoyed robust health. He was born in Arkansas, sixty-nine years ago, and removed from there to Texas in the early forties. In 1880 he became imbued with the western spirit and migrated to the Pecos Valley, settling on a tract of land in the Seven River country, about twenty miles northwest of Carlsbad, which is still known as the 'old Larremore place.' About six years ago he moved to a farm near Malaga, where he continued to live until this past winter, when , on account of his failing health, he came to Carlsbad to receive medical attention. Last year, he announced himself a candidate for probate judge of Eddy county and his popularity with his home people was most graciously shown by the large majority which was given him when the votes were counted, which was the largest majority ever given a candidate for any office in Eddy county. Last October, cancer of the face developed and he immediately sought treatment, but with no avail. It stubbornly refused to yield to the most rigorous treatment, and early this spring he underwent an operation which it was thought would check if not cure the trouble, but such was not the case, and last Saturday night it claimed him for its victim. The decased leaves a wife and four children to mourn his death. They are Mrs. George W. Larremore, his wife; Mrs. Alice Hillyer, C. W. Larremore, J. M. Larremore and Mrs. Dora Bass all of whom were at his bedside when the end came. The funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon, from his late home, conducted by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of which he was a member. The remains were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' reserve, in the City cemetery. 27. Rachel Adeline5 Fanning was also known as Aunt Ad. She also went by the name of Ade.
