SKETCH F AUTHOR.
H. ROYCE BASS, son of Henry and Mary B. (Cady) Bass, was born in Braintree, September 1, 1848. Most of his life until twenty-five years of age was spent upon his father's farm, but his ambition was never satisfied with so small a field for action. From a child he was possessed of a thirst for knowledge and a deep delight in study, and his life proved the child "father to the man." In '65 he began to attend the State Normal School located at Randolph, spent several terms there, also several in the West Randolph Graded School, but not completing the course of study at either. Having a love for journalism, in the spring of '71 he entered the employ of the editor of the Argus and Patriot, published at Montpelier, where he continued one year writing much for that paper, as well as several others, during that year and the two or three succeeding ones. He formed the determination to put him- self through college, and in pursuance of his plan, studied Latin in the summer of '73, and in the autumn of the same year entered the preparatory course of Oberlin (O.) College. He taught school and canvassed for different articles during his course of study to defray his expenses as far as possible. He finished this college course in June, '79, with high honors as one of the class leaders. His testimonials from the Professors unite in referring to him as "a young man of the highest ability and sterling worth."
In the fall of '79 he returned to Oberlin, and entered the Theological Seminary at that place, intending to take a full course, but was forced to leave it at the end of a year on account of having a terrible fit of sickness, from which he never fully recovered. He returned to Braintree and regained a sufficient degree of health to permit him to teach district and select schools, and enter upon his last work, this history of Braintree.
In January, '83 he assumed the duties of teacher of mathematics in the Randolph State Normal School, but his ill health compelled him to abandon it in June. The first of July he crossed the continent with the hope of receiving benefit from the far famed California climate, but was thwarted in this as in so many other aims. Six weeks after his arrival at that place he was attacked with pneumonia, and for weeks was considered to be in a dying condition. To the surprise of physicians he became strong enough to return East as far as Iowa, where he died at his brother's, April 1, 1884. He married Carrie L. Simmons, formerly of Royalton, October 4, 1883.
As a man he was a deep thinker, earnest in all that he undertook, unyield- ing when fighting evil, severely just, yet by nature kindly and sunny. Only a fine grained, pure souled Christian man could have exerted the influence and left the reputation he has. Truly, for him "to live was Christ, and to die was gain."
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN :
My husband, dying, left some work for me to do on the History, and much correcting. Many faulty statements, perhaps, will be found in the work in consequence, which he would have been able to prevent.
MRS. CARRIE L. BASS.
