Chauncey Earl Bass was known to all as "Earl." He was the son of Chauncey Ephraim and Minnie (Myers) Bass. Earl was a fine musician and violinest; at barn dances he was the Fiddler!
On January 27, 1915 he married Loretha Manier in Graying, Michigan. They had three sons and one daughter: Earl Leroy, born 1915, Tracy Wm., born 1916, Eleanor "Lennie" born 1917, and George Laurence Bass, born 1919.
About 1921-1922, Earl married Emma Katherine DeVine in Kansas. They had two daughters: Earline Katherine born 1923, and Peggy Edith Bass born 1924.
In 1924, Earl went into the logging business with his father, and his two brothers, Pearley and Mason. About August of 1925, near McCune, Crawford, Kansas, Earl was seriously hurt in a logging accident. He was helping to load a boxcar of Walnut logs when the log swung over and sheered off the top of his scalp. Earl recovered but was never quite the same. He spent the last several years of his life at the Osawatomie State Hospital; he was taught to be a tinsmith and seemed quite happy.
