Born in Ireland, where he spent his boyhood and attended school. When eighteen years of age he ran away from home and sailed on broad Atlantic toward the United States to seek his fortune. He first settled in Knox County, Tennessee, at the foot of the Cumberland Mountains, regarding whose picturesque inhabitants so much has been written, and in that locality he was married and made his home until the year 1832, when he made the tedious and somewhat hazardous overland trip to Greene county, Missouri, bringing his family in a primitive wagon, and thus the Masseys were among the earliest pioneers of this locality.He secured a tract of land just east of what is now the thriving city of Springfield, but which was at that time an encampment of the Kickapoo Indians. He set to work with a will, cleared, broke and fenced his land, erected a log cabin and by perseverance and hard work became very comfortably fixed in due course and time, and was a man of influence among the early frontiersmen, his neighbours being, however, very few and most of them some miles distant, untill more Tennesseeans followed him, the Fulbrights, the Freemans and others.
Although he devoted the major portion of his life to farming, he was a mechanic by trade and a skilled workman. He made the first separator, or "ground-hog" tresher, ever seen in this part of the country. During the war of 1812, he enlisted in defense of his adopted country, gladly figting against the flag under which he was born, and for meritoruius conduct on the field of battle he was promoted from a private to a captain, and served with distinction throughout the war. Politically he was first a Whig, then a Republican after that party was organized in the fifties. His death occured on his farm here in 1863.

Our Windsor correspondentthus writes;The saddest event which we have to chronicle is the death of Mr. EdwinBass, of the firm of Bass & Kelly, the well known merchants. Mr. Basswas sick about two weeks, and his disease, which was typhoid fever,soon developed a malignacy that made his physicians and his friendsdispair of his recovery. He was unconscious during most of the lastdays before his death. When his death was announced in the SouthernMethodist Church just before services begun, and the bell began totoll, sadness oppressed the heart of everyone present, and tearsflowed from the eyes of many who have so often seen him at that hourenter the church where he loved to worship. The remains were interredin the Windsor Cemetery on Monday morning after impressive funeralservices at the home by Rev. Springer, when the gloom andcheerlessness of the weather seemed in accord with the hearts of themourners. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Edwin Bass was born Feb 14, 1827, inBoone County, Mo. His father, Lawrence Bass, was one of the pioneersettlers in that county and came originally from near Nashville, Tenn.He has several brothers and sisters and a large circle of relativesnow residing in Boone county. He passed his early life on hisfather's farm, who cultivated largely and engaged also in tanning. Atthe age of 18, Mr. Bass began his career as a merchant, in the oldtown of Nashville, on the Missouri river, which spot is now completelyswept away, having been undermined and fallen in by the constantstrong currents. Later he did mercantile business at Claysville withhis family, where he erected himself a commodious residence, gatheredabout him considerable property, and also owned and managed anextensive farm. This continued his home until about 1864, when hesold out his store to his partner, Richard Spencer. He removed thento a farm in Callaway County, just opposite Jefferson City, where heremained about one year. During this year he purchased a stock ofgoods in connection with R. W. Major and sent them to Sedalia where astore was established under management of J. M. Burris. In 1865 heremoved his family to Windsor, where he purchased the hotel propertynow known as the Bass house, from Samuel Duncan. In the same year healso removed the stock of goods from Sedalia to Windsor, and reopenedunder the firm name of Bass & Major on the spot where the presentbrick store house is located. The old building in which he opened waspushed to the rear of the lot and is now used for a warehouse. In1866 or '67 he became sole owner of the store and stock. In 1868 hesold the stock of goods to Messrs. Tyron Bros who occupied the houseuntil the summer 1870. During the whole of 1868-69 he gave much ofhis time to opening a new farm 2 miles east of Windsor, which he ownedat time of his death. In the spring of 1869 he again engaged in themerchantile business under the firm name of A. J. Bass & Co. Eighteenmonths later the interest of A. J. Bass was purchased, when the firmof Bass & Kelly (Edwin Bass and Jno. S. Kelly) was established,Kelly's connection dating from the spring of 1869. Under thismanagement business prospered, and in 1874 they erected their presenttwo story brick business house 24 x 70 feet, which is yet nearly thelargest merchantile house in this town. This business will still bemaintained by the surviving partner.Deceased was a life-long christian. His membership in the M.E.Church, south dated from very early life. he was a zealous worker,always active in the local organizations where he made his home, aschurch steward and Sunday School superintendent. He contributedliberally to all church work and spread of the gospel. He was afriend of the poor, and never turned away empty handed those to whomcharity should be bestowed. He was generous, kindhearted, attentiveand active in business, and as a citizen was a hard worker in whatevercapacity he was engaged. In his death the county loses one of thhemost valuable and useful men, and Windsor one of its most interprisingand exemplary citizens. He leaves a widow and a large circle ofrelatives and friends to mourn his death.microfilm The Henry County DemocratClinton, Mo Thursday, October 19, 1882abstracted; Will of Perry Spencer; Boone county, State of Missouri2nd April A.D. 1862 Final settlement; August 1863 names; my daughterMary Jane, wife of Edwin Bass; my daughter Eliza Ann Spencer; mydaughter, Susanna Spencer; my sons, Richard Spencer, Gilpin Spencer,Edward Spencer, and James Henry Spencer.
