Generelle notater: Ektemann - Ely Meredith Bass

Lived near Ashland, Boone County, Missouri.

Was considered the wealthiest man in Boone and neighbouring counties for a period of great many years. He owned a large estate and was an extensive stock breeder, and had 45 slaves who were quartered in twelwe cabins. He used his wealth and influence to good purpose and was very generous in his charities. He hired teachers from the east to teach his children, but he also invited children of his neighbors and poor families to participate.

Eli Bass was a member of "The Committee of Three" to contract and superintend the erection of the main edifice of the State University, and was one of the first Board of Curators by an Act of the General Assembly, February 11, 1839.

After his brother Theophilus died, Eli came to Taney County and took two of the children back to Boone County to educate them; Mary going to Howard-Payne College at Fayette, while John entered an Academy at Ashland.
