Death of Frank Bash --
The death of Frank Bash, which occurred at 3 o’clock last Saturday morning, was a sad blow to his family, and a sudden shock to the community. For a number of years Mr. Bash has been troubled with hernia, or rupture, by which name it is more commonly known. Within a short time past he had grown worse, and physicians pronounced that surgical operation would have to be performed, if even then his life was saved. Last Wednesday afternoon doctor’s Dicken, of Lafontain, and Lower and Ginthez of this city, performed an operation on him, cutting open Bash’s abdomen and replacing the intestines that had worked out at the aperture, They cut out about two pounds of omentum, or fatty substance, around the intestines that could not be put back. By performing this operation Bash had about one chance in four in getting well, while without it sure death was the result. That one chance failed to show up, and at the time named above he died. Mr. Bash was a member of the united Order of Honor in which organization he had an insurance policy of 83,000. He is the first member of the lodge in this city, although it has been organized over a year, that has been called beyond the shores of eternity. The following obituary notice has been handed in:
“William Franklin Bash was born March 8th, 1849, in Whitley County, Indiana, and died in North Manchester August 22, 1885, aged 36 years, 5 months and 14 days. He was married to Rebecca Edmonds April 11, 1863, by whom he had seven children, five of whom are left with their mother to mourn their loss. Brother Bash united with the Lutheran Church of this city February 15, 1885. His religious experience was clear and was a source of comfort in his last hours. He was fully resigned to die, called his family to his bedside, bid them farewell, and passed over to his home on high.” -- North Manchester Journal, Aug. 27, 1885, Wabash Co., IN

Fatal Accident – Ross Bash
Fatally Crushed
A North Manchester Lad Falls Under a Moving Train and is Killed.
The North Manchester Rays of Light gives the following account of a horrible accident that occurred in that town last Tuesday:
“On last Tuesday occurred the sad and fatal accident to Ross Bash, the little six year old son of Mrs. W. F. Bash who resides in the north part of the city. He and his brother Earl were playing upon the track when No. 97, a west bound freight was running a switch in order to pass the east bound mail. While the freight was taking the side track little Ross attempted getting on but was thrown under the moving train, crushing both his legs into a horrible mass.
His little brother immediately hastened to tell of his brother’s accident. Many rushed to the scene only to witness a horrible and ghastly sight. When first seen he was sitting up looking upon his wound. A cot was immediately secured and he was taken to his grief stricken mother. Dr. Lower was summoned and pronounced his wounds beyond aid, which proved to be fatal. He died about eight hours after the accident occurred.
The train was in charge of engineer Fred Myers, engine 90, and conductor Craun. None of the train men noticed the accident, but the second section following right behind them, notified them at the station here, and they cut off the engine and Agent Stow, run back to the scene of the accident. Funeral services today at the Lutheran church at 10 a.m. The above is a warning for many of the small boys who loiter and attempt getting on moving trains. – Wabash Times, Wabash Co., IN, 1/1/1892
Killed by Cars
A very distressing accident happened Tuesday noon, which resulted in the death of Ross, the six-year-old son of Mrs. Frank Bash. Mrs. Bash lives near the Dunkard church on North Walnut Street, and within a square, across lots, of the Wabash railroad. Her two little boys, Ross and Earl, aged about six and seven years respectively, with some other boys of the same age, were playing about the street, and had gone over to the railroad track. A freight train came along from the east, and was running very slowly, in order to head into the switch a few rods below. Little Ross Bash, who was hardly large enough to reach up to the cars, tried to climb on the train, and in doing so fell under the wheels. No one but the boys saw the accident, so far as we have been able to learn, and they were too badly frightened to tell how many cars passed over the little fellow or just how it happened. They gave the alarm, however, and some of the neighbors hurried to the spot, picked up the mangled body and carried it home. The car wheels had passed over both legs, severing one almost at the body and the other just below the knee. The boy, was alive, and retained consciousness until death, which came to his relief at eight o’clock in the evening, nor did he seem to suffer as much as would be expected from the character of his wound. He was an especially bright and healthy boy, and his death is felt very keenly by the family. This accident is the natural result of the habit of boys climbing on trains, and he was probably but copying after some older boy he had seen at the same thing. The wonder is rather that more accidents of the same kind do not occur, as we are informed that there are many boys in town between the ages of eight and sixteen who frequent the railroads at every opportunity, and climb on moving freight trains while they are switching in the yards. Funeral this forenoon at the Lutheran church. – North Manchester Journal, Wabash Co., IN, 12/31/1891
