LUCIEN O. BASS.  Among the pioneers of Colebrook we find the name 
of Bass, the first of that name, Nathan, having settled here in 1766.  
Lucien O., the subject of this sketch, is the youngest of the following 
family, children of Henry and Jerusha Bass:  Sidney H., Belario, Elvira, 
Lucia L., Jerusha, Joseph H., Warren A., and Lucien O.  Lucien O. was 
educated at the common schools, and remained on the farm with his 
father until 1849, when he went to Summit Co., Ohio, and served as an 
apprentice in the machinist business.  In 1866 he returned to Colebrook, 
where he has since resided.  Mr. Bass has held various town offices, and 
was a representative in the Legislature in 1872.  He and his sisters, 
Elvira and Jerusha, reside on the old homestead.  Mr. Bass' father, Henry 
Bass, died in 1856, aged eighty, and his mother in the year 1869, aged 
eighty-six.
