BASSFIELD, Miss. (WDAM) - The great-grandson of the founder of Bassfield needs your help to tell the story of life in that Jefferson Davis County town.
Gary Russell Bass is putting together a time capsule that will be buried in two weeks as part of a 125th-anniversary celebration for Bassfield.
Bass’ great-grandfather, Alexander E. Bass, petitioned for a post office for Bassfield in 1895.
Bass is accepting family photos, letters and other artifacts for that capsule.
