BASS RIVER GAZETTE NEWSPAPER

The Bass River Gazette is a local historical newsletter jointly published by the Bass River Library History Committee and The Great John Mathis Foundation. It's contributing members are Harry DeVerter, Stephen Eichinger, Jean Harris, Murray T. Harris, Ron Kurtz, Elaine Mathis, Peter H. Stemmer, and the Herrintown Poet. We lost our friend and colleague, Almira Steele, on July 11, 2006, Murray and Jean Harris have moved out of the area, and Elaine is away for a good part of the year. We welcome Ron Kurtz who has joined us with his talent for illustrating historical events.

Unfortunately, due to lack of help and some health problems, we have not published a Gazette since March, 2009. We welcome the submission of material for consideration, so that we can begin publishing again. Please email us if you have any suggestions or if you would like to submit material for inclusion in future editions. Your contributions will effect the number of Gazettes that we publish. The more articles, photos, etc. that we receive, the more editions we will publish. If we don't get any help, it will mean the end of the Gazette.
