     As told by Betty Bass: This is one of my favorite stories
     Dora Etta Larremore Bass was my grandma, and also my mother and father all wrapped into one. She raised me, Betty Bass from the time I was three years old until I was 18 years old. She had enough love to go around that after a short time she took two more of my sisters and raised them, they were Naomi Mary and Leona Joan Bass. Apparently my parents were busy doing their own thing and didn't have time to raise their daughters. Before she took my other two sisters, she worked odds jobs to supplement her small social security which she received each month. She picked apples, cleaned houses, babysat, but during all of this she never complained and I always came first, she showered me with lots of love and I was the apple of her eye. I remember when I would crawl up in her lap and ask her to tell me some stories before going to bed, and it would always be Indian stories, and then at that time, I always thought she lived through them, but come to find out, they were real Indian stories and they were the ones that her mother, Rachel Adeline Fanning Larremore, would tell her, because they happened to her.
     Also, Dora Etta Larremore Bass, my grandma told me that whenever her mother, Rachel Adeline Fanning Larremore, went to town, she would always purchase material to make dresses for my grandma, and Rachel's husband, George Washington Larremore would accompany her, so the color of material purchased was always blue and gray. My grandma said she always got tired of wearing dresses of that color.
     I have in my possession, my grandma's baby cup, which has been passed down through three generations, and the story goes, when my grandma was learning to print her name, she got her baby cup and inscribed her name "Dora" on it, before she was caught by her mother, Rachel Adeline Fanning Larremore. Rachel caught her and tanned her backside good. The name is still on it, and I cherish the cup lovingly, it will be passed down to one of my daughters and eventually to my oldest granddaughter. Hope they will cherish it like I have.
     Her Social Security Number was 527-26-7312 at Arizona.
