He married Delia Walrath on August 9, 1868, and had three children: Everett James Bass, William Henry Bass and Cora Riley Bass.
He died at age 44 on 15 October 1886 and was buried at Wilcox Cemetery in Little Falls. The cemetery was abandoned and in disrepair for many years. Due to the efforts of local volunteers, Bass's gravesite was located, cleaned up and properly decorated.
The gravesite was rededicated on May 24, 2012.
Bass's great- great- great grandson is currently running for Congress to represent New York's 24th Congressional District.
