| 2961 | The Saratogian, August 4, 2019 Florence B. Hinckley (Picture included) 1930 ? 2019 GREENFIELD CENTER - On July 24, 2019 Florence's earthly life terminated and we are confident that her soul now rests peacefully in the presence of Jesus Christ her Lord and Savior. Florence (Flo) was married to William (Bill) for 69 years. He was the love of her life, her companion and the father of her 7 children. Together they journeyed through all the ups and downs that life gave them and since his death in December she longed to be reunited with her other half.Florence was blessed with a long life and was a splendid example to all with whom she came in contact of what it means to be a Christian woman. She was a unique woman with a fabulous gift for liking other people no matter what their situation in life happened to be. We have seen her enfold some challenging people in her own life, people society shunned, just because, as she put it ? they are human and they need to be loved. She truly was an ambassador for Christ.Flo always shared with her mother Florence, a love of flowers. When we would visit her parents in Ithaca, New York the two Flo's would disappear for hours. Eventually we would find them in one or another flower garden happily pulling weeds while cementing their relationship. Back in Greenfield, following her mother's passing, daughter Flo carried on the gardening tradition, for grubbing in the dirt helped her to maintain her memories of her mother. She, in turn, passed the love of gardening to her children.If you didn't know Flo, we cannot paint a complete picture of her here but some highlights follow. She was every bit as proficient in the kitchen as she was stacking firewood in the barn. She loved animals and making crafts. She learned to drive a stick shift car and mastered the good old typewriter. She was a ?number please girl? (telephone operator) for many years in order to put her husband through college, and she served as a mainstay employee at Bill?s News Room, a family venture located in Schuylerville. Her working career ended with a 30-year stretch in the business office at Saratoga Hospital holding down a position for which she was perfectly qualified.Flo?s crowning jewel was as a mother. In addition to all of the ways she found to keep Bill?s life running smoothly, she agreed to become a mother and produced seven youngsters. She did a great job doing most of the day to day work of raising them. It delighted her to know that her seven children continue to like and help one another to this day. When the good Lord brought Flo and Bill together so many years ago, he certainly started something! Florence was predeceased by her parents, Charles and Florence Bassett of Saratoga Springs and Ithaca, New York. Mr. Bassett had been the director of the Fur Animal Experiment Station on Route 9N while they lived in Saratoga. She was also predeceased by four siblings; George, a pilot who was killed just as WW2 was ending, Elizabeth (William) Kark of Sprakers, NY, Charles Bassett of Rochester, NY, Margaret Vicari of Newport, NC. Two siblings remain as survivors: Col. James R. (Judy) Bassett of Toledo, WA, and Jean (John) Kinyon of Holly Springs, NC. Survivors also include Florence?s 7 children Patricia (Leon) Gordon of Pompton Lakes, NJ, Carol (Dale) Gerbing of Ballston Lake, Nancy (Timothy) Stevens of Saratoga, Diane (Robert) Loviza of Saratoga, William Jr. and Daniel (Julie) Hinckley, both of Greenfield Center, and Mary (James) O?Connell of Ballston Spa.. Other survivors include 15 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. A celebration of life service will be held August 10th at the First Baptist Church, 202 Milton Ave., Ballston Spa, NY 12020. Visitation at 9:30, service at 10:30 followed by a light lunch reception.The family, at Flo's request, asks that no flowers be sent but instead that memorial contributions be made to her favorite organizations: City Mission of Schenectady, 425 Hamilton St, Schenectady, NY 12305, St.Jude's, 501 St. Jude's Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or Malta Home of the Good Shepherd, (Please write "Activities" on the memo line), 26 Rock Rose Way, Malta, NY12010.

| 2965 | The Seattle Times, Washington, 26 September 2019 Richard John Myhre Richard John (Dick) Myhre, who served his country faithfully during World War II and his family with love and devotion for more than 70 years, entered into the holy presence of his Lord Jesus Christ on September 16, 2019. He was 98 years old. To those who knew him, Dick was a man of remarkable decency, kindness and compassion. He savored his time with family and friends. He always put the concerns of others before his own. He rarely raised his voice unless it was to cheer on his beloved University of Washington Huskies. And his profound faith in the face of hardships, including the relentless disease that finally ended his life, was an inspiration to all. A man of many interests, he found solace fishing in quiet mountain streams. He enjoyed digging clams and chopping firewood at his waterfront Birch Bay home. He delighted in helping the needy, including the 14 overseas children he supported financially and with letters of encouragement. He loved good books and was always keen to learn something new. But his greatest passion was his Christian faith, and he never wavered from the belief that God had a purpose and plan for his life. In his final weeks, he was quick to share his faith with the doctors and nurses at the medical appointments that ultimately proved unsuccessful in prolonging his life. When the fateful prognosis became certain, he faced it with courage and acceptance, never uttering a bitter word. Dick was born in Tacoma on December 11, 1920. The son of Carl and Florence Myhre, he was raised in the Ballard area of Seattle, though he graduated from Kent High School in 1939. He later joined the National Guard and was mobilized to active duty in September of 1940. He was stationed at Fort Lewis outside of Tacoma when Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941, and within four months he was on a troop ship headed to Efate in the New Hebrides Islands. Having received sanitation and medical training, he served in hospitals in the New Hebrides and later New Zealand before being assigned to a malaria-control unit on Saipan in the Marianas Islands. He was on Saipan in August of 1945 when the war ended. After the war, Dick enrolled at the U.W. and received an undergraduate degree in fisheries science in 1950, followed by a master's degree in 1960. He began working as a biologist at the International Pacific Halibut Commission in May of 1949 and remained for 36 years, including the final 14 years as assistant director. Dick married his wife Dorothy in May of 1949, and they settled in Edmonds to raise four children. They were active in the Edmonds United Methodist Church, and enjoyed square dancing, playing bridge and other activities with a special group of friends. After his retirement in 1985, he and Dorothy spent their remaining years in Edmonds and at homes in Birch Bay and Mesa, Arizona. He was preceded in death by Dorothy in 2013. In his final days, Dick cited one of his guiding scriptures, Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight." They were important words to him in this life, and they took him safely into eternal life. Dick is survived by son Craig Knowlton (Sheryl) of Edgewood, son Keith Knowlton (Julie) of Kirkland, daughter Doy Groenenberg (Calvin) of Yakima, and son Richard Myhre Jr. (Joyce) of Edmonds. In addition, he is survived by 11 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. An interment service for immediate family will be held at Woodlawn Cemetery in Ferndale. A memorial service will be at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, at Garden Street United Methodist Church in Bellingham. Memorials may be made in Dick's name to Compassion International or the Whatcom Hospice Foundation. | Myhre, Richard John (I17455)

| 2966 | The Sentinel-Record, Hot Springs, Arkansas, Sunday, 3 Novemb er 2024 Marily J.A. Bass Marilyn Jo Ann (Jody) Bass, 91, of Hot Springs, passed away at her home on Oct. 29, 2024. She was preceded in death by the love of her life for 62 years, Earl Bass, whom she married in 1953. She leaves behind her loving family, Thomas C. Bass, Steven R. Bass, Viktoria Bass, Craig Bass and Julie Bass. Jody was born on Dec. 3, 1932, in Hot Springs and graduated from Hot Springs High School in 1950. She started her first job as secretary for an accounting firm for the next three years. Little did she know, but right across the street from where she worked, she would meet Earl. They fell in love and married in 1953. At the age of 20, she immediately became a stepmother to two young boys and took on the task of motherhood and being a working wife. They were active members of the Lakeside Country Club and shared golfing activities. Time was also spent together at the YMCA and on Lake Hamilton fishing and water skiing with the boys. She was an enthusiastic Razorback fan. She soon learned how to balance her priorities when, in 1954, her life took her on an unexpected journey for the next 25 years when she was offered a job at Arkansas Bank and Trust Co. Jody began her banking career in the Proof and Bookkeeping Departments, being a teller and working in numerous other bank departments. She was trained to operate early generation Electronic Bookkeeping Machines. In 1961, she joined the Trust Department as a secretary/bookkeeper; determination led to her becoming an assistant trust officer and dedication to her profession resulted in her being promoted to trust officer in 1973, specializing in guardianships and estate administration. To further her career, she received her certificate from The Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, and became Arkansas' first of two women to earn their trust major certificate in 1973. Jody was also the first woman to hold an administrative faculty position at the school as director of School Activities and Special Programs. Jody had an infectious smile and charming personality, who was a strong leader and supporter of banker's education for women. She believed that it built your confidence, taught discipline and setting priorities, and it gave you a definite sense of accomplishment. She was inspired to become a trust officer in 1970 when she attended the first Women Bankers Conference and listened to a former Miss America say that "you can do anything you want to do, if you really want to do it." Jody subsequently achieved her goal and several others. In 1976, Jody was promoted to vice president and director of the newly formed Personal Services Department at ABT and was named director of the Training Department until her retirement in 1979. Jody was actively involved and respected in many professional and civic organizations. She was a charter member and past president of the Garland County Chapter of the National Association of Legal Secretaries, and she was "Legal Secretary of the Year" in 1971. She was past president of the Hot Springs Business and Professional Women's Club and its "Woman of the Year" in 1974.

| 2971 | The South Georgia Conference of the UMC News, June 29, 2011 Q&A with Rev. Henry Bass ? Valdosta District Superintendent ADVOCATE: Where did you grow up? Have you always lived in South Georgia? REV. BASS: I was born in Athens, Ala. My father was from St. Cloud/Kissimmee, Fla., and my mother was from Athens, Ala. At childbirth I was given to my grandparents until the age of nine because my father was in the war and contracted tuberculosis and came back and gave it to my mother. So at birth I was given to my grandparents, and I lived with them on their farm in a little place called Tanner, which is between Athens and Decatur, Ala. ADVOCATE: Tell us about your family. REV. BASS: My wife is Jane Ellen, and we?ve been married 40 years in July (our anniversary is July 30). We have 10 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and four children living. My son is in Acworth, Ga.; my youngest daughter is in Roanoke, Ala., my middle daughter is in Nashville, Tenn.; and my oldest daughter lives in Athens, Ala. We have lost two children, one when we were in Jesup and one while we were in Cairo. We?ve also lost two sons-in-law and my son was shot and paralyzed in 1995. I have been through a lot in life. ADVOCATE: Tragedy and heartache have been a part of your life since you were a young boy. How has God pulled you through? REV. BASS: My faith in God is what has pulled me through. I have a deep faith. My biggest faith is that I believe that God will always be with us, even in the difficult times as well as the good times. You need to enjoy God at that moment, for that day, because you never know what?s going to happen tomorrow. So my faith journey is this ? the just shall live by faith. We have to live by faith. We are the just; we?re the just people of God ? we?re justified through Christ. ADVOCATE: What?s your faith journey? Did you grow up in the church? REV. BASS: Even as a young boy in Vacation Bible School I wanted to serve God; I always wanted to serve God. At the age of 12 or 13 I was baptized in a Baptist church, and at that baptism I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior. My parents died when I was 19 and 21 years old, and I was 23 when my grandmother who I lived with died. So during that time, from when I was 19 to about when I was 27, I didn?t go to church and I was trying to escape through some drugs, pills mostly, and alcohol, but I knew about God and wanted to serve God, and it hit me one day that I needed to rededicate my life to Christ, and that?s when I started, at the age of 27. I entered the ministry at the age of 30, and my first appointment was in North Alabama. When I realized that I had messed up my life I told God that I?d do anything He wanted me to do and that?s how I ended up in pastoral ministry. I was willing to serve Him, and I wanted to do anything that He wanted me to do, but I didn?t realize what I was praying! The Lord kept opening doors for me to go into pastoral ministry, so I have been in it for 33 years now. ADVOCATE: How did you get started in ministry? REV. BASS: I served in the North Alabama Conference for 11 years. While I was serving in the North Alabama Conference I was in school at Emory University. I went back to school at the age of 30. I worked at Monsanto Chemical Company for 13 years in Decatur, Ala. But as a young boy, I grew up in the church. I grew up a Methodist and was given a Bible at Vacation Bible School at the age of nine, and it was one of the highlights of my life, to have a Bible. I started college at a junior college where I played basketball, and then went on to Birmingham Southern. I did my undergraduate work at Birmingham Southern, and from there I went on to Emory. At Emory, some of the South Georgia United Methodist pastors were recruiting people to come to South Georgia, and that?s how I got here. My father was in St. Cloud, my family was in Alabama, and South Georgia was in between. I started out in the Valdosta District in a little place called Doerun, and then went to Alamo, and then moved from Alamo to Alma, and then I served College Place in Brunswick. From College Place I went to Blakely and then went to Jesup, Vidalia and Cairo. ADVOCATE: How did you find out that you had been appointed to be a District Superintendent? Did you get a call from Bishop King? What was your reaction? REV. BASS: Bishop King called me on a Sunday night about 10:30, and I was totally surprised; I didn?t know anything about it. ADVOCATE: What are your visions, goals and hopes for the district? REV. BASS: The vision and goal I?ve always had for the churches I?ve served, wherever I go, is to build the kingdom within the kingdom. And within that kingdom you can reach out. If the church is healthy the church will bring people in. My goal has always been to rebuild; if I rebuild a church, or a district, then they?re going to renew themselves. My goal is to love the people, to share my faith with the people, and to help them to be encouraged to do the same thing that I?ve done ? to press on and not give up. ADVOCATE: What?s one challenge you see facing the Conference or District? REV. BASS: The challenge, for me, is to realize that I?m in a role of trying to encourage the churches as well as the preachers. I?ve got to readjust my mindset and realize that I?m going to be in the role of supervising people; I?m going to have to do the work of the kingdom in a role that?s totally different than being a local pastor. I?m going to have to minister to the local pastors as well as to the local churches, but I feel like if I minister to them and help them, then they?ll be the ones that?ll help the churches. This will be a larger flock in a larger setting; it?s a great opportunity to build the kingdom in a larger place. The Valdosta District has more than 14,000 members; that?s just a larger family (than I?m used to). ADVOCATE: What?s one thing that most excites you about the Valdosta District or the South Georgia Conference? REV. BASS: I am excited and enthused about this. Even though I know there are probably some others who are more qualified than I, I am willing to give it my best and say that we can all do this together. We?re going to make mistakes, and I?m going to make mistakes, but there is a time for change in life and there has been a change; with six new district superintendents there has been a tremendous change. I think the Valdosta District is a wonderful district; it?s a growing area and I feel like the opportunity for growth is really there. ADVOCATE: What do you like best about serving in the South Georgia Conference? REV. BASS: The South Georgia Conference received me well when I transferred from North Alabama, and they have been good to me and they have loved me. It?s a great place to serve; I like the area, I like the lay of the land and I like the people. It?s just a great place to live. ADVOCATE: How do you, in the midst of your busy schedule and your traveling, make time for your quiet time, prayer, and Bible study? REV. BASS: I set aside time every day for Bible study and prayer, but in my traveling is when I pray a lot. I pray a lot as I travel. I pray all the time, really. Traveling, though, is just a good time for me to just be with God ? unless someone calls me! ADVOCATE: What do you like to do in your free time? What are your hobbies and interests? REV. BASS: I play a little bit of golf, I love to fish, and we also go to the beach. I give my wife time just for her, and she likes the beach. ADVOCATE: What?s one fact about you that most people don?t know? REV. BASS: When I first came in this conference I served two years at Doerun in the Valdosta District and now I?m going to end my ministry in the Valdosta District. I am really excited about serving in the Valdosta District. I think it?s a really great place to be. It?s a great opportunity, it really is. | Bass, Henry Charlie (I571)

| 2978 | The Springs Funeral Services ? North Austin Bluffs ? 31 October 2025 Robert ?Bob? Bass Robert "Bob" Bass, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, passed away on October 28, 2025, at the age of 71. He was born on November 18, 1953, in Ventura, California, to Don and Viva Bass. Bob is preceded in death by his father Don Bass, his brother Donald Bass, and his beloved daughter Stephanie Bass. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Kimberly "Kim" Bass; daughter Christina "Christie" Bass; mother Viva Bass; sister Heather Bass (Steven Usnick); and brothers Mike Bass (Annette), Tim Bass (the late Carie), and James Bass. Bob earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from the University of Missouri?Rolla and spent his career as a civil engineer specializing in dams, a job that he often enjoyed describing, with a smile, as being a "damn safety engineer." While living in Colorado Springs, Bob met Kim Wolfe through First Presbyterian Church, where their shared faith and sense of adventure brought them together. They were married on January 16, 1988, and built a life rooted in love, humor, and service. Bob enjoyed participating in mission trips to Juarez, Mexico, with the church, where he forged meaningful friendships and helped improve the lives of others. Bob and Kim welcomed their first daughter, Stephanie, on June 11, 1989, in Colorado Springs, and their second daughter, Christie, on December 2, 1991, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. After enduring the heartbreaking loss of Stephanie in 2003, Bob faced life's challenges with quiet strength and deep compassion, cherishing every moment with family and friends. Music was one of Bob's lifelong passions. He shared his musical talents in church handbell choirs and playing impressive handbell solos. He passed on his love of music to both his daughters. He took immense pride in listening to Christie's musical performances throughout her studies and with the Pikes Peak Philharmonic. He loved to play the oboe and was able to pick the instrument up again during his final weeks for comfort. Bob was equally at home in nature as he was in the concert hall. He loved hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, cycling, skiing, and birdwatching, always equipped with his trademark hat and sunglasses along with a pair of binoculars or camera. His keen eye for beauty extended to photography, where he captured both the majesty of nature and the charm of everyday details, sharing his work with others through the Photocrowd community. At home, Bob delighted in baking scones and banana bread, preparing hearty brunches, and entertaining family with humor and warmth. He and his family shared a love of travel, exploring national parks, cities, and countries around the world together. Bob had a deep love for his extended shoal of Bass. He also felt deeply embraced by his wife's family, the Wolfe pack. He treasured the inclusion, love, and joy family brought to his life. He cherished his connections with his in-laws, nieces, nephews, and their children, always eager to share laughter, stories, and encouragement. Family gatherings were a source of great happiness and belonging for him. Bob will be remembered for his intelligence, wit, gentle spirit, and deep appreciation for life's simple joys; a good laugh, a good piece of music, and a beautiful view. In honor of Bob's lifelong love of music, donations may be made to the Pikes Peak Philharmonic in Colorado Springs at pikespeakphil.org. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. | Bass, Robert Lawson (I2886)

| 2984 | The Sumner County Standard, Wellington, Kansas, Thursday, 28 December 1893 Found Dead Thos. E. Bass, a Resident of Rosedale, the Victim of Heart Disease A man named Thos. Bass, whose home was in southeast part of Rosedale, met his death by heart disease on the farm of Samuel Fox, about three miles southeast of Wellington, early yesterday afternoon. He had a wagon and team and drove out to get a load of straw, following the example of a number of persons who are in the habit of buying straw, hauling it into town and selling it again on the street at and advanced price. Mr. Fox showed him the straw and left him to load it on the wagon, while he cut some corn some distance away. About half an hour afterward he spoke to Bass across the field and after speaking several times and receiving no reply, went over to the straw stack and found Bass lying down near it. An examination revealed the fact that he was dead and had evidently died of heart disease. Mr. Fox came to town and the county attorney, C.J. Garver, was notified. He did not think it necessary that an inquest should be held on the body of the deceased, the cost being considerable and there being no evidence to show that it was other than a case of failure of the heart to perform its functions. An undertaker went out and brought in the body, which was taken to his late home. When Bass was left by Mr. Fox he was engaged in forking the straw from the outside of an old stack, to throw away the straw which had been spoiled by exposure to the weather. He had cleared away, also, a place to drive his team close to the stack, and his body was found on this cleared space, the pitchfork under him, his face resting on the ground. He had not loaded any of the straw. He was about 51 years old and leaves a wife and four children, the oldest child being about twelve years of age and the youngest but three months. The funeral service was held in the Christian church at 3 o?clock this afternoon, Elder Martin preaching the sermon, interment being made in Prairie Lawn cemetery. 1850 Federal Census of District #21, Iroquois County, Illinois (April 23, 1850) Thomas R.

| 2986 | The Sun Herald, Mississippi, 2019 Marguerite Stephanie Welch Bass (Picture included) 1934 ? 2019 Long Beach Marguerite Stephanie Welch Bass, 84, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, June 15, 2019. Stephanie was born August 5, 1934 in Laurel, Mississippi to Robert Brewer "Boley" Welch and Marguerite Stephens Welch, who preceded her in death. She has also been preceded in death by her loving husband of 58 years, Robert Earl "Bobby" Bass, Sr., her sister, Nancy Welch Spayde, brother, James William "Bill" Welch, sister-in-law, Norma Reinike "Pum" Welch, brother-in-law, Phillip Joseph "JP" Bass, and sister-in-law, Norma Randolph Bass. She is survived by her five sons, Robert Jr. (Becky), David (Joretta), John (Sharon), Steve (Susan), and Jim; grandchildren, Robert III (Laura), Stephanie (Robert), Brent (Rye-Leigh), Phillip, Kyle, Tanner, Derek, and Ryan (Jenna); and great-grandchildren Ella, Dallas, Charlotte, Nolan, Autumn, and Sawyer; grandpup Libby, and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Stephanie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her world centered around her family and she adopted a very broad definition of the term throughout her life, adding many more "sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters" along the way. Stephanie thoroughly enjoyed people and anyone entering her world was assured of a deep and devoted relationship. She was a caregiver to many people, often taking shut-in friends and relatives on shopping outings or rides for the pleasure of their company. She was a shark-like bridge player who attained Life Master status over 20 years ago. The game was a true outlet for her, allowing her to meet many new friends and exercise her keen mind. Stephanie was the unofficial historian of the family, remembering people, dates, and birthdates without any reference to notes. She retired from Lamar Advertising as Office Manager in the company's Gulfport office in 1996, starting with the company when it was Crawford Advertising, owned by the Shannon Waller family. In retirement, she and Bobby travelled through most of the United States and to many parts of Canada, and they were able to take a very memorable trip to Ireland as well. Stephanie was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Long Beach for over 60 years. She became a Catholic as a convert in her 20s, and while she understood God is not Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, or any other particular religion, she found her pathway to God and Jesus Christ through her Catholic faith. She was an optimist, a mother confessor, and a wonderful, kind, gracious person covered with strength and dignity. She will be missed. Her family would like to thank the many caregivers who made final months of her life so much more comfortable, Pam Fortner, Christi Cuevas, Tammie Ladner, Doug Bozlee, and Cindy Reeder of Deaconess Home Health and Shannon Shorey and Regina of Deaconess Hospice Care, and the physicians, nurses, and technicians of Memorial Hospital, including Dr. Allison Wall, Dr. Stephanie Fusell, Dr. Azar, nurses Julie, Haley, Christina, Elise, Jamie, Tamara, Amanda, and April, and technicians Millie, Tykina, and Reva. Visitation will be Thursday, June 20, 2019, from 10 am ? 12 noon at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 720 E Beach Blvd, Long Beach. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 12 noon in the church. She will be buried in Long Beach Cemetery alongside her husband. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in her honor with the American Cancer Society.

| 2989 | The Sydney Morning Herald, Friday, March 6, 1936 Deaths BASSETT ? March 5, 1936, at a private hospital, Chatswood, Thomas Ernest Bassett, of Wellington, N.S.W., dearly loved husband of Gladys and father of Paul, aged 55 years. Requiescat in pace. BASSETT ? March 5, 1936, at a private hospital, CHatswood, Thomas Ernest Bassett, of Wellington, N.S.W., beloved father of Ella, Vivian (Tom), Essie, William, Neville, Mavis, and Joyce, aged 55 years. Requiescat in pace. Wellington Times, Monday, March 9, 1936 Obituary Ald. Thomas Ernest Bassett The death of Ald. Thomas Ernest Bassett, which took place at about noon on Thursday last at a private hospital in Chatswood, although not altogether unexpected, caused quite a shock to his legion of friends throughout the west. The late Mr. Bassett, who was born in the Madgee district 56 years ago, came to Wellington about 22 years ago, and opened up in business as tobacconist and billiard saloon which premises he occupied up to the time he went away from here about five weeks ago. Prior to that time none of his friends thought that there was anything wrong with him, as he looked a fresh and healthy man. However, his complaint struck him very quickly and he was given three months leave of absence from the Municipal Council. That was really the first intimation that there was anything seriously wrong with him. He left Wellington and saw a specialist, and then entered a private hospital at North Sydney. From the time of his entry it was found that it was a hopeless case, and he soon grew week from the malady he was suffering from, and which was sapping his strength away each day, and the bews that was received in Wellington was not at all encouraging. His family were summoned to his bedside, and all were present when death took place at the hour stated, thus ending the suffering which he had gone through for the past few weeks. Tom, as we was familiarly known to his legion of friends in the West, for he had visited every nook and corner of it, had followed the occupation of bookmaker, and he fielded on every course in the west, where he was held in the highest regard for his honesty and integrity. His cheerful disposition and cheery smile made him a great favorite in his calling as a bookmaker. He not only took a keen interest in racing, but in all kinds of outdoor sport he was prominent. For years he closely associated himself with cricket, and was responsible for getting together various teams which took part in the competitions, often filling a vacant place himself in the team if anyone was absent. It was the same with League football. In the old days when the games were played on the old Junction Park he took a very keen interest in the code and was always ready to assist the game in any way he could. He was also closely associated with the Wellington Bowling Club, of which he has been a member for many years. He was always regarded as a good player, and took part in many of the A grade pennant games for a number of years. The flag at the Club House was flow at half-mast when the news of his death was received here. He was also a good public spirited man, ever ready to help the xxx along whenever he had the opportunity. At the last general election of aldermen he was one of the only batch to gain the favour of the ratepayers, and during his stay in the Council he was always fearless yet outspoken in his remarks, his idea being to do the best for the whole of the ratepayers,, and it was through his energies? that the present traffic and parking regulations were enforced in this town. By the death of Mr. Bassett the town has lost a fine citizen and his wife and children a devoted husband and father, and the sympathy of all will go out to them in their great sorrow. He was twice married, the children by his first wife being Ella (Mrs. Clive Rotton), Wellington, Essie (Mrs. Leeg) Sydney, Misses Mavis and Joyce, both of Wellington, Vivian (Tom), William and Neville, all of Wellington, his second wife survives him, together with a three year old son Paul. A Requiem Mass was celebrated at Our Lady of Delours Church, Chatswood, on Friday morning, and later on the body was laid to rest in the Catholic portion of the Southern Suburbs Cemetery. | Bassett, Thomas Ernest (I207)

| 2991 | The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday, January 5, 1944 A.W.I. To ?Restore? Business? Private William Ernest Bassett, 32, who was charged at the court-martial yesterday with desertion, from February 27, 1943 to December 27, said he owned a business engaged solely in making tents and canvas equipment for the Army and when he had been called up in August, 1942, he had been given only one day?s notice to adjust his business. The business, which employed 40 people during his period in the Army was practically in chaos. After going a.w.l. and restoring the business he had postponed returning from time to time. The president of the court-martial said that, while not announcing its decision, the Court intended to recommend that Bassett?s story be investigated. If it was found that he was an essential technician engaged in defense contracts, consideration of his discharge from the Army and a remission of his sentence would be recommended. | Bassett, William Ernest (I212)

| 2993 | The Syracuse Standard, Saturday, April 19, 1885 Parley Bassett Death of an Old and Respected Resident of Syracuse Word reached the city last night of the death of Parley Bassett, who was, at the time of his death, at the residence of Stanley Bagg, on the Alvord road, north of the city. Mr. Bassett?s death occurred at 7:30 o?clock last evening. He had been sick since Monday, suffering at first from a severe cold and being prostrated afterward by an attack of eyrsipelas. Prior to Monday of this week Mr. Bassett had been in good health and, although nearly 89 years of age, had no premonitory symptoms of the disease which suddenly ended his life. Mr. Bassett was New Englander, his boyhood home being in Dalton, Mass., where he was born July 6, 1796. About fifty-two years ago he came to this city, where his home has since been. After the opening of the Syracuse & Oswego railroad he was employed by that company in the capacity of freight agent. For many years his home was in Fayette street, in the Seventh ward, and in 1863, when Daniel Bookstaver was mayor, he represented that ward in the Board of Alderman. he also served for a time in the office of city treasurer. Few men had a wider acquaintance with his townsmen than did Mr. Bassett, especially during the active years of his life. He was a gentleman who made friends readily and who attached to himself all who came into business or social relations with him. All respected him and his unquestioned probity was recognized wherever he was known. In the prime of life he was a man of great energy in business affairs, and when he grew to be a hale old gentleman his neighbors regarded him with a sentiment akin to affections. During all his life Mr. Bassett was an ardent Democrat. He was a member of the Unitarian church from the time when that denomination established itself in this city. Mr. Bassett?s venerable wife died a few months ago. His children are Mrs. Dr. Bartlett of Meridian, Mrs. Stanley Bagg and Mrs. Robert H. Davis of this city. 1850 Federal Census of Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York Parley Bassett 55 M Massachusetts RR xxxx Asenath 45 F New York Amanda 18 F New York Amelia 16 F New York Mary A. 8 F New York Lucretia 5 F New York 1880 Federal Census of 7th Ward, Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York Parley Bassett 84 M MA MA MA Head Aseneth 74 F NY RI VT Wife Keeping House Mary Murphy 25 F IR IR IR Other Bessie Holyoke 24 F NY MA NY Niece | Bassett, Parley (I03081)

February 14, 2019 Warner Robins, Georgia- Sharon Kay Worley, 71, went to be with her Lord and Savior on the afternoon of Thursday, February 14, 2019. She passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family. Sharon was born on February 28, 1947, in Berkley, California. She grew up in several locations due to her father's military service and later her family settled in Bossier City, LA. Sharon earned a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Louisiana Tech University and married the love of her life, Tiron, in 1969. During her husband's military service, Sharon and her family resided in California, Arkansas, Guam, North Dakota, Texas, and Saudi Arabia before settling in Warner Robins, Georgia in 1989. She was a beloved teacher at several schools over the years, including Saudi Arabia International School in Riyadh. She retired from Sacred Heart Catholic School in Warner Robins, GA after 25 years of service and is remembered fondly by the many students she influenced over the years. Sharon was a faithful member of Shirley Hills Baptist Church where she enjoyed being a member of Betty's Bunch Sunday School Class. Some of her pastimes included lunches with her "Over 70's Club," music and reading, but spending time with her family gave her the most joy. Sharon was always cheerful, supportive, accepting and abundant with patience. She had a generous heart and that will forever be treasured and remembered by all who knew her. Sharon was preceded in death by her husband, Tiron Worley; her daughter, Ashley Worley; her mother, Lois Bassett and her father, Roy Bassett. She is survived by her daughters, Kimberley D.
