| 3315 | Denison Review, 12 Feb 1896, Obituary We subjoin a concise biography of Mr. N. Richards, who lived for thirty years in Crawford County and who was faithful Christian and honorable citizen. The Methodist church edifice was crowded with friends who came to testify their appreciation and condolence by their presence. Rev. R. Venting, of the Baptist church, preached an appropriate discourse. As will be seen Mr. Richard's army record is eminently honorable. Newton Richards was born near Akron, Ohio, May 31, 1836. He was educated at Hiram College where he was a classmate of James A. Garfield, who afterwards became the honored president of the United States. He beca Christian when 17 years of age, was baptized and united with the church, the "Disciples of Christ". Came to Winneshike county, Iowa in 1855. Was married in 1859 to Miss Mormetta Webster; in 1862 enlisted in the 38th Iowa infantry. His wife died of consumption shortly after his enlistment. He served in the army for three years and for gallant conduct and bravery was, before Vicksburg, twice promoted in rapid succession. He had been on September 14, 1862 promoted to 1st Sergeant; but at Vicksburg in the midst of that terrific siege, he was promoted June 7, 1862 to 2nd lieutenant and scarcely more than a month later, on the 10th of July following, he was raised to 1st lieutenant which office he held when honorably discharged from his country's service. He had charge of the government supplies and was on the general staff. In 1862, during the month of August, while encamped at Fort Atkinson, a flag was presented by the ladies to Co. E. 38th Iowa Infantry. Of this flag now draped upon his casket, Bro. Richards was made by the company the custodian. Thirty-three years ago he received this emblem of our country, this tribute to the gallantry of his company, this expression of the esteem of his comrades into his custody, today it lies upon his bier. Today it is a mute memento of the years of trial and patriotism; as also a witness of his faithfulness to devotion; for to no other care would this banner have been conferred. He came to Crawford county in 1866 and has, with the exception of a few intervals, been ever since a resident. He soon after united with the Baptist church of Denison. He married January 17, 1867, Ellen Bassett Purdy, widow of John Purdy. Five children were born to them, of which three died in childhood. Two daughters and a living wife remain to mourn his loss. He was a faithful church member, a deacon, many times a superintendant of Sunday school; in Denison, Dow City, South Dakota and Arion. He was mayor of the town of Arion which he had done perhaps more than any other one person to establish and benefit. He died at his home in Arion, February 7th, 1896 being 59 years, 8 months and 7 days old, in full hope and in joyful anticipation of a glorious immortality. | Richards, Newton (I09066)

| 3326 | 485 Broadway, New York, Oct 4th, 1850 Mr. Alfred H. Bassett Pittsfield, Mass. My dear Sir, enclosed you will find Genealogy of the Bassett family as I have it up to the year 1841. I regret that I cannot give it to you in better shape, but have been so busy since I saw you that I could hardly get a moment's time. I hope before many months to be able to trace out some other branches & to have it much more complete. You will see by referring back that I am Jo Henry, who was a son of Francis, who was a son of Lot, who was a son of Elisha, who was a son of William who was a son of William. Consequently my nephews can trace their ancestors back seven generations. My grandfather Lot Bassett was born in Dennis, Mass. Jany 22, 1755. He was a soldier of the revolution & three years in the service. He purchased a farm in Ashfield in 1780. He married Deborah Howes of Dennis Jany 31, 1782 and moved at once to Ashfield with his wife & worldly goods in an ox car They raised a family of ten children and all lived to the age of manhood. Three died in the prime of life - the other seven lived to a good old age & only two of them now living. His son William lived & died in Hawley. Thomas lived & died in Plainfield, . My father Francis as well as the other brothers & sisters all settled in Ashfield, where my father died May 18, 1876. Aged 80 years and 4 days. My mother and her nine children are all living as you will see by referring to the record. My mother has seventeen grandchildren and four great grandchildren living. I think that my grandfather Lot and his brother Elisha (who also lived and died in Ashfield) were undoubtedly your father's uncles. While ransacking the garret in my grandfather's old house last summer I found a Boston paper of the year 1784 with my great grandfather's name "Capt. Elisha Bassett of Yarmouth" distinctly written upon it. My sister Julia Ann married Henry S. Ramsey of Ashfield June 25, 1856. They still reside there and have no children. My brother Francis Jr. married Cordelia A. Swift of Ashfield June 28, 1849. They have four children and three grandchildren. The said Cordelia died Nov. 4, 1867. Francis Jr. and his children all reside in Brooklyn. My sister Mehetabel married Chauncey Bryant of Greenfield July 8, 1852. They still reside in Greenfield. They have one child and one grandchild. My sister Orvilla married Joseph Hall of Ashfield Nov. 18, 1856 and resides in Hartford, Conn. They have one son. John Henry married Sylvia H. Longley of Hawley Sept.8, 1859. They reside in New York City and have no children. Emily Celestia married Thomas L. Eldridge of Hawley Oct 30, 1856. They reside in Hawley and have four children. Charles Ralph married Elvira Rogers of Ballston, NY Sept. 17, 1860. They reside at Watertown, NY and have five children. Ann Eliza married Levi Ford of Ashfield May 11, 1870. They reside in Greenfield and have no children. Rosalind Sarah married Raph H. Ramey of Ashfield in 1868. He died in Boston Oct 30, 1876. She resides in Ashfield and has two children. I might go on for hours giving names of my nephews and nieces, children of your cousins but I fear I have wearied you alread If I get any information, ancient and interesting, in the future, I will give it to you. After you have talked with your father in regard to this I would like to know from which branch you sprang. Yours very Tru John Henry Basse | Bassett, John Henry (I05742)

| 3328 | A Brief Allen Family History Douglass and Phoebe Conger came to Michigan from Otsego, New York accompanied by his brother. When near Monroe, Michigan the brother and family went south to Ohio. While Douglass and his family came on into Michigan and settled on a farm in Armada Twp, Macomb Co. Michigan. Most of their children were born there. Douglass died without ever havi heard from his brother again. Hezeakiah the second eldest son, while still in his teens, took over the burden of caring for the mother and younger children. After the children were out on their own, the old farm was broken up and Phoebe went to live with her daughter Harriet at the Sweets Hotel at Sweets Corner and there she passed away at the age of 78 years and 11 month Taken as a whole the family was strong and robust, tall of stature, and light complexioned. They were ready to lend a hand to anyone in need, were strictly temperate and always wanted to see fair play. How excludingly grateful we of this generation should be to have such wonderful memories of these loved ones to look upon and may each succeeding generation grow to be better, more capable and more useful in this God's great family on earth. Douglass and Phoebe had 10 children: (Roy) Roswell; Sylvester D.; Hezekiah; Jesse; Alexander C.; Harriet F.; Jesse C.; Darius; Phoebe M. and Clarissa. | Allen, Douglass (I08528)

| 3329 | A Modern History of New Haven and Eastern New Haven Coun Volume II (1918) In the death of Samuel Andrew Bassett, New Haven lost one of its valued citizens and representative business men, yet one whose nature was not centered alone upon commercial interests. He found time for the higher things of life and those interests which have cultural value. He was born in the town of Seymour, in New Haven county, Connecticut, September 1, 1833, and was a descendant of an old and prominent New England family. His father, Samu Bassett, also a native of Connecticut, was a paper manufacturer of what was then known as Humphreysville, now Seymour, and at that place spent practically his entire life. He wedded Mary Andrew, who was also a resident of Seymour. Samuel Andrew Bassett acquired his early education in the Glendenning Academy at Seymour and afterward attended the William H. Russell Milita School at New Haven, from which he was graduated. He was first employed in his father's paper factory and after working there for a few years went to New Milford, where he became a clerk in the store of A. W. Mygatt. After a brief period he removed to New Haven and found a position in the shoe store of Bristol & Hall, shoe manufacturers and dealers. When the business was sold out to W.B. Fenn, Mr. Bassett remained with the house and when it became known as the New Haven Shoe Company, he became one of the stock holders and was quite active in the management of the business. He was associated with the sh trade for over a half century and was very active in the control and direction of the store with which he was connected. He was a thoroughgoing business man, noted for his honorable dealings and his spirit of enterprise. No one ever questioned the reliability of his methods, for integrity was synonymous with his name. Mr. Bassett was much devoted to his home and family. In Christchurch, on the 24th day of January, 1865, the Rev. Joseph Brewster performed the wedding ceremony that united the destinies of Samuel Andrew Bassett and Miss Sophia Phillips, of New Haven, a daughter of Thomas and Sophia (Humphre Phillips, the former a well known resident of this city. Mrs. Bassett is now residing on Edgewood avenue and has many friends in New Haven, who know her as a lady of culture and refined taste, a devoted wife and mother. She w member of Christ Episcopal church for a number of years, later transferring her membership to Trinity Episcopal church. By the marriage there were two children. The daughter, Mary Elizabeth, became the wife of Joseph Leon Langbank and now resides with her mother. Thomas Andrew was married October 30, 1895, to Natalie Wilson, of Bridgeport, and they became the parents of two children, John Humphrey Phillips and Sophie Louise Bassett, but the latter died young. Thomas Andrew Bassett passed away October 6, 190 The death of Samuel A. Bassett occurred at his home on High street in New Haven, August 1, 1906, when he was approaching the seventy-third milestone on life's journey. He was a citizen of the highest type, a man of sterling character and actuated in all that he did by a stalwart Christian spirit. He held membership, first, in Christ Episcopal church and, later, in Trini church, of which he was communicant for many years, and he also belonged to Brooks Club of Trinity church, which was named in honor of Bishop Phill Brooks. He belonged to Wooster Lodge, A.F & A.M., of New Haven, and also to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Seymour. In politics he was an ardent republican but not an office seeker. He was on the contrary a man of domestic taste, devoted to his home and family and finding his greatest happiness at his own fireside. He was also a lover of nature and fond of things beautiful. He enjoyed yachting and fishing, and was a great lover of the arts. He was also much interested in music, possessed a splendid voice and for many years was a member of Christ Church Choir. He also belonged to the Mendelsohn and Gounod Societies, excellent choral organizations of New Haven, and he was one of the organizers of the Apollo Club, a well known musical male club of New Haven. He thus did much to further the interests which removed man from the sordidness that entire concentration upon business often brings and he did much to further an interest in those lines which uplift the individual and bring a breadth of thought, interest and purpose. He stood as a high type of American manhood and chivalry, and his was the nobility of a refined nature and of Christian character. | Bassett, Samuel Andrew (I10693)

| 3330 | A.J. Bassett A.J. Bassett, president and treasurer of the Grand Crossing Tack Company, was born in Taunton, Massachusetts, in 1852, and was educated in his native town. In 1872 he settled in Chicago as agent for the Taunton Tack Company, and remained in their employ until 1876 when he became connected with the Chicago Tack Company as commercial manager. This he continued until 1883, when the Grand Crossing Tack Company was organized, of which he is a co- partner. 1880 Federal Census of Hyde Park, Cook County, Illinois (22 Jun 1880) Arthur J. Bassett M MA MA MA Head Theo E. F NY ST EN Wife Sarah Gray F IL IL IL Servant The Iron Age, May 8, 1902 A.J. Bassett The death of A.J. Bassett, formerly treasurer of the Grand Crossing Tack Company of Chicago, will be deplored by a wide circle of personal and business friends. Mr. Bassett died April 25, after an illness of about two years. He was better known to the trade through his long connection with the Grand Crossing Tack Company than through any other of his business relations. He removed to Chicago about 1870 to assume the duties of Western sales agent for the Taunton Tack Company. Some time afterward he engaged with the Chicago Tack Company, of which his father, Orrin N. Bassett, was proprietor. In connection with the Messrs. Hutchinson, the present proprietors of the Grand Crossing Tack Company, in 1883 he established the business of that now well-known company. They started in a very modest way, manufacturing Tacks and small Nails on a limited scale, and gradually adding to their facilities until in the course of time they developed into manufacturers of Wire Rods, Wire Nails and other Wire products, at the same time continuing their original business of manufacturing Tacks. In the development of this business, Mr. Bassett took a very important part, his thorough knowledge of the Nail trade being of very great value in establishing the commercial relations of the company. His devotion to his duties in the course of time resulted in his health being undermined, and about two years since he was compelled to retire from business activity. Mr. Bassett was a man of charming personality, possessing talents which gave him an exceptionally high social standing, and his enforced retirement from business was accompanied by unusual expressions of regret from those with whom he had come in contact. | Bassett, Arthur Judson (I09737)

| 3341 | ARKANSAS TRAVERLERS (SOURCE UNKNOWN) A highly unlikely partnership began in Hot Springs, Arkansas, on September 21, 1871, when Amos Herbert Bassett took Mary Eliza Chamberlin Miller to be his bride. The incongruity of their marriage is equalled only by the incongruity of their later migration to a Western wilderness where Herbert was to endure manfully his distaste for pioneer life, and his wife, joyfully accepting that life, was to become known as "head of the Bassett gang Herb was born on July 31, 1834, in Brownsville, Jefferson County, New York, where his forebears had lived for generations. At some time in his younger years the family moved to Sweetwater, Menard County, Illinois. In 1862 he was twenty-nine years old, living on the family farm and teaching school in the winter, when he responded to President Lincoln's call for thirty thousand volunteers from the President's home state. Private Herbert Bassett served in Company K of the 106th Regiment of "Lincoln's Brigade." Since he was a musician, he was assigned to the company band with the official title of Drummer. While in the Army, Herb was beset by the ill health which later caused him to move west. In 1863, barely a year after his enlistment, he suffered from what Army records call a "debility" and was sent home on sick furlough for a month or so. At the end of the war Herb, still a private, was mustered out at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and chose to stay in that part of the country, very possibly because he had found a Southern branch of his family livi there. The name of Bassett is found in Arkansas county records as far back as 1833. This kinship with an old pioneer family evidently smoothed his way despite his being a Yankee, for he eventually became Clerk of the Court, a respected and even powerful position in the communities of the last century. Herb has been described as a "little old maid of a man". He was only five or six inches over five feet tall, and his legs seemed too short for his torso. Aside from that he was handsome, with thick and curly dark hair, strong features, and well-set blue eyes. Herb's education was better than average and he was a competent musician on both piano and violin. He was deeply religious but not puritanical; although strongly disapproving of tobacco and alcohol, he enjoyed dancing and playing cards, if no money changed hands. He was gentle, kind and good-humored, and despised arguments. Unfortunately, considering the life which lay ahead of him, he appears to have been a passive man with no qualities of leadership. Mary Eliza (she preferred to be called Elizabeth) had been born in Hot Springs County on August 25, 1855. She was a spirited girl and so voluble a conversationalist that the Utes were later to call her "the Magpie". According to contemporary descriptions, she had the graciousness that marks a Southern gentlewoman, and an inborn magnetism. With this magnetism, an iron will, strong ambition, and indomitable determination to get her way, she controlled people around her by so intriguing their imaginations that they willing followed her. She was normally affable and serene, but when she lost her temper she was violent. Elizabeth and her sister were very young when their parents died, and the girls were raised by their maternal grandfather, Judge Crawford Miller, a breeder of thoroughbred horses. Surprisingly, they were raised with his name. This suggests that something more than an ordinary tragedy may have caused their parent's death. Judge Miller had come from around Newark, Virginia (Elizabeth was always proud of being from one of Virginia's "First Families"), and it is curious that a lineage-conscious Southerner would deprive his grand- daughters of their father's name. Elizabeth's daughter Josie was later to tell a grandchild that there was a suicide in each generation of the family. Josie gave no details, but she may have been referring to old and better-forgotten violence,. Elizabeth herself possessed qualities which, given bad fortune, could have led her to disaster. But her fortune was good - she married Herb Bassett, who was always to be her balance wheel, even when he could not control her. If there is a mystery surrounding Elizabeth's parents, there is an equal mystery surrounding her marriage to Herb. Why would the attractive teenage daughter of a well-to-do family marry a graying, middle-aged man? Perhaps the orphaned girl saw in this kindly and gentle man the father she had never known, although that answer seems rather superficial for someone as complicated as Elizabeth. Mary Eliza, herself better-educated than many women of the time, would have been contemptous of a very commonly held opinion that an educated female ran the risk of a withered uterus if uncommon strain were put on her brain. She would have been in complete sympathy with the growing tide of feminism and of women's demands for educational opportunity and equal treatment under the law. At the same time, she was always a lady with strict ideas of propriety, and would have been completely out of sympathy with Victoria Woodhull, who was espousing "free love" on the lecture platforms in the east, and with Amelia Bloomer, who had urged women to replace their petticoats with pant A deeper look at Herb shows a man who was progressive and liberal for his time. In later years, for example, he considered his daughters' education as important as his sons'. Herb must have reflected Elizabeth's own ideas - progressive, but conventionally so. She would have felt safe with him, knowing he would treat her as a person of intelligence, despite her womanhood. Moreover, she could never tolerate domination. Herb's very passivity and lack of force may have attracted her. When they married, Herb was thirty-seven years old; Elizabeth had just turned sixteen. Judging by reports of their years, it was a love match on both sides, which bore up well even under any painful stresses caused by the differences of character. They settled down in Hot Springs to the life typical of a well-bred couple in comfortable circumstances. In 1874, three and a half years after their marriage, their daughter Josephine (Josie) was born. Less than two years later Elizabeth delivered their first son, to whom they gave the family name of Samuel. Life could have continued in a placid routine except that Herb's health had seriously deteriorated in Arkansas, where the summers are humid and the winters cold but no less humid. Herb described his physical condition when he applied for an Army pension: "Was treated in Arkansas 20 years ago for liver and heart trouble - h chills and fever frequently for several years after the war was over - was treated by Dr. Henry C. Baker who stated that my liver was in very bad condition - that the chills and fever that I had were very hard to control. While he was treating me I had a very hard chill which threatened congestion and he advised me to leave there at once. I sold out and came here [Brown's Park] in April 1878. " In addition to his "debility", which was probably malarial, Herb was asthmatic. The doctors of those times could offer little help to tuberculous or asthmatic patients except to prescribe a change of climate. It is said that half the people in early Colorado had come there because of "pulmonary afflictions" that might benefit from the dry mountain ai As if Herb's chills, fever and attacks of asthma were not enough to distrub the couple's tranquillity, in 1874, after six years as Clerk of the Court, he lost his job, possibly because of a change in political clima occurring at the end of postwar Reconstruction in Arkansas. At the time they made their decision to migrate to the west in 1877, Herb may have realized that his future in Arkansas could never hold more than an obscure clerical job or, even worse, working on Judge Miller's horse farm. Elizabeth, with h drive and ambition, may have urged the migration. At the least she would have cooperated enthusiastically in this search for better fortun It would seem that they had no firm plan in mind when they boarded the train that would take them west. Family tradition says that their destination was California (another popular haven for asthmatics) but it is very probable that when they left Arkansas they were still not sure where their home was to be. In any event, they broke their journey at Green River City, Wyoming, for a reunion with Herb's younger half-brother, Sam Bassett, who lived about eighty miles to the south over the Utah line in a place called Brown's Hol Sam Bassett had been a teenager when he left the family home in Illinois. He had wandered the west from California back to the Dakotas as a miner, prospector, guide for travelers, and scout for General Miles of the Union Army. In 1852 he had done some prospecting in Brown's Hole and had liked it well enough that he returned in 1854 to make it his headquarters between wanderings. Brown's Hole had been a rendezvous in the 1830s for the fur trappers. For a time there was small trading post there named Fort Davy Crockett (nickname "Fort Misery"), but it vanished when the scarcity of game, as well as the fall from fashion of beaver hats, made trapping unprofitable. When Sam Bassett chose it as his headquarters, he became one of the first white men to live there permanently since the days of that early trading pos Sam Bassett kept a journal during his early days in the west, and its disappearance is a tragedy, judging by the fragment that survived, quoted by Ann Bassett in her memoirs: "Browns Hol, Novermber, the month of Thanksgiving, 1852. Louis [Simmons] and I "down in." Packs off. Mules in lush cured meadow. Spani Joe's trail for travel could not be likened to an up-state high lane for coach-and four. Mountains to the right of us, mountains to the left of us, not in formation but highly mineralized. To the South, a range in incontest beauty of contour, its great stone mouth drinking a river." Herbert was first admitted to the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Quincy, Illinois on 24 Nov 1913 (Home # 10215). He was a soldier from Menard County, Illinois. Herbert was a musician, resident of Sweetwater, mustered into Company K, 106th Illinois Infantry on 18 Sep 1862, mustered out on 12 Jul 1865 as a private. 1870 Federal Census of Rock Park, Hot Springs County, Arkansas (13 Jul 1870) Amos H.
