3353	Bassett, Joseph Claghorn Encyclopedia of Biography For sixty years Joseph Claghorn Bassett was engaged in business in Willimantic, Connecticut, his name being forever perpetuated in Bassett Park, a tract which was converted into a most desirable residence section of Willimantic, and in that city the Bassett block testifies to his public spirit. He lived to the great age of eighty-eight, and although he passed from earthly view a quarter of a century ago, his memory is green in the city he did so much to improve. Joseph C. Bassett was born in Broadalbin, Montgomery County, New York, one of a family of eleven children. He attended the public schools of h section, and being a great reader, he acquired a good education, althou school years soon ended. His first mercantile business was in the stove and hardware line, but quite early in life he engaged in business for himself in Heborn. In a short time, however, he came to Willimantic, Connecticut, where his long and valuable life was largely passed. In Willimantic he formed the partnership, Lord & Bassett, hardware, a firm which continued until Mr. Lord's death. John Wilson took his place in business, and the store was moved from the Hanover to the Tanner block, and from there to the Opera House block. Mr. Bassett finally retired, having been in business for sixty year After his retirement he bought ten acres of suburban property a founded Bassett Park, and erected the first house on the tract for himself. He developed this plot into most desirable building lots for home builders, and within ten years sold every lot. There was an unfailing spring of pure water that Mr. Bassett piped to Bassett Park, half a mile away, and until about 1917 that was the only source of water supply for that section. He erected t Bassett block at the corner of Railroad and Main streets, also the block which Remington, the tailor, occupies, and was one of Willimantic's public-spirited citizens. He moved to Providence for a short time, but returned to Willimantic and there spent his last years. He was well read in the law, and was often called to adjust differences and settle vexed questions. His honor was unquestioned, and his energy and his public spirit kept him in business until eight decades of life had passed before he finally retired from every form of business life. Joseph C. Bassett married Annie Wealthy Hebard, daughter of Guy C. and Fannie (Spafford) Hebard, her father the builder and original proprietor of the Old Hebard Tavern in Willimantic in 1824. (The old tavern is yet standing on Pleasant street.) The old tavern was a very popular place of entertainment in the olden time, its spring dance floor being the first of its kind in Willimantic. The State Militia made the Hebard Tavern their "training day" headquarters, and life was very gay on such days. Guy C. Hebard was the first postmaster of the village, and there he died at the age of fifty. His wife, Fannie, continued the Tavern with the aid of her son-in-law, William L. Tingley, but finally it passed to others. Joseph C. and Annie Wealthy (Hebard) Bassett were the parents of two children: Carleton H., deceased, who married Addie Snow; Helen Frances, born February 4, 1846, in the house in which she now resides, the last survivor of her family, her home, No. 28 Pleasant street, Williamantic.

3360	Biographical and Genealogical History of Wayne, Fayett Union and Franklin Counties, Indiana (1899) David D. Bassett A representative of an honored pioneer family, David D. Bassett has long been identified with the growth and development of this section of Indiana, and with the promotion of its farming interests. He was born in Fairfield township, Franklin county, Indiana, August 31, 1832, a son of Nathaniel and Eliza (Dubois) Bassett, the former a native of Massachusetts, and the latter of New Jersey. Their marriage was celebrated in Indiana, where the father located when a young man. He was one of the pioneers of the state, and prior to his arrival here had spent some time in Cincinnati, whe worked at the brick-mason's trade. He afterward came to Fairfield, Franklin county, where he followed the same pursuit until after his marriage. He then purchased a farm on which a log cabin had been built, while a few acres had been partly cleared. In addition to agricultural pursuits he then carried on brick-laying, and erected some of the best buildings of that day in the surrounding country. He reared his family upon his farm and in his declining days removed to Fairfield, where his death occurred in 1867. His wife afterward made her home with her children, and she died at the residence of her daughter, in Fairfield township, in 1875. They were both consistent members of the Methodist church and were leading advocates of the temperance cause, the father ever admonishing his sons never to take the first drink. The children were Jonathan, now deceased; Ann, who became the wife of B. Gentry, and died in Decatur county; Lydia, who was the wife of J. Lane, and died in Illinois; David D.; Mrs. Caroline Smith, who died in Brookville; Mrs. Martha J. Skinner; and Charles, a stone-mason by trade, now residing at Elwood, Indiana. The last named served throughout the civil war, and now receives a pension on account of injuries sustained. David D. Bassett was reared on the old home farm and for a year after his marriage continued there. He afterward purchased a farm in Blooming Grove township, but subsequently sold it and removed to another farm, upon which he lived three years. He then bought property at Colter's Corners, and engaged in the manufacture of tile for two years, when he turned his attention to the butchering business, which he carried on three years. On the expiration of that period he purchased his present farm, three-fourths of a mile east of the town of Colter's Corners, on which was a small log house of one room. Therein he lived until, as the result of his industry and capable management, he was enabled to erect his present commodious two-story residence. He has also cleared the land, placed many rods of tiling upon it and now has his fa under a high state of cultivation. He has planted a good orchard and set out a fine grove around his house, and now has one of the most attractive and desirable country homes in the locality. A few years after taking up his residence on the farm he built a large tile factory, which he conducted for several years. He then sold out and after two years resumed the butchering business, having a market at his home and also selling to farmers in the neighborhood and at Oxford, from a wagon. He has met with some difficulties in the course of his business career, but through his undaunted energy and perseverance and the assistance of his good wife he has triumphed over all obstacles and is now the possessor of a handsome competenc On the 1st of January, 1856, Mr. Bassett was united in marriage to Miss Matilda C. Fry, a member of an honored pioneer family. She was born January 12, 1836, a daughter of Philip and Catherine (Butler) Fry, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of Indiana. Her father was a son of Henry Fry and came with his parents to the west in 1818, the family settling in Fairfield township, Franklin county, where the father purchased large tracts of land, giving to each of his five children a farm. He built a gristmill on Templeton's creek and successfully conducted his farm and mill. He was a leading member of the United Brethren church and an active factor in securing the erection of the first house of worship of that denomination in the neighborhood. Honest and upright in all things, he lived to a ripe old age and died respected by all who knew him. His children were Simon, who rear family and died in Franklin county; Lewis, who reared a family and died in this county; Lizzie, wife of J. Flint; Philip, father of Mrs. Bassett; Samuel, who reared a family and died in Union county. Philip Fry remained with his parents until his marriage and then settled on land which his father had given him, and upon which he made many excellent improvements. He remained there until his children were grown, when he removed to Colter's Corners, where he and his wife spent their last days. His wife died there August 21, 1887, at the age of eighty-two years, after which Mr. Fry went to live with his daughter, passing away at her home June 14, 1896, in the eighty-eighth year of his age. Both were members of the United Brethren church in early life, but afterward united with the Methodist church and died in that faith. Their children were Henry W., who died at the age of nine years; Joshua, a retired farmer and banker living at Oxford; Matilda C., the wife of our subject; Mary B. Glasner, now deceased; Robert J., who is living with Mrs. Bassett; and Mrs. Nancy K. Beasley, who is living on the old family homestead. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Bassett have been born four children: Jonathan M., who was born October 17, 1856, now resides near Oxford; Emma A., born November 14, 1866, is at home; Mary D., born November, 1869, is the wife of W.H. Garrod, a business man of Oxford; and Bertha M., who was born M 1873, and is the wife of C.V. Wilson, a tile manufacturer. The parents and children are all faithful members of the Methodist church, Mr. Bassett having been connected therewith since the age of sixteen years. He has always been very active in Christian work. When he came to his present home religious services were held in private houses, and he inaugurated the plans which resulted in the erection of the house of worship. He has filled all the church offices, has long been class-leader, and is a recognized leader in both church and Sunday-school work. His life exemplifies his Christian belief through his kindly spirit, his benevolence and his liberality in support of all good measures. In politics he is a stalwart Republican, but has never been an office-seeker, preferring to devote h attention to his business interests, in which he has met creditable success.

3361	Biographical Memoirs of St. Clair County, Michigan, 19 Henry J. Sweet A prosperous farmer of Smith, Berlin township, St. Clair county, Michigan is the gentleman whose name appears at the head of this biographical notice. He was born in the state of New York November 4, 1831, a son of Joseph C. and Polly (Clark) Sweet, of Dunham, Lower Canada, of which the father, Joseph C. Sweet, was an early settler. Joseph C. Sweet came to Michigan in the thirties and settled in Berlin township, St. Clair county, on an eighty - acres tract of wooded land, the country at that time being one vast wilderness. He, however, crossed the line into Macomb county, where he passed two or three years, but returned to St. Clair county and purchased another tract in Berlin township, also in the wilderness. The family sheltered itself in a diminutive log cabin, that had neither fireplace, chimney, door or window, and after a great deal of hard work succeeded in clearing off the timber from the forty acres tract, to which they later added a tract of eight acres. Joseph C. was a skillful axman, was a sure shot with his rifle, and was courageous and daring as a pioneer. He was a Democrat in politics and active in his support of his party, was a Freemason, a consistent member of the Methodist church, and passed away in this faith December 3, 1887, in his eighty-third year, his wife dying on July 12, 1892 in the eighty-sixth year of her age. To this respected couple were born nine children, namely; Melvina; Betsey, deceased; Chastina, deceased; Henry J., whose name heads this sketch; Hannah; Nancy, deceased; Edmund; Maria, deceased; and Alma, also deceased. The children all received good common school educations and Chastina and Maria became successful and popular teachers. Henry J. Sweet assisted his father on the home farm in his early days, doing his share in clearing off the superfluous timber, and in the winter also worked in lumber camps. At his father's death he took charge of the old homestead. March 6, 1860, he was married to Miss Harriet Allen, daughter of Douglas and Phebe (Conger) Allen, of Dangerfield, Oneida county, New York, who came to Armada, Macomb county, Michigan, in 1836, and reared one of the most respected families in the district. To Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Sweet have been born two children, viz: Will J., who was born September 22, 1864, and died February 25, 1901. He was a young man of great promise, was respected by all who knew him, and was the youngest member who ever served as chairman of the board of supervisors, of which he was a member at the time of his death. He had served as town clerk for some time and was supervisor for four years. His wife, Myrtle Gaskell, survives him, residing at Mount Clemens. The daughter, Effie, became the wife of Adam Mackie, who died October 29, 1893, leaving her with a daughter, Aubrey A. Mackie, aged nine years. Mrs. Mackie is now the wife of J.B. Curry. Mr. Sweet owns a well-improved farm of one hundred and twenty acres, and has recently purchased a one-hundred-ten-acre farm at Smith, which he operates. He is an active Democrat and has served as township treasurer several terms, and was moderator of the school for twenty-one years. He has always been controlled by the spirit of industry, a virtue inherited, no doubt, in a great degree from his mother, who was an indefatigable spinner and weaver of wool, not only for her family, but very often in shares with others. She made the clothing for the household, and was one of the most respected ladies that ever lived in Berlin township.	Sweet, Henry J. (I13711)

3383	Cass County Pioneer, September 17, 1926 ANNA ELIZABETH OLIVER We folks of The Pioneer received a severe blow this week in the death of our dear wife and mother, Mrs. A.A. Oliver, wife of A.A. Oliver, and mother of R.A. and A.B. Oliver, her death coming at 12:35 p.m. Tuesday at the Walker hospital after an operation several days before for the removal of her gall bladder. Our dear one had been ill for the past six months and suffered severely during that time. Several weeks ago it became evident that some malignant ailment was working to keep her ill and it was then discovered that she needed the operation referred to above. But her physical condition would not permit the operation immediately and she went to the hospital for treatment to better her condition. Later the operation was performed but our beloved one could not recover. Drs. Wilcox and Thabes and the nurses at the hospital did everything they possibly could for our sufferer but she steadily grew worse until the end came. Anna Elizabeth Rathbun Oliver was born in LaSalle, Illinois, November 13, 1871, the daughter of Alonzo E. Rathbun and Anna Elizabeth Rathbun. She died at Walker, Sept. 14, 1926, aged 54 years 10 months and 1 day. At the age of 8 years with her parents she removed to Lake Lida, Otter Tail County, Minnesota, where the family located on a homestead and lived for several years. They then removed to Pelican Rapids and established the Park Region Pioneer Newspaper at that place. Mrs. Oliver grew to young womanhood there. She was an apt pupil, took advantage of the limited school system then available and also studied music under her father's supervision, he being an accomplished musician. In her early teens she united with the Congregational Church, in which denomination she has always retained her membership. During her early years at Pelican Rapids when not engaged in school duties, she was employed as a Compositor in the office of the Park Region Pioneer and later devoted much of her time to office work including the business and editorial departments of the newspaper. It was here at Pelican Rapids and in the Park Region Pioneer office that she became acquainted with A. A. Oliver who was employed as foreman of the office, and later on September 25, 1888, in that village, they were united in marriage. After several months of happy married life Mr. Oliver's health began to fail him in the close attention to his office work, but he kept at his labors until ordered by physicians to leave the office and seek outside employment, preferably in the pines. The young couple were not daunted and faced the new requirements by deciding to locate on a homestead in Cass County and moved by ox team through the woo cabin at Esterdy in the southern part of the county, arriving incide frontier life. During this period Mr. Oliver was often compelled to seek employment in the neighboring towns to secure funds to sustain the family. On January 16, 1894, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver established the Cass County Pioneer at Esterdy, and entered the same office as the Ellis Post Office, where th operated the newspaper, a great part of the burden falling upon the little mother's shoulders, as Mr. Oliver was employed at times on the Staples World in order to help with the expenses. In the meantime, the Brainerd and Northern logging railway was constructed to Walker and the town organized with a promising future. Mrs. Oliver may be very properly named as the mother of the Cass County Pioneer. In May 1896, the printing office was moved to Walker, and shortly after the house goods and family came to Walker, also, where the newspaper continued in publication. Mrs. Oliver continued to give much of her time and attention to the office work and personally composed most of t first delinquent tax lists ever set in Cass County. This in addition to the great responsibilities of motherhood and the home. She was stricken with partial deafness and in 1910, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver decided to take a rest from the newspaper game and spent 5 years thereafter on a little farm a couple of miles south of Walker, leaving The Pioneer in charge of R.A. Oliver, their eldest son. At the end of five years they returned to Walker and A.A. Oliver resumed active participation in the affairs of The Pioneer, but the little mother did not come back into office activities. She was occupied mostly from that time to her illness with her household duties though she has ever remained the main inspiration of we of The Pioneer; the dear one to whom we have gone to approval in our successes and comfort in all cases. During the early days in Walker it was a typical woodsman town. No thought had yet been given to the building of a church. The only place available for church services was the little room in the Brainerd and Northern station. In 1897, a small group of women with Mrs. Oliver worked, and among whom were Mrs. J.B. Spencer, Mrs. N. Daily, the Mesdames Bush and several others assembled together and decided to start the building of a church and organized the Congregational Ladies Aide. The rough and ready pioneers of this community irrespective of religious denominations readily joined in and funds were raised through efforts of Mrs. Oliver and her associates to complete the first church ever built in Walker, first the Congregational church, the Free Lutheran Church. Mrs. Oliver was the organist and Sunday school teacher part of the time and gave music lessons during those early years. In the lat years she has given most of her time to her family and to her children's families. She was a great lover of flowers, especially pure white pansies and delighted to the many beautiful flowers brought to her in her late sickness. She loved the things artistic, art and music and needlework being especially appealing to her. Worthwhile toil was her practical prayer, her trust was in God, her faith well founded, and her spirit has returned to the arms of her maker from whom it came, a well earned, well merited devotion to that house not made with ends eternal in the sky. The deceased is survived by her loving and affectionate husband and the following children: R.A. and A.B. Oliver of Walker; Mrs. Elam Johnson of Bimidji; E.L. Oliver, of St. Louis; Mrs. N.A Bowman of Walker, and Mrs. Elmer Bowman of Virginia, Minnesota, all of whom were here to the funeral. One son died in early infancy. She is also survived by three sisters and two brothers; Mrs. C.H. Case of Shingobee township; Mrs. J.K. Mounts of Ottertail Lake; Mrs. Sadie Van Cleve of Washington; Arve Rathbun of Oregon; and Lewis Rathbun of California. There are also 18 of the grandchildren, every one of whom t deceased always welcomed at her home and gave them comfort. The funeral services were held this Friday afternoon from the Free Lutheran Church with Rev. Jewell delivering the address and she was laid to rest in the Walk Evergreen Cemetery.

He went to the Pacific with the 8th Fighter Bomber Group and was promoted to First Lieutenant in May 1955. He returned for pilot duties at Suffolk County Air Force Base, New York, serving until April 1958 when he took the electrical engineering course at the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. He was promoted to Captain in January 1960 while on duty at Edwards Air Force Base, California, as an electrical engineer. In November 1960 he went to Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, to attend Squadron Officer School and returned to Edwards as an experimental test pilot in the Fighter Projec Office. He had about 2,800 hours flying time in jets. He reported to NASA's Manned Spaceflight Center in Houston, Texas, January 7, 1964 and subsequently became a Gemini 9 Astronaut. He died with fellow Astronaut, Elliott M. See, Jr., when their T-38 jet crashed on approach to St. Louis, Missouri, on February 28, 1966. O bright winter morning, the last day of February 1966, the Gemini IX foursome checked into Ellington Air Force Base, Texas, for flight clearance to S Louis in two dual-seat T-38 jet aircraft. They planned to spend several days practicing on the rendezvous simulator at the McDonnell plan At Ellington, the four fliers learned that weather in St. Louis was gloomy: 180-meter overcast, visibility 3 kilometers, rain, and fog, with little change expected. Instrument flight rules would be required. See called the St. Louis air traffic controllers, saying he would see them in a couple of hours. He and Cernan discussed the different runways at Lambert Field in St. Louis. See then climbed into the front seat of one T-38, with Basse easing into the back seat. Stafford and Cernan got into the other plane. They took off from Ellington at 7:35 a.m. See and Bassett led, with Stafford and Cernan flying wing position. Reaching St. Louis just before 9 o'clock, See radioed the Lambe Field control tower and learned that the overcast had lifted to 240 meters since his earlier call, but the visibility had dropped to 2.4 kilometer Light snow flurries now mixed with the rain and fog. As the aircraft descended through the overcast, the pilots found themselves too far down the runway to land. See elected to keep the field in sight and he circled to the left underneath the cloud cover. Stafford followed a missed approach procedure and climbed straight ahead into the soup to 600 meters, intending to make another instrument approach. He landed safely on his next attempt. Meanwhile, See had continued his left turn. The aircraft angled toward McDonnell Building 101, where technicians were working on the very spacecraft See and Bassett were scheduled to fly. Apparently recognizing that his sink rate was too high, See cut in his afterburners and attempted a sharp right turn; but it was too late. The aircraft struck the roof of the building and crashed into a courtyard. Both pilots were killed. NASA named a seven-man board to investigate the accident. Led by Astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr., the board looked into all aspects of the tragedy - aircraft maintenance, pilot experience, medical histories, and weather conditions. Shepard's group listened to testimony from everyone who had anything to say, sifted the wreckage for clues, and drew conclusions. They found nothing wrong with the aircraft; it had functioned properly to the moment of impact. Within the past six months, See and Bassett had renew their instrument flying certificates. Before and during the flight, both men had been in good physical and mental condition, as attested by medical examinations and by reported pre- and in-flight conversation Furthermore, See was reputed to be an excellent test pilot. Careful, judicious, and technically competent, he should never have crashed at all. Weather appeared to have been the major contributing cause, and pilot error prompted by a desire not to lose sight of the field had carried them too low. On Wednesday, 2 March 1966, Spacecraft No. 9, on its way to the flight dock for shipment to Cape Kennedy, passed an American flag flying at half-mast at the McDonnell plant. The next day, Elliot See and Charles Bassett, attended by their fellow astronauts, were buried in Arlington National Cemetery across the Potomac from the Nation's capital. NASA assigned the Gemini IX prime crew positions to Stafford and Cernan, marking the first time in the agency's manned space flight history that a backup crew had taken over a mission. On 21 March James Lovell a Edwin Aldrin were given the backup duties. There would be no delay in t launch schedule.	Bassett, Charles Arthur Jr. (I19621)
3386	CHARLES AND MARY BASSETT LAKE COUNTY HERITAGE, Friends of the Lake County Public Libra Copyright Curtis Media Corporation, 1990. When Charles Hall Bassett and Mary Ann Kyger were married in Brookville, Indiana, on August 25, 1863, they brought together families that had been part of the earliest settlements along the Whitewater River valley in Southeastern Indiana. The children of this marriage were to participate in the building of a new settlement in northern Lake County named Gary. The seven children of Charles and Mary were: Leora T. (1865-1922) m. Daniel Havens (known to all as Lola and Doc) Ch. Mabel, Georgia, C. Howard, Madeleine. Lewis W. (1869-1873). A. Gertrude (1872-1959) Ch. Ralph. Grace (1876-1961 m. Charles Allison Ch. Vivian L. Orris W. (1878-1966) m. Mary Emma Hains Ch. Maxin Harry H. (1880-1893), Walter S. (1884-1961). About 1893 the family moved to Elwood, Indiana, where the oldest daughter had gone to live with her husband. As the children married and established their own homes, they either lived nearby or made the weekly trek to spend Sunday with Charles and Mary. Charles had been a brick layer b joined his son, Orris in the plumbing business in Elwood. Gertrude was the first of the Bassett brother and sisters to move to Gary where she and her husband, Frank Hodson, became socially prominent community leaders. Encouraged by the Hodsons and the opportunity offered in this budding city, one by one the other family members made the move. T Allisons and Havens had moved to Indianapolis, but both families were in Gary by 1920 with daughters Vivian Allison and Madeleine Havens enrolled in Emerson High School. About 1920, Charles and Mary also moved to Gary and were joined by Orris in 1925. When first arriving in Gary, the families usually lived with or near one another -- often renting a house from the Hodsons. The addresses include 521 Monroe, 221 W. 6th Ave., 525 and 527 Jackson. Walter was the only Bassett off-spring to resist Gary. He and his family moved frequently and to several different states, but resided for a number of years in Munster. Distance, however, seldom prevented them from joining in family gatherings. An appreciation for and talent for art and music was evidenc several family members. Lola taught art for a time in the Gary schools and Gertrude's hand painted china is still admired by family members. Ralph Hodson and his daughter, Sally, were both singers and lent their voices to most of the family weddings. Walter's pumpkin carvings were an annual art event for the family. Charles had served in the Union Army during the Civil War and was one of the 14 charter members of the William A. Ketchem Post of the Grand Army of the Republic which was organized in Gary in 1923 -- believed to be the last post to be organized. In 1926 at age 86, he became Commander of the Post. In their final years, Charles and Mary lived with the Hodsons at their home at 1516 W. 6th Ave., where the regular Sunday gathering of the clan took place. Charles and Mary each died in 1929 but their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren still assembled with some regularity. They were a fun loving group, able to create their own entertainment or adopt the latest game craze. There were beach parties at Wells Street and "10-cent" Christmas parties at the home of Frank or Ralph Hodson or at Walter Bassett's home in Munster, where Walter was the first family member to discover that a basement could be converted to a "rec-room". The younger children often produced a play for the Christmas gathering. All of the youngsters have fond memories of special times at the Hodson's Long Beach summer cottage. In later years, the family gathered at Joe and Madeleine (Havens) Wildermuth's beach home or at their farm near Leroy, Indiana. In 1989 the descendants of Charles and Mary Bassett are far flung and see one another only rarely. Yet each holds a special place in his childhood memory of the Bassett family gatherings.

3387	Charles Anselm Bassett (Includes picture) Biographical History of Massachusetts, Volume IX, 19 Among the men of whom the Commonwealth is proud - though their names may not be widely heralded, was Charles Anselm Bassett of Fall River. He was born April 1, 1842, at Taunton, Massachusetts, and died at Fall River, January 23, 1916. He was the son of Charles Jarvis Holmes Bassett (1814-1891) and Emeline Dean Seabury. His grandfathers, with dates of birth and death, were: Anselm Bassett, born April 30, 1784, died September 9, 1863, and John Westgate Seabury, Jr., born July 17, 1791, died April 28, 1857. His grandmothers' names before marriage were Rosalinda Holmes and Emeline Dean. His ancestors were of pure Pilgrim stock. William Bassett emigrated from England to Leyden, Holland; and came thence in the ship "Fortun Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1621. He was afterwards one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, a man of good education, and a wealthy landowner. In the Pequot War he served as Volunteer, and was for six years a Representative in the Old Colony Court. Peregrine White, the first white child born in the Plymouth Colony, became his son-in-la His grandson, William Bassett (3), born in Sandwich, Massachusetts, 1686, was Marshal of the Colony, Judge of the Common Pleas, and Register of Probate, and one of the most distinguished men of his time. The father of Charles A. Bassett was Cashier and later President of the Taunton National Bank - a man of notable integrity, firmness and efficiency. He was a clerk in a dry-goods store in 1859. For four years he was the youngest clerk in the National Bank of Taunton. He became Cashier of the First National Bank of Fall River (1864-1877), and Treasurer of the Fall River Savings Bank, 1877, to the time of his death. He was a member of the "Sinking Funds Board" of Fall River for nearly twenty years. His social affiliations were with the Masonic Fraternity, and t Quequechan Club of Fall River. He was a Republican. He was an attendant of the First Congregational Church of Fall River. On June 15, 1870, he married Mary L., the daughter of Dr. Foster and Nancy L. Hooper, and granddaughter of Salmon and Rebecca Foster Hooper. They have one daughter, Mary Hooper Bassett, wife of George H. Waring - a cotton broker. Mr. Bassett's career furnishes a good illustration of the usefulness and power of a faithful, modest, reputable citizen, and is one that can be safely emulated by all young men in present and future generations.

3388	Charles Bassett obituary, Feb. 6, 1930, Kinmundy Express - Last Thursday word was received here by Mr. and Mrs. Ira MORRIS that their son-in-law, Charles BASSETT, was killed in an auto accident about 4 mil southwest of Astoria, Ill. on Route 31. Mr. and Mrs. MORRIS and son, Loy, and R.J. ANDREWS departed immediately for St. Louis, while Ray GEORGE, Bill MORRIS, Jr., and Elmer BASSETT departed for Astoria. Charles was identified by an identification card in his pocket. The undertaker at Astoria called Mrs. BASSETT in St. Louis who in turn called her parents, Mr and Mrs. MORRIS. Charles had been to Chicago on business and was returning to his home in St. Louis. From all reports, the pavement had been clear of ice all the way to Chicago. There was a small skiff of snow on the road and at this particular place, ice covered the road. The car skidded, turned upside down, and landed on Charles. He was driving a Ford Roadster. There were no eye witnesses to the accident but a man in a car was approaching him. He stated that he noticed a car with lights approaching in a distance of about a mile and then he noticed all at once the lights disappeared. He drove on and came to a car turned over with the lights still burning. He stopped his car and went to look and found Charles underneath it. He was practically dead then. The windshield was broken and the top torn off. Otherwise the car was not damaged and was driven here by Billy MORRIS on his return Friday evening. The verdict of the coroners’ jury was that he came to his death at 6:30 o’clock Thursday night, near Astoria, because of shock, contributory causes being internal injuries received when his automobile upset. The body was accompanied by his father, Elmer BASSETT, and was taken to Peoria by motor, thence to Mattoon and thence to Kinmundy on the train, arriving here on I.C. train No. 3 Friday night. The funeral services were held from the M.E. Church Sunday afternoon, Rev. Monroe SMITH of Patoka, officiating, assisted by Rev. Orin H. YOUNG. Interment was made in Evergreen Cemetery. Charles was a friend to everyone and this fact was emphasized by the large floral tribute and the church being filled to capacity Sunday afternoon. "Leaves have their time to fall; And flowers to wither at the north wind’s breath And stars to set, but breath Thou hasn’t all seasons of thine own O! Death." Our community was sadly shocked and grieved Thursday evening as the news flashed over the town of the sudden death of Charles BASSETT, which occurred four miles out from Astoria, Ill. on the State Highway No. 31, when his car overturned and he was pinned beneath. He was returning from Chicago to his home in Overland, Mo., when the accident happened about 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 30, 1930. In one unbroken caravan the myriads of mankind from creations dawn have gone out into the mysterious night of death. No single traveler has ever yet returned. There is no mystery like death, and we know too, that. "Death is but a path that all must trod, If man would ever pass to Go McWhirter Charles, son of Elmer and Maggie BASSETT, was born on a farm nine miles west of Kinmundy, June 12, 1905, being at the time of his passing 24 years, 5 months and 17 days of age. Just in the Springtime of his life, when that life held such cherished hopes and ambitions, the death angel flitted by and closed the bright blue eyes and his soul drifted out upon the great ocean of Eternity. Thus we are brought face to face with realization "That in the midst of life we are in Death." On this farm and in the parental home he grew to young manhood, when he went to Chicago and entered the Ray Auto School. After completing his studies he accepted a position in that city where he remained until he transferred to the St. Louis County Water Co., and then to Wellston Motor Co, as night foreman of their plant. On Nov. 12, 1927, he was united in marriage with Miss Vera MORRIS of this city, and took her to Overland, Mo., where he purchased and furnished a beautiful home for her. In this new home they found great pleasure and were serenely happy and contented. This happiness seemed complete when God blessed them with an infant son, Dec. 15, 1929, the child being the delight of the found father and mother. They called him Charles Roy. This son, with the loving and devoted wife and mother are left to mourn their great loss in the passing of this, their most beloved one. He also leaves a kind father and indulgent mother, three sisters, three brothers, and many warm friends. He was of a sunny and cheerful disposition, straight forward and honest, and made friends with all with whom he came in contact. Thus his soul has returned to the great unknown from whence it came "That Beautiful Isle of Some Where." The work so early begun is finished, but the spirit lives on. This passing has brought great sorrow and desolation to the loved ones who mourn him deeply. But -We know not where His islands life Their fonded palms in air, We only know we cannot drift. Beyond His love and care?	Bassett, Charles (I16326)

3391	Charles W.D. Bassett Charles (Kim) Bassett, a spirited and accomplished member of the Belmont Hill faculty for twenty-eight years, died in Naples, Florida, on April 8th, 2002, after a brief illness. He was 68. Mr. Bassett, who lived in Acton, Massachusetts, had been a wint resident of Naples since his retirement in 1994. He was diagnosed with cancer in February and had begun treatments for it, but his death was hastened by heart disease and two strokes. The son of Francis and Rosamond Bassett, Mr. Bassett was born in 1934 and grew up in Taunton, Massachusetts. He graduated from Middlesex School in 1953 and from Boston University in 1967. At B.U., he later earned a master's degree in education, coached rowing, and served as supervisor of Miles Standish Hall and a counselor to undergraduates. After a term of service in the Army reserve, he was appointed to the faculty of Belmont Hill in 1966 as a counselor and head of varsity crew. Shortly afterward, he became a dormitory master in Speare House, a role he would fill for many years. Drawing on his B.U. counseling experience, Mr. Bassett introduced an introductory course in psychology for Fifth and Sixth Formers around 1970 that became a popular fixture of the curriculum, and he later taught an introductory economics class to the same age group, with emphasis on the nature of the market system and on investment strategy. In both subjects, he was no slave to this curriculum, however, and he frequently used class meetings as opportunities for free discussion of important developments at school and beyond or for a kind of group counseling in life skills. As an Upper School counselor of individual boys, he instilled confidence and helped many work through their problems and stresses at school. Mr. Bassett led the Belmont Hill crew program with spirit, color and vigor for nearly twenty years as head varsity coach. His oarsmen enjoyed many successes during this period, in both seasonal races and the annual New England championship regattas at Lake Quinsigamond. Two of his first boats, in 1971 and 1982, went on to win national schoolboy championship His oarsmen and students remember Mr. Bassett's challenging, supportive coaching and teaching with gratitude, and his faculty friends and colleagues recall fondly his collegiality, hospitality and infectious humor. By both his physical stature and the range of his accomplishments and service, Kim Bassett will be remembered as an imposing figure at the school. A large company of his family, friends, former colleagues, students and oarsmen joined together for a service in celebration of his life on May 18th in the Hamilton Chapel and later in the day gathered at the Charles River for the dedication of the renovated Belmont Hill-Winsor Boat House, one bay of which now bears his name. Mr. Bassett is survived by his sisters, Cynthia Polhemus, Diana Perron, and Jacqueline Bassett, and several nieces and nephews.	Bassett, Charles Winthrop D. (I21469)
3392	Chicago Suburban Daily Herald, 13 Mar 2007 Phyllis Anne Dlugokecki (picture included) Phyllis Anne Dlugokecki a Naperville resident since 1998 Funeral services for Mrs. Phyllis Anne Dlugokecki (nee Bassett), 51, formerly of Bridgton, Maine and Greeneville, Tenn., will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, March 16, at Knox Presbyterian Church, 1105 Catalpa Lane, Naperville, with the Rev. Deb Roberts officiating. Interment will be private. Visitation will be from 3 to 9 p.m. Thursday, March 15, at Friedrich-Jones Funeral Home, 44 S. Mill St., Naperville. Born April 21, 1955, in Quincy, Mass., she died Sunday, March 11, 2007, at her home, after a year long battle with melanoma. Phyllis grew up in Braintree, Mass. and later received her B.A. from Regis College, Weston, Mass. Phyllis owned and operated Punkin' Valley Play School in Bridgton and she was also a public school teacher in Bartlett, N.H., Greeneville, and most recently at Graham Elementary School, Naperville. Phyllis lived the expression written by author Harvey MacKay, "Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life." By that standard, she never worked at all. Phyllis was excited to be with her students every day and to share stories from school with her friends and family. She treasured opportunities to visit with former students, and many of them contacted her during her battle with cancer to provide support and to express their gratitude. As a woman who loved life and exploration of all sorts, Phyllis was passionate about travel. She and her husband, Andrew, had a fondness for European food and culture. They spent Christmas of 2004 in Italy with their three children, hiking along the coast and visiting the town of Cinque Terre, a trip and holiday memory that has remained very special to all of them. Phyllis also treasured the time she and Andrew spent in Sweden during August of 2005. Andrew and Phyllis recently looked back upon this as their last and best time together as Phyllis' disease struck only months later. Phyllis and Andrew met in 1974, while they were attending college in the Boston area. They were a special pair because of the way they complimented one another. While Andrew took care of life's details, Phyllis never lost sight of the big picture. Together they took in the joys of life and its trials too. Phyllis was the mother of three children, and she cared for them beautifully. S always made time to listen and spoke to them in quirky sayings, such as "The fox will run again." These messages were comforting because they were uniquely hers. She was always ready - whether for her kids or their friends - with big hugs and "twizzlahs." Phyllis, a member of Knox Presbyterian Church, was faithful to God in prayer. Even in her illness, she began every prayer thanking God for his goodness and blessings - the day, her family, the sun. She had the ability to see God in things that could have easily been overlooked, and Christ drew people to himself through the warmth and love of her spirit. Phyllis is survived by her husband, Andrew N. Dlugokecki of Naperville, whom she married on Oct. 17, 1981; children, Anne Nicole, Julie Kathleen and John Andrew Dlugokecki; her mother, Kathleen (nee Hennebery) Bassett of Norwell, Mass.; brother, Christopher Bassett of Boston; sister, Nancy Williams of Norwell; several nieces and nephews; aunt, Jeanne Hennebery of Scituate, Mass.; and her mother-in-law, Jennie Dlugokecki of Stoughton, Mass. She was preceded in death by her father, Cyril F. Bassett; and father- in-law, Zigmund Dlugokecki.
