| 3355 | Buffalo Evening News, 27 February 1901 Seth C. Bassett of Haverhill, Mass., arrived in Buffalo this morning for the purpose of making arrangements to conduct excursions to the Pan-American Exposition next summer. He reports that many people in Eastern Massachusetts are planning to see the Pan-American, stimulated by the three-fold attraction of the unrivaled fame of the beauty of the Exposition, its nearness to Niagara Falls, and low railroad rates. The Popular Science News Boston, February 1, 1893 As will be seen by a notice in another column, Mr. Seth C. Bassett has closed his connection with the Science News, after being associated with the present editor as part proprietor and business manager for the past ten years. It gives us pleasure to acknowledge the value of Mr. Bassett?s services to the paper, the prosperity of which during that time has been largely due to his eminent business ability, while a long and harmonious business association has led to a full appreciation of his many admirable personal characteristics. Mr. Bassett is to enter a large shoe manufacturing firm in Haverhill, Mass., and will take with him the best wishes of all who have had business dealings with him in the past, as well as those of his former associates on the staff of the Science News. The Story of Essex County, Volume IV Seth C. Bassett To hundreds of folk of two generations the name of the late Seth C. Bassett is held in grateful memory, if only because he introduced a new and valuable method of enjoying life. A native of Levell, Maine, and from boyhood familiar with the mountains and valleys, the winters and the summers of northern New England, he hit upon the idea of trying to get other people to know and appreciate the winters of the north country. In 1895 he started the small tourist agency which later was to become so widely known, and he investigated the advantages of the various places he knew as possible headquarters for winter sports. He chose Intervale, New Hampshire, as the spot most suitable, accessible and picturesque. Persuading a few to make up a party for a winter trip to his base between the mountains, he personally conducted the group and directed their sports. In this simple fashion was the winter sports idea born and Intervale made the Mecca of the winter sports lovers, particularly the girls of Bradford and Abbott academies, the Lasell, Rogers Hall, and Sargent schools, Radcliffe College, and many other groups whi annually made their way to Intervale. When Mr. Bassett conducted his first parties, the stagecoach was the only method of transportation available, which perhaps made the journey more thrilling than today. Besides being the pioneer in organizing and developing winter sports, Seth C. Bassett also established a travel bureau whose scope was the globe. In Haverhill he also carried on an extensive business in insurance, both of which activities are now under the management of his wife, Lillian Y. Bassett. At one time Seth C. Bassett was part owner of the Haverhill "Gazette", the leading newspaper of the city, and was an important factor in bringing about a rise in circulation from six hundred to nine thousand. After selling out his newspaper interests, for a time he was the proprietor of the Boston "Journal of Chemistry." Seth C. Bassett died on July 4, 1930, sincerely mourned by the thousands all over the world with whom he had come in personal contact. He had contributed to the sum total of the recreative pleasures of life, a mode of enjoyment that was entirely wholesome and beneficial. This is his true memorial. In Haverhill he had been a useful and public-spirited citizen who had won the respect and affection of its citizens. He was a popular figure in Merrimack Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, and a Knights Templar and was a member also of the Pentucket Club. Mr. Bassett is survived by his widow, Lillian Y. (Bassett) Bassett, member of the Haverhill Women's City Club, and prominent in social, civic and humanitarian circles. | Bassett, Seth Chase (I10166)

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)

Two died in infancy, but Thomas Elihu, born December 4, 1845, lived, and was loved by all the uncles and aunts, and they were many, for Sylvester Hayes and Fanny Basset Hayes had 9 children and Nathaniel and Phoebe Smith Paige had 14. He was not too rugged a little boy, but eager to go to school. No school bus, then, Alas! He, at 7 years, walked through the big woods along the fence clear over to the log school house on the Old State Road, now known as Granview Road. Mrs. Stacia Hessin (who lived where Mr. Colburn now lives) would call little Tommy to her cabin and make sure his feet were dry and warm before he went on to school with her three boys,........ | Hayes, Elihu Phelps (I05555)

| 3396 | 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)

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)

| 3399 | 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)

| 3400 | 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)
