| 3511 | Internet Folio Database (Original Source Unknown) Sara Ware Bassett, author, daughter of Charles Warren and Anna Augusta (Haley) Bassett, was born in Newton, Massachusetts. Her father was a descendant of William Bassett who came from England to Plymouth in the Fortune in 1621 through his fifth son, Joseph, who settled in Braintree, Massachusetts. Miss Bassett was educated in the public schools of Newton and in 1894 graduated from the Lowell School of Applied Design, then a branch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She received a diploma of honorable mention for designs sent with the latter's exhibit to the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893. Unwilling to accept a designer's position away from home, she turned to teaching and graduated from the Symond's Kindergarten Training School in 1902. Thereafter for twenty years she held a position in the Newton public schools. As English had been her favorite study in high school, she wished to continue this subject, and at once arranged for courses in her spare time at Boston University, where she studied for four years with Professor E. Charlton Black. She constantly practiced writing, at first for the mere love of arranging words, as she had previously arranged colors in her studies in design. She sold some short stories and contributed unsigned articles to the Youth's Companion. Self criticism led her to further courses with Professor Charles T. Copeland and Mr. Frank W.C. Hersey at Radcliffe College, where she studied also philosophy under Professors Royce and Palmer. She then returned to Boston University for three year's work under Professor Dalls Lore Sharp. "To those faithful plots who have guided me upon my course" she dedicated her first novel, The Taming of Zenas Henry, an affectionate study of Cape Code life, published in 1915. She had been in the habit of spending her summers on the Cape and had recognized that, while there were many stories that should be preserved for their local color, other writers had frequently misrepresented the true character of the people. In 1917 followed The Wayfarers at the Angels and in 1919 The Harbor Road. In these books she shows a delicate humor, set off by a delightful irony that does not disguise her complete and friendly understanding of a cordial, generous, and humorous people. Miss Bassett's long experience as a kindergarten teacher has given her a comprehension of childhood which is reflected in the books she has especially written for young people: The Story of Lumber (1912), The Story of Wood (1913), The Story of Leather (1915), The Story of Glass (1916), Ths Story of Sugar (1917), T Story of Silk (1918), and The Story of Porcelain (1919). In these she h traced in entertaining style the various stages taken in transforming t commodity into the finished product. Miss Bassett is a member of the Boston Women's Club and the Boston Author's Club, and an honorary member of the Boston Manuscript Club. Who Was Who, Volume V 1969-1973 Bassett, Sara Ware, author; b.

Current Biography, 1956 Sarah Ware Bassett, Author On April 15, 1955 the Boston Authors' Club honored Sara Ware Bassett, one of its most loyal and active members, on the publication of her fiftieth book. For more than forty years Miss Bassett has written her pleasant novels of New England life. At eighty-four she is busily at work on a new novel scheduled for publication in 1957. A small and fragile-looking lady who has lived all her life in Massachusetts, Miss Bassett shuns publicity. "I prefer to be represented by my work," she writes, "I love my writing. It is my boon companion." A descendant of William Bassett who came to Plymouth, Massachusetts on the Fortune in 1621 and joined the Pilgrims' colony, Sara Ware Bassett was born in Newton, Massachusetts, October 22, 1872, to Charles Warren and Anna Augusta (Haley) Bassett. She spent her childhood and early girlhood in Newton, studying in the Newton public schools and graduating from the Newton Hi School in 1892. In the same year she entered the Lowell School of Design, then a part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, where she completed a program in textile design. She never worked professionally in the field, however. In 1894 she decided to become a kindergarten teacher, a after five years of study at the Symonds Kindergarten Training School in Boston, she obtained a position in the Newton public schools which she held from 1897 to 1917. With a teaching schedule of a little more than two hours a day, Miss Bassett had time to continue her studies in the three fields which interested her most - English, psychology, and philosophy. She took courses at Radcliffe College in Cambridge under such distinguished professors as Charles T. Copeland ("Copey"), Josiah Royce, and George Herbert Paomer. She also studied at Boston University under Dallas Lore Sharp. Miss Bassett had by this time resolved to become a writer, but, as she explains, "I was ill satisfied with my work and was determined to learn how to 'handle my tools' Encouraged by all her teachers, but especially by Professor Charp, she began her first novel, and this was published in 1915 by George H. Doran under the The Taming of Zenas Henry (made into a silent motion picture by RKO). In the forty years since this time, Miss Bassett has published thirty novels, her latest To Each His Dream in 1955 (Doubleday). She has also written a number of books for children: a group in the Industrial Book series for the Penn Publishing Company from 1912 to 1920 (The Story of Lumber, The Story of Wool, The Story of Glass, etc.); another group for the Invention Series published by Little, Brown from 1920 to 1926 (Paul and the Printing Press, Steve and the Steam Engine, etc.); and again for Penn in 1926 to 1927 two volumes in the Discovery Series, The Story of Columbus, The Story of Vasco da Gama. Wi George L. Shuman she wrote Industries of the World (1914) and with E.T. Holmes A Wonderful Fifty Years (1917, privately printed). Most of Miss Bassett's novels are set on Cape Cod, Massachusetts where (except for two trips to England and the Continent) she has spent all h summers since she was in her teens. "I have sought to put into my novels its atmosphere, the fragrance of its pines, the blueness of its sea, the emerald of its salt marshes. I have also tried to present sincerely the humor of the Cape Codder, his common sense, his sterling qualities." Reviewers have generally agreed that Miss Bassett has succeeded in this intention. Her novels, Lisle Bell remarked in the New York Herald Tribune in 1943, are "wholesome and folksy, touched with native humor and the spirit of neighborliness." In a review of her novel Heart's Haven (Doubleday, 1944), the New York Times (July 9, 1944) commented: "Widely known for the flavor of authenticity she brings to her stories by right of heritage, the author is at her best when describing the natives of the small village of Belleport and letting you listen in on their gossip and salty philosophizing It is not Miss Bassett's purpose to portray the grimmer aspects of the modern world nor to explore in depth the complexities of human life. On the eve of World War II, the Saturday Review of Literature (July 1, 1939) complained that her novel A Son of the Sea (Doubleday, 1939) with "its absence of contemporary insecurity, tenseness, and quickness, belongs in those great days of the Atlantic Monthly which preceded the Civil War. It was designed for that saintly white-haired grandmother who in advertisements is all day sitting and knitting and dreaming; it is tender, conventional, and unreal as she is." To the large public that seeks escape in pleasant romantic fiction, however, Miss Bassett's novels, soundly based as they are in the spirit and flavor of rural and small town New England life, remain sturdy favorite Miss Bassett does all her writing at the Boston Athenaeum (of which she is a proprietor) where she is free from the interruptions of telephone calls and visitors. She lives with her sister, a retired physician, in an old house on Beacon Hill in Boston. Her favorite recreations are "a good book, a good play, good music." She rarely listens to the radio and has never watched television. She is proud of her strong family tradition ("although we have traveled, our family have never lived outside Massachusetts since 1621") and states her convictions simply but firmly: "I stand for what is clean, decent, and upholds our religious and moral standards." | Bassett, Sara Ware (I12513)

| 3536 | Lorain County Reporter, Ohio, Saturday, 14 Sep 1895 Obituary: Betsey Nash Aunt Betsey Nash died at the home of her son Nathan Nash in North Russia last Tuesday morning at two o'clock of old age. She had been ill only a few days and all were surprised to hear of her sudden death. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Berry of Oberlin Wednesday afternoon. The remains were interred in the cemetery here. Oberlin News Lorain County, Ohio, 19 Sep 1895 Mrs. Betsey Bassett Nash Betsey Bassett was born June 23, 1805, in Eaton, Madison county, N.Y. She was the fifth in a family of nine children. She was married to Jared Nash Chili, Monroe county, N.Y. March 3, 1825. After the death of her husband February 14, 1832, she came with her two children, Eleanor and Nathan Ohio, settling on a farm in Russia township in 1835, where she has lived for over sixty years. She had a wonderful memory for one so old, instantly recalling the exact dates of all the births and deaths of those who were in any way related to her, though ever so distantly. Although a great reader, the only books she cared particularly to read were the Bible and Shakespeare After the death of her daughter, Mrs. Godfrey Fowl January 5, 1854, she made a home for her grandson, Charles Fowl, until his marriage, after which she lived alone through the summer months, but spending the winter with her son, where she died, tenderly cared for by those she loved, September 10, 1895, aged 90 years, 2 months and 17 days. Betsey Bassett Nash came of old Puritan stock, being a lineal descendant through her mother, of the Puritan Captain Miles Standish, who came over in the Mayflower in 1620, and also through her father, of Captain William Bassett, who came over in the ship Fortune, in 1621. Her parents having a large family, she did not eat the bread of idleness, but in common with other daughters of the early pioneers, was taught all kinds of work, including the carding, spinning and weaving of woolen and linen cloths. In the olden times, when spinning and weaving was all done by hand, a certain number of skeins or "runs" was a day's work, but so expert was she at the spinning-wheel that she did two days' work in one, regularly, for weeks in succession, and on o occasion did two days' work in one, after she had passed her 60th year. In her youth, girls were not in the habit of running up long dry goods and millinery bills for their papa's to pay, but when they could be spared from home worked out at spinning and weaving, or by the week, wages for girls being two shillings six pence per week. It is a significant fact that out of such small wages she and her sisters bought solid silver teaspoons and tablespoons, which were higher in price then than now. Only one brother survives, Charles Bassett of South Amherst. She leaves one son, seven grandchildren, and four great grandchildren to mourn her loss. | Bassett, Betsey (I04572)
