NEELY - BASSETT

Dr. Bud Wilkins Neely (1882-1951), a descendant of one of Franklin's
first families, was born the youngest of ten children to Richard Wilkins Neely
(1834-1915) and Susan A. (Jones) Neely (1838-1915). The four sisters, w
adored him, liked to say that "Mama" ran out of names when he came along so
they dubbed him "Buddie". Professionally he was known as Dr. B.W. Neel
Dr. Neely's sisters and brothers were Frances Neely, married Dr. Louis
A. LaGarde, buried in Arlington Cemetery; Lillie Neely (1859-1934), married
Thomas Minor Ellis (1857-1934); Nettie Neely (1862-1936) married W.E. Crow
(1859-1932); Nancy Rebecca "Babe" Neely (1864-1963) married J. Fisher Leake
(1867-1942); Charles Henry Neely (1869-1910) married Ora Stuart (1869-1951);
Thomas L. Neely (1874-1941) married Annetta Knapp (1875-1962); Richa
Neely (1878-1942) married Victoria Louisa Clark (b. 1891); James Bush and John
Wesley Neely died in infancy. All of the above, other than Frances LaGarde,
are buried in Greenlawn Cemetery.
In 1904 Dr. Bud Neely graduated from the Louisville College of
Dentistry where he was a member of PSI Omega Fraternity. He later took post-
graduate work at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Neely practiced dentistry in East
Tennessee for a period of time. He returned home to Franklin and opened
his office over Houston-Black's Drugstore. Later, he purchased a building on
the south side of the square, known as the Neely Building. Dr. Neely converted
the second floor into office rooms. He practiced dentistry here full time or
semi-retired until his death in 1951.
Dr. and Mrs. Neely enjoyed traveling and would take months off each
year, other than the war years, for this pleasure. After a post-World War II
European trip in 1949, he spent most of his time caring for his real estate
and farming interests which brought great pleasure to him.
Mary Esther Bassett (1885-1977) was born, the first of three children,
to William Noble Bassett (1863-1943) and Ona May (Salla) Bassett (1868-1966),
in Shelby Co., IN. Her sister Margaret Lynn (1887-1975) married Dr. Charles
Herbert Bruner. Her brother James Noble (1892-1956) married Myrtle House.
Mary Esther's maternal grandparents were Melvin Noble Salla (1835-
1906) and Margaret Elizabeth (Campbell) Salla (1838-1901); her maternal great-
grandparents were Lewis Salla (1798-1879) and Juliana (Gordon) Salla (1807-
1875); maternal great-great-grandparents were James Salla and Juldah (Grant)
Salla and William Gordon II (1779-1860) and Elizabeth (Kelly) Gordon (1786-
1862). Her great-great-great grandparents were William Gordon I (born 1740 in
Ireland d. 1779 in Va.) and Mary (Duedworth) Gordon (b. 1731 in England - d.
1822 in Indiana). William Gordon I and Mary Duedworth were also her paternal
ancestors.
Mary Esther Bassett's paternal grandparents were James M. Basse
(1840-1924) and Clara Clarinda (Norville) Bassett (1841-1909); great
grandparents were Sylvester Bassett (1814-1902) and Susan (Monroney) Bassett
(1818-1899); and Thomas Norville and Lucinda (Hankins) Norville. Her
great-great-grandparents were Nymphas Bassett (b. 1782) and Thankful Ann
(Bruce) Bassett and Robert Hankins and Sarah Jane (Curry) Hankins. Her
great-great-great-grandparents were Thomas Curry and Alcie (Gordon) Curry.
(Alcie Gordon was the daughter of Mary Bassett Neely's maternal great-great-
great-grandparents, William Gordon I and Mary (Duedworth) Gordo
Mary Esther Bassett came to Franklin to teach at the Franklin Female
College in 1907. She graduated in 1905 from the Cincinnati Conservatory of
Music, where she studied piano, voice, flute and elocution. She received the
Medal of Honor for her work at the Conservatory. Following her graduation, she
spent two years on the Chautauqua Circuit as an accompanist for a violinist
and also as a narrator.
A resident of Franklin heard Miss Bassett perform in Paducah, KY, and
recommended her to the college. She taught elocution (the art of speaking and
gesturing), Ancient History, and physical education. Many of Miss Bassett's
pupils were young ladies of the community who were near her own age. Th
later served together in civic and church affairs. Her pupils would often tell
her family of the many pleasant afternoons they would walk off the hill on
College Street (the street on which their teacher was to live all her married
life), to stroll around the square with her as their chaperone. They loved and
admired her beauty, intellect, and wit, often standing in awe of her talents.
At the end of her second year of teaching, Mary Bassett resigned to
study at the Boston Conservatory of Music. Many hours were spent that summer
of 1909 in Indiana, getting clothes packed for Boston, but other interests had
been taking place that summer. Dr. Neely had made more than one trip to
Indiana in pursuit of her hand. A few days before she was to leave for Boston,
she announced that she was going to marry Dr. Neely.
Thursday afternoon, Oct. 14, 1909, at 4:00 o'clock, Mary Esther
Bassett and Dr. Bud Wilkins Neely were married among autumn foliage and
flowers at the farm home of her parents in Morristown, IN.
Mrs. Neely was welcomed to Franklin into the church, civic and social
affairs of the day. She especially gave her talents and time to the Mus
Club, encouraging and developing music appreciation in the community. T
years later she returned to Morristown to the farm home where she was born and
married to wait the birth of their only child. On September 13, 1911, Bassett
Wilkins Neely was born.

3656 Sioux County History, First 100 Years 1886-1986
Sarah C. Day Bassett (includes picture)

Sarah C. Day Bassett was an early Baptist home missionary, the first
in Sioux County, and a significant figure in many lives at that time.
Beginning in 1886, for years she held religious meetings tirelessly wherever a
building was available. Her dedication to relieving suffering in homes was
remarkable. James. H. Cook has written that when drought and grasshoppers were
severe, "at one time in this county there was such suffering among the
homesteaders that adjoining states sent in help", Mrs. Bassett we
homes with acute sickness or destitution, and stayed for several weeks, as
long as her help was needed. She cooked, washed, ironed, cleaned and cared for
the children and the sick; she gave food and clothing out of the boxes and
barrels that came from the Baptist Home Missionary Society. She lived with the
utmost personal frugality, never considering her own comfort.
There was more than a hint of fanaticism as she went about her work.
Her friends were expected to contribute to her mission, whether by furnishing
team and buggy, as James Cook died, or by allowing her to appropriate t
small things her friends had that she felt the destitute needed. Having been
reared in extreme frugality, her eccentricities took a petty turn that was at
time disconcerting.
Nevertheless she did great good. Sometimes she lent money to the
deserving. She sent three young men through college while she lived in
Harrison. One was E.A. Weir, whose medical education she financed. Dr. Weir
returned to Harrison, and practiced medicine there for years. Both Mrs.
Bassett and her sister, M.E. Day Trobridge, were graduates of the Bapti
College in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and understood the value of an educatio
There was inherited money, which Mrs. Bassett never ceased to use for t
benefit of others. Mrs. Browbridge with her husband owned the Baptist
Christian Herald, a large paper at that time. In that, Mrs. Bassett also held
an interest.
Born Sarah C. Day in 1839, in Sturgis, Michigan, she was the daughter
of a pioneer Baptist minister, the Rev. Gershom Bulkley Day. He was shot by
Indians in 1852, while preaching to gold miners in California, in the gold
rush days. His wife, the former Elizabeth Benjamin, was descended from Sir
Francis Drake, through Drake's brother, Joseph.
In 1867, Sarah C. Day married Henry Bassett. He had been an ear
salesman for the first sewing machines in Nebraska. Later he was divisi
superintendent of the freight firm of Majors, Russell and Waddell. Henry
Bassett died in Cheyenne in 1886. After his death, a friend, Mrs. Ma
Graham of Agate, invited Mrs. Bassett to come to the ranch to make her home.
Mrs. Bassett was then appointed a home missionary, and began her work, often
using Agate as her base. At one time, she homesteaded a section of land near
the headquarters of Agate, land that is now part of the ranc
In later life, she lived at Andrews, favoring that spot because it was
handy to the railroad and hence convenient for shipping her missionary
barrels. James Cook owned a small house at Andrews, used as a place to stay
overnight when shipping cattle. This house was made available for Mrs.
Bassett's use. There she continued her mission, often putting up strangers
traveling through for the night. And it was there, on July 27, 1921, that a
sudden cloudburst brought a flood down the White River, and swept her away,
with the house, in the night.


Early Days in Sioux County, Nebraska History
Vol IV July-September, 1921 No. III

Among the strong characters remembered by the editor from his eight
years' residence at Chadron (1888-96) is Mrs. C.D. Bassett of Harrison. At the
beginning of that time the conflict between the free range cattlemen, whose
herds had run on the splendid open range for a decade, and the "Grangers," as
the homesteading settlers were called, was at its height. In vain the
experienced ranchers told the land-hungry homesteaders that Sioux County was
"no farming country." There stretched the splendid smooth sections of gramma
grass. There was the Pine Ridge covered with pine trees for log cabins. There
were the canyons and valleys with gushing springs and clear flowing streams.
And there was Uncle Sam offering a free homestead for five years' residence.
Nothing could stop the homesteader. He went for that land. A
crown his courage kindly Providence in 1889 sent rains the summer long. Such
crops of wheat and corn and vegetables were harvested by the homesteade
where the ranch men told them it never rained after the Fourth of July. So the
homesteaders captured the county government from the ranchmen and drove the
cattle from the free range. And then came the Drought!
In this period the fame of Mrs. Bassett, the missionary merchant of
Harrison, traveled far in the northwest. A letter written to secure certain
early papers belonging to her husband's freighting experience brings the
following letter from 31 East 22nd Street, Portland, Orego
I am the daughter of a Baptist minister, Rev. Gershom Buckley Day, who
settled in Sturgis, Michigan, in the fall of 1836, doing pioneer missionary
work.
Everybody was poor and a great deal of sickness made it impossible for
the people to give needed aid to the missionary. My mother was heir according
to English law, of Sir Francis Drake through his senior brother Joseph. She
with her needle supported the family for 13 years except the pittance
contributed by the people. In 1849 gold was discovered in California. At that
time there was no machinery and only placer digging could be engaged in.
Father said he could do as much good preaching to the miners as anywhere and
could prospect for gold during the week. He decided to go to California in
order to make money enough to support his family and educate his two
daughters. There were no church buildings and the California Indians saw the
congregations who gathered in the open to hear him preach, thought him a white
chief talking against them so they planned to watch when they might find him
alone and killed him in 1852.
W.H. Bassett and I were married in 1867. In 1884 he contracted
tuberculosis and died in 1886. His life was of much interest as he was engaged
in freighting for the government for many years between Nebraska City a
Pacific coast points. His diaries were burned with all his effects in Nebraska
City, thus losing the records of an eventful life. Though not converted until
after our marriage he was a moral man and in hiring his men required them to
sign a contract not to use vulgar language or profanity, nor to abuse their
animals under penalty of discharge, which at that time would have been serious
on the uninhabited prairie.
Mr. Alexander Majors, of the firm, Majors, Russell and Waddell, with
whom he was associated in the freighting business came to see him just before
he died and the meeting was a touching scene like the meeting of a father and
a son. The strenuous physical and nervous strain of his illness of twenty-
three months impaired my health so that I was having night sweats and every
indication of a permanent decline, when an estimable woman friend, Mrs. E.B.
Graham, invited me to come to Nebraska and make my home with them at their
ranch.
Nebraska offered good opportunities for loaning money and a friend in
Sturgis, Michigan, wished me to loan a thousand dollars for her. I deposited
it in the bank at Harrison until a favorable opportunity offered. The bank
became involved, so the only way I could save the deposit was to buy the
store with which it was connected. I secured two excellent helpers of ability
and integrity, Mr. Conrad Lindeman and E.A. Weir, the latter a young man about
nineteen.
In this new town when some of the cattlemen would return from having
sold their stock in Omaha and have a spree they were determined that every man
in town should join them. Those who did not drink were obliged to hide. One
hid under the steps of the depot, another ran into my store through the back
room, jumped out through the window and escaped through the darkness out on
the broad prairie. If discovered they would be dragged to the saloon and
compelled to drink.
The store was quite large and had living rooms at the back which I
occupied. The clerks slept in the store when all was quiet. But the 4th of
July, or any public day, was always an occasion for a spree. My clerks gladly
consented on such occasions to my suggestion to sleep in my apartment and I
would don a wrapper and sleep under the counter in the store.
Whenever I think of the early Harrison days, two pictures persist in
presenting themselves. One 5th of July morning one of the carousers got the
hotel dinner bell and came ringing it vigorously to the store for my me
After he had persistently rattled the front for some time I got up and went to
the door. When he saw me he ran as if an evil demon was trying to catch him.
On another occasion some once came to the west door. The store was on a corner
and had two entrances. I was sleeping near the south door. I stepped out to
inquire what was wanted. I went to the corner of the building and was
surprised to find a man in his night attire. He, too, ran when he hea
woman's voice. The bitter feeling of the liquor element expressed itself in
threats, so friends told me never to step out doors after dark alone, that I
was in danger of bodily harm on account of my temperance principles. This was
in the early days of free range when there were no fences and cattle roamed at
will over the public land.
A short time prior to this a young school teacher was married and came
to western Nebraska stopping for a little while at Hay Springs before settling
in Harrison. Hay Springs if possible was then more wild than Harriso
Harrison they took a claim and lived in a shack made of lumber with cracks
that one could stick their fingers through which was all right in nice
weather.
A little daughter came to this house and the mother endured much
suffering with bealed breasts. No milk could be secured for the baby who died
of starvation. There was no cemetery and the little one was buried on t
claim near Harrison. When an effort was made later to have the remains removed
to the cemetery no trace of them could be found. Thus the little body rests
beneath the wild flowers awaiting the awakening trump of the resurrecti
morn. There was no doctor at Harrison at this time. Water was hauled in
barrels for family use. A rancher from over twenty miles away saw the house,
called for a drink and found the woman in this pitiful condition. He told her
he had a brother who was a doctor and he would send him to her. The doctor
relieved her greatly and a year ago the lady told me she thought Dr. E.
Graham saved her life at that time.
Having been a Bible class teacher in Michigan I organized a class in
Harrison and conducted religious services from time to time in the hall. At
the close of one of these services the only cyclone that has ever been known
in Harrison seemed to start just west of the town. It consisted of two columns
each about as large as a barrel, which moved slowly eastward until it came to
Main street, when it turned south and followed the fleeing citizens who were
running from it at a right angle from where they first saw it. Afterwards one
of the men said: "I glanced back and the thing was just following us." In its
path stood a small house made of lumber. It was torn into splinters. The cook
stove was carried nearly half a mile and the stove pipe, table and chairs,
broken and carried farther. The chickens were killed, their feathers picked
off and scattered.
I had just concluded a religious service in the hall which w
stairs at the four corners of the town. There came a little dash of rain with
large drops so I waited to see if there was going to be more rain. Everybody
else had gone. I stood looking out of the west window when I saw it start and
watched it progress and demolish the building above referred to, I said to
myself, "The Lord can take care of me here just as well as anywhere." I watched
it approach, there was every indication that the building I was in would be
wrecked. Then it turned south. I did not experience fear. I seemed to have the
assurance that the Lord would take care of me even if the building was razed.
Many incidents occurred from time to time while the town was so new,
viz.: When savage Indians were reported on their way to Harrison. This was a
night of terror everybody expecting before morning the horrors of a massacre.
The rumor proved false and the tension was relieved the following da
The Sioux tableland is fine. Good people have been attracted to
Harrison, because of its healthful climate. The better element prevails and
now it is a pleasant town with modern homes, good lawns and beautiful flowers.

3680 Taunton Daily Gazette, 23 Jul 1902
Sarah C. Bassett

July 11, 1902, at her home in Foxboro, Mrs. Sarah C. Bassett, widow of
the late John Bassett, passed from earth. She was highly respected and loved
by those who knew her. She was born in Taunton August 9, 1834, and was the
tenth and youngest child of the late Howell Lothrop, who lived on Lothr
street, a short distance south of the Lothrop school house. Her mother, Nancy
C., was a daughter of Ambrose Lincoln and a descendant in the sixth generation
from Thomas Lincoln, the miller, an early settler of Taunton.
Sarah's education was obtained almost entirely in the district school
and chiefly under the instruction of the veteran schoolmaster, Benjamin
Narvey, who was the teacher of the school in district No. 20 for 10 successive
years, from 1838 to 1848, with the exception of 1842, when Nathaniel T.
Cushman was employed. Evening spelling and speaking schools were prominent
features of the administration of Mr. Harvey. Sarah very early became a good
speller, and took an active part in the exercises of the schools, and in
spelling contests was always among the last to be "spelled down
In August, 1848, the ambitious scholars of the district, under the
lead of Simon B. Wetherell, formed the "Laurel Literary Society," and
established a paper called "The Laurel,", which was made up of original
contributions from the members of the society, and for some time was one of
the editors. Her childhood and youth were spent during what may be called the
golden period of the school district system.
In September, 1849, when the high school was opened with Ozi
Pitkin as principal, she, with three others from school district No. 20,
entered the school and took high rank with the best scholars of the town. At
this time there were four others from the same small district who attended
Bristol Academy, all pursuing the higher branches of education. During the
summer of 1850, before she had reached the age of 16 years, she was employed
to take charge of the school in district No. 19. This school she taught with
much success. but her literary and educational career was of short duration.
In the fall of 1850 she became the wife of John Bassett, a worthy and
respected citizen of the school district in which she had taught. After
marriage she devoted herself to domestic duties, leading a quiet and peaceful
life, spreading cheerfulness and sunshine around her. She was always kind-
hearted and lively; was the sunshine in her father's house, and she carried
the same characteristics into her own home. To visit her was ever a pleasure
and one came away feeling better for the visit. In her later years she was
sorely afflicted by disease, but her cheerfulness remained; what would have
discouraged and depressed others she bore without complaint.
She left a son and two daughters to mourn her loss.

History of Wayne County, City of Detroit, Michigan (193
Arthur F. Bassett

Arthur F. Bassett, president of the firm Bassett & Smith, Inc.,
realtors, is one of Detroit's well known business men and through his
individual activities has contributed to the advancement and development of
his city and county. He was born in Detroit on the 9th of June, 1893, and is a
son of Arthur and Elizabeth C. (Fancher) Bassett. The family is one of
America's oldest, having been established in this country in 1621 by William
Bassett, who came from England and settled at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Thus
Arthur F. Bassett is of the ninth generation of the family in this country.
His great-great-grandfather, Nehemiah Bassett, was killed in the Revolutionary
war. His son, also named Nehemiah, who was born in 1776, helped Robert Fulton
build his historic steamboat, and in 1829 he came from Wayne county, New York,
to Monroe county, Michigan, and took up a tract of government land, the
original patent for which, bearing President Andrew Jackson's signature, is
now owned by Arthur F. Bassett. Nehemiah W. Bassett, Mr. Bassett's olde
paternal uncle, was killed in the Civil war. Arthur Bassett came to Detroit in
1869 and died in this city in 1916. He was born in Lenawee county, this state,
on January 17, 1851, a son of Nehemiah and Mary (Foster) Bassett. In his youth
he attended the district schools and completed his studies in the high school
of East Saginaw. When fifteen years of age he began his commercial career as a
clerk in a drug store. Afterwards he was connected with a wholesale drug house
for a time and then spent three years in the banking business. After coming to
Detroit he engaged in the drug business on his own account, conducting it for
nineteen years, or until 1895, when he became a special loan agent for the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company at Detroit. This brought him in
contact with the real estate interests of this city, with which he was closely
identified up to his death. He gave his political support to the republican
party and his religious connection was with the Baptist Church. In November,
1883, he was married to Elizabeth C. Fancher and they became the parents of
two sons, Gilbert L. and Arthur F.
Arthur F. Bassett received his early education in the public schools
of Detroit, attending the Irving school through the grades and graduating from
the Central high school. He then entered the engineering school of the
University of Michigan, from which he was graduated in 1914. For two years he
followed the engineering profession in connection with the Detroit Steel
Products Company, during a part of which time he was assistant engineer. In
1916 he resigned that position to take up the real estate business, in which
his father had been engaged, and became a partner in the firm of Bassett &
Smith., Inc., the offices of which are now at 2443 First National Bank
building. During the subsequent years his firm has become prominent in the
development of this city, handling some of the leading subdivisions, such as
Vinsetta Park, Woodward Estates, a one hundred acre tract on Woodward avenue,
and others of equally large acreage. Mr. Bassett is the president of the
Vinsetta Land Company, is a director of the First State Bank of Royal Oak,
Oakland county, and a trustee of Hillsdale College.
On June 19, 1917, Mr. Bassett was united in marriage to Miss Jessie I.
Lyon, of Detroit, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Lyon, of a well known
family of that city. They are the parents of five children, namely: Elizabeth
Mary, born in Dayton, Ohio, May 2, 1918; Margaret Jean, born in Detroit, August
13, 1919; Nancy Lenore, born October 10, 1922; Arthur Frederick, born February
1, 1924; and Ruth Ann, born May 19, 1928.
Mr. Bassett is a veteran of the late war, in which he served fr
July, 1917, to April, 1919, as a lieutenant junior grade in the United States
navy. Politically he is a strong republican and is greatly interested in
public affairs. He is a member of the Masonic order, the Pontchartrain Club,
the Pine Lake Country Club, the Red Run Golf Club, and is treasurer of the
Detroit Baptist Union, being an active member of the Baptist Church. He is a
progressive business man, a public-spirited citizen and a loyal friend, so
that throughout the city in which he lives he is well and favorably known and
has a large circle of warm friends.

Kingman Bassett Dies, Headed Water Authority

A memorial service for Kingman Bassett, a former chairman of the Erie
County Water Authority and former vice chairman of the Erie County Republican
Committee, will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday in Westminster Presbyterian Church,
724 Delaware Ave.
Bassett died Sunday (Aug. 22, 1993) in Buffalo General Hospital after
an extended illness. He was 69. Friends describe Bassett, who was financially
independent, as a man of broad intellect who was both strong in his
conservative views but patient and tolerant with people with whom he disagreed
if he thought they were trying to reach an intellectually honest position.
Bassett's six years of Water Authority were marked by his belief that
a public job requires public trust. That rigid view in 1980 led to his well-
publicized quarrel with then County GOP Chairman Victor N. Farley. Bassett
dismissed a Water Authority employee whom Farley wanted to retain. Farley then
removed Bassett from the appointive job as Water Authority chairma
After that, Bassett ended his political activity as a researcher and
leader that spanned the 1960s and 1970s and included assisting former State
Comptroller Edward V. Regan in his early political career. After leaving his
Water Authority post and the Republican organization, Bassett devoted himself
to investment analysis.
Bassett was a member of a group that met for years at lunch in various
restaurants to discuss daily events and exchange opinions. "Kingman always
held his own with us," said longtime friend Thomas V. Troy.
Born to a prominent Buffalo family, Bassett graduated from the
former Elmwood School, Nichols School and Phillips Exeter Academy. In 1942, he
entered Princeton University, but his college studies were interrupted from
1943 to 1946 by his World War II Army Air Forces services as a radar
technician. He graduated from Princeton in 1948 but two years later was
recalled to military service during the Korean War and served as a radar
instructor.
Surviving are his wife, the former Katherine Crandell; a son, Kingman
Jr.; two daughters, Mary DeForest Barclay of Denver and Katherine; a brother,
William B. of Merion, Pa.; three sisters, Barbara B .Gearhart of Tallahassee,
Fla., Priscilla B. Bretshger of Villanova, Pa., and Deborah B. McGinley; and
two grandchildren.
