| 3705 | Samuel Smith Bassett, son of Gilbert Bingham Oscar and Mary (Smith) Bassett, was born 31 Jan 1853 in Delhi, Iowa. He married Katharina Hopp, daughter of Michael Hopp, on 23 Jun 1883 in Preston, Minnesot After attending the public schools of Minnesota and Washington, Samuel continued his education in Northfield College in Minnesota. He had accompanied his parents on their removal to the northwest, crossing the plains in 1866 to Montana and in 1871 to the site of Spokane. Later they went to Walla Walla, where Samuel went to school before going to Northfield. He completed his studies at Northfield College in June 1878. During the succeeding winter he engaged in teaching school in Iowa after which he accepted a position as clerk of the probate court under his brother, H. S. Bassett, who was then probate judge in Fillmore County, Minnesota. He continued in that position until 1883. During his stay here, he bought 400 acres of land with his brother. He disposed of his property in 1883 and went to South Dakota where with eight others, he scripped forty acres and established the town of LaGrace, in what is now Campbell County. This was a pioneer district in which the work of development had scarcely begun and it was not until 1887 that the county was organized, at which time Samuel became the first registrar of deeds. He was also admitted to the bar, 25 Sep 1888, and was elected prosecuting attorney of Campbell County in the same year. The duties of his position were discharged so acceptably that at the end of the first term, he was re-elected in 1890, but resigned in 1891 and again established his home in the west. Going to Moscow, Idaho, he there practiced law until he came to Spokane in 1900. He was admitted to practice before the bars of both Washington and Idaho in 1891, and has since been successfully following his profession. He first formed a partnership with George M. Nethercutt, with whom he was associated for a year, and later entered into partnership relations with W. W. Saunders, with whom he continued for a brief period. Since that time he practiced alone. He represented several corporations, among them Lorenzo Mining and Mill Company of Idaho; the Patent Holding Manufacturing Company; the Diamond Carriage Company; the International Crayon Company and others, owning a large interest in each. He had a wide knowledge of corporation law, yet he is well-versed in all departments of the profession. Samuel S. Bassett, Spokane and the Inland Empi Of English descent the family was founded in New England at a period ante-dating the Revolutionary war as he is a descendant of William Bassett who came over on the ship Fortune in 1621. He traces his ancestry from him down through Nathaniel Bassett I, Nathaniel Bassett II, Elnathan Bassett and Gilbert Bingham Oscar Bassett, father of our subject. After attending t public schools of Minnesota and Washington Samuel S. Bassett continued his education in Northfield College, completing his studies there in June, 1878. During the succeeding winter he engaged in teaching school in Iowa, aft which he accepted a position as clerk of the probate court under his brother, H.S. Bassett, who was then probate judge in Fillmore county, Minnesota. Samuel S. Bassett continued in that position until 1883 and went to South Dako where, with eight others, he scripped forty acres and established the town of LaGrace, in what is now Campbell county. This was a pioneer district in which the work of development had scarcely begun and it was not until 1887 that the county was organized, at which time Mr. Bassett became the first registrar of deeds. He was also admitted to the bar, September 25, 1888, and was elected prosecuting attorney of Campbell county in this same year. The duties of his position were discharged so acceptably that at the end of the first term he was re-elected in 1890, but resigned in 1891 and again established his home in the west. Going to Moscow, Idaho, he there practiced law until he ca Spokane, in 1900. He was admitted to practice before the bars of both Washington and Idaho in 1891 and has since been successfully following his profession. He first formed a partnership with George M. Nethercutt, with whom he was associated for a year, and later entered into partnership relations with W.W. Saunders, with whom he continued for a brief period. Since that time he has practiced alone and his ability is manifest in the large clienta accorded him. He represents several corporations, among them the Lorenzo Mining and Mill Company of Idaho; the Patent Holding Manufacturing Company; the Diamond Carriage Company; the International Crayon Company and others, owning a large interest in each. He has a wide knowledge of corporation law, yet he is well-versed in all departments of the profession. With the countless opportunities for profitable investment that are to be found in the northwest it is unusual for a man to concentrate his energies upon a single line and Mr. Bassett, in keeping with the tendance of the times, has extended his activities into other fields and beyond the strict path of his profession. He has interest in Oregon and is a trustee of several companies besides those which he represents as an attorney. In his vocabulary "there is no such word as fail." His plans are carefully formed and executed and bring to him the measure of success which crowns unfaltering effort, intelligently directed. Mr. Bassett's study of the political questions and issues of the day has led him to give active and earnest support to the republican party. While residing in La Grace, South Dakota, he represented his party on the central committee, served as delegate to county conventions in Fillmore county, Minnesota, and was also a delegate to both county and state conventions in La Grace, South Dakota. He is in thorough sympathy with the beneficent and benevolent spirit of the Masonic fraternity and is an exemplary member of the blue lodge. He also has membership relations with the Independent Order of Foresters and with the Royal Highlanders. During much of his life he has lived in frontier districts and has taken an active part in the upbuilding of the sections in which he has made his home. In all of his public work he has looked beyond the exigencies of the moment to the opportunities and needs of the future and has labored for later progress as well as for present prosperity. Spokane has no more enthusiastic champion of her interests or one whose efforts in her behalf are of a more practical and resultant character. | Bassett, Samuel Smith (I07346)

| 3717 | Shelby City Democrat, Thursday, 6 Jun 1895 Coroner Knapp was called to Brandywine township, last Wednesday (May 31, 1895) to hold an inquest on the remains of Mortimer Bassett, who had committed suicide by shooting himself with a gun. About two o'clock that afternoon, Bassett took down his shotgun and informed his wife and her sister who was there for a visit that he intended going out and killing a few squirrels, in order to give them something to do. Shortly afterward the report of the gun was heard, and on going out behind the house, Mrs. Bassett found the lifeless body of her husband. He had placed the gun on a bench pulled the trigger and ended his life, the load taking effect near the mouth, almo blowing his head off. There are several reasons given for his having taken his life, among them being the fact that his wife had threatened to leave h that morning upon his return from Fairland, and return to her home among the Brown County hills. The thought of this no doubt, drove him to commit t deed. Bassetts' first wife died about a year ago and four months ago he went to Brown county and married "Miss Collins". He was a poor man, aged forty five years. Funeral services were held at Brandywine at 10 a.m. Thursday, Re Sedgwick officiating. Interment in Brandywine cemetery. Marshall G.

Dr. and Mrs. Neely enjoyed traveling and would take months off each year, other than the war years, for this pleasure.

| 3726 | 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. | Day, Sarah C. (I09479)

| 3750 | 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. | Lathrop, Sarah Cobb (I05127)
