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.

PELICAN RAPIDS - Mrs. A.E. Rathbun received the sad intelligence of
the death of her father at his home in Kansas. Mr. Rathbun went down to attend
the funeral and help administer the estate.

Cass County Pioneer, Walker, Cass County, Minnesota, October 12, 1923
PROMINENT EDITOR IN EARLY DAYS
MRS. ANN E.B. RATHBUN, DIED FRIDAY, OCT.5 AT THE AGE OF 80 YEARS.

Mrs. Anna E.B. Rathbun died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mabel
Rogers, in Walker, Friday October 5 at 9:45 PM of Bright's Disease, after a
very long and painful illness. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at
2:00 in the Community Church. Rev. W.E. Hammond delivering the address. The
deceased led a very prominent life. Her maiden name was Anna Elizabeth Bassett
and she was born at Goshen, New York. At the age of 10 she entered a newspaper
office as an apprentice and continued in the printing business during h
school years and up until the time of her marriage, which occurred November
26, 1866 when she was married to Alonzo E. Rathbun at LaSalle, Illinois. Mr.
Rathbun was also a printer and they conducted newspapers at different points in
the east for the first few years of their married life. But owing to the ill
health of the husband caused by injuries received in the Civil War, they
removed to Minnesota in 1879, and settled near Pelican Rapids. The call of the
press was too strong upon them and it was not long until they moved into the
village of Pelican Rapids and became the publishers of the Park Region
Pioneer. Mr. Rathbun's health became worse and he went back east leaving the
entire management and editorial work to his wife where she continued for a
number of years and until shortly before she came to Walker in 1900. Mr
Rathbun and her two children, Aurelia and Lewis, lived here for several years
and until the daughter finished her education and had been married to J
Mounts. The deceased then moved with her son Lewis to Akeley. After that, they
went to Ashby, Minnesota where Lewis had established a newspaper. There she
lived until about three months ago when her health became so very poor that no
hopes could be entertained for her recovery and for that reason her daughters
thought it best to bring her back to Walker where they could be with her
during her last days, and Mrs. Mabel Rogers, her eldest daughter, has been
untiring in her loving care of the sufferer. There were six children, two boys
and four girls who all survive her. Mr. Rathbun died several years ago. The
children are: Mrs. Mabel Rogers and Mrs. A.A. Oliver of Walker; Arvine Rathbun
of Springfield, Oregon; Mrs. Sadie VanCleve of Garrison, North Dakota; Mrs.
J.K. Mounts of Battle Lake, Minnesota, and Lewis Rathbun of Ashby, Minnesota.
Mrs. and Mrs. Lewis Rathbun and Mrs. J.K. Mounts drove over and attended the
funeral services, but Arvine and Mrs. VanCleve were too far away to be able to
reach here.
'Tis hard to lose a mother even though her death be preceded by such
intense suffering that one is almost glad to see her at rest, and the intense
grief of the children and the many grandchildren is a tribute to the motherly
love and care which she lavished upon them in the years gone by. The following
verse as written by Mrs. Rathbun while yet in the prime of life was read at
the services.

IN FANCIES REALM
How Blessed 'tis to sleep when comes the need
To slip away from toil and care and wrong
Into the shadow ran his revelence feet
the bount of life and make its current strong
And some there to who crave the dreamless sleep
So far away from knowledge of their breath
That gazing on them friends might find me weak
Stirred by the pathos of what seems like death.
But I, Oh dear Creator ask Thee thus
Let me not lapse from conscious being ere
Even though sleep deny me dreams of bliss
Still let me dream and vigors aspect wear
What dreams may hold I fear not of Thee still
Aware of watching through the dark to know
For my beloved fears? whilst then they will
Can my disquieted no further go
To be oblivious of Thee, not to feel
Through all the fantacism they strong pulse anear
My pulse is obvious token and love seal
To loose myself 'tis only what I fear,

FENNVILLE HERALD T87

The first issue of the Fennville Herald was published on July 2
1892, with Charles E. Bassett as editor. On the front page he promised, "An
effort will be made each week to record all of the news of this section and to
make the Herald a bright, clean paper, such as will be welcome in the home of
every family..."
There was at that time already a newspaper in the Village of
Fennville, the Fennville Dispatch, founded in 1883 by John C. Holmes, formerly
of Union City. Holmes apparently was not liked, and suffered from lack of local
support. The Dispatch died the month after the Herald was born, then Holmes
went off to found a newspaper in Hamilton which didn't do much bette
Bassett was a teacher by profession and had begun the Allegan Record
in 1890, but was unable to compete in the multi-newspaper town of Allegan and
it was sold "under the hammer" in 1891. There was a second attraction to
Bassett in Fennville in the form of Carrie E. Kingsley, the young daughter of
Fennville fruit grower H.J. Kingsley. She and Bassett were married Sept. 1,
1892, and she joined him in the Herald office.
The Herald was originally housed in "a small brown building on the
north side of Main Street". In 1894 it moved to rooms over the bank in the
Raymond, Hutchinson and Dickinson Block, on the south side of Main Street east
of Maple, and was wiped out in the fire of 1895. The paper missed publication
for nearly a month following the fire, and it was then located in a building
on Main Street near the foot of Elizabeth Street, a structure it would occupy
until 1985 when it was moved north to a small building at 204 East Main
Street, in the middle of the downtown area.
The Bassetts ran the Herald for 22 years, selling the paper in 1914 to
the Royal Publishing Co., owned by H.M. Royal of Shelby who installed Ivan C.
Lewis as editor. In 1917 he granted an option to Hardie L. Reynolds, Fennville
storekeeper, and the paper ran large ads to permit him to sell out this stock
before assuming the reins of the Herald.........

Marguerite Petitjean Bassett, 78

Marguerite Petitjean Bassett lived an extraordinary life - devoted mother,
society hostess and the first woman to parachute into enemy territory in
France during World War II. Bassett, 78, died Sunday.

"She was an extremely kind and loving woman," said her daughter-in-law,
Melissa Bassett. "But at the same time, she was very stern. You really saw the
soldier in her." Bassett, born in Strasbourg, France, in 1921, was trained as
a nurse during her teenage years. She volunteered as a Red Cross ambulance
driver in 1939. But a single act of cruelty propelled her to become a World
War II soldier. Bassett witnessed a Nazi officer shoot a little girl who lived
in her town. The incident inspired her to join the French Resistanc

Bassett joined the Free French Forces and went to England, where she received
special training by the Royal Air Force. She learned how to parachute a
perform dangerous acts of sabotage. When she returned to France, she made her
first jump near Lyons and eventually completed 17 missions. Bassett's
assignments supported military actions to disable enemy bridges and pow
stations. She suffered multiple injuries, including a fractured skull a
spine, and her life was often in grave danger. During one sabotage mission,
she was captured by two enemy soldiers, her family said. Bassett waited until
they fell asleep and then tied them up while holding her .32-caliber gu
which she nicknamed Josephine and kept throughout her life.

Bassett's missions were so successful that the Germans placed a 10-million-
franc ($500,000) price on her head. Known by the code name Binette, she
attained the rank of captain and was awarded the Legion of Honor, the highest
military decoration in France. She was also a five-time recipient of the Croix
de Guerre, a French award for bravery.

When World War II ended in 1945, Bassett cast off her military fashions and
immersed herself in the elegant fashions and milieu of high society. At the
Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, she married American, Harry Hood Bassett,
whom she had met during the war. They moved to Palm Beach and then to Miami.
Harry Hood Bassett became well known in South Florida banking, rising to
chairman of Southeast Banking Corp.

Yellowed newspaper clippings show that Marguerite Bassett cut a striking
figure in Miami during the 1950s. "Stunning was Mrs. Harry Hood Bassett, co-
chairman of the grand ball, wearing a white silk brocaded sheath with a
cascade of white tulle," reported one Miami Herald column that spotlighted her
social standing. "It's just incredible how she went from her life as a war
hero to become part of the social world," Melissa Bassett said.

After her divorce in 1955, Marguerite Bassett focused her attention on raising
three young sons - Harry Hood Jr., Patrick Glenn and George Rodney. "She was
always there for the good times and bad times throughout our lives," her son
George recalled. "She was always a supporter, and there was a complete sense
of trust between her and the three of us." In 1959, Allen Dulles, then
director of the CIA, honored her and other World War II heroes at a reception
at his home.

Bassett participated in many charitable events and belonged to a variety of
civic organizations. "She was also passionate about the issue of
desegregation," Melissa Bassett said. "She invited black performers to her
home at a time when it wasn't acceptable."

In addition to her three sons, Bassett is survived by eight grandchildren.

A Mass is scheduled for 11 a.m. today at the Church of the Epiphany, 8235 SW
57th Ave.
