3903 MRS. MARY CLEMENTINE HAILE BASSETT PASSES, Washtucna, Feb. 19

Services at United Presbyterian Church; burial at Walla Walla. Mrs.
Mary Clementine Haile Bassett, prominent pioneer, church and community worker,
friend to rich and poor alike, who has lived in Washtucna the past 33 years,
was called by the angel of death at 3:30 am., Friday. Funeral services were
held at the United Presbyterian church Tuesday morning at 10. The Reverend
R.H. Gordon officiated. The body was laid to rest in the family plot at Walla
Walla, WA. Six charter members of the Washtucna chapter of Eastern Star, Mrs.
J.W. Sitton, Mrs. J.H. Gill, Mrs. Art Shugart, Mrs. Levi Sutton, Mrs. J.C.
Nunamaker and Mrs. John Nunamaker acting as honorary pall-bearers. An acute
heart attack was the direct cause of her death. She was born in Billing
Missouri, in 1877, coming to Washtucna in 1898 and was 54 years of age at her
passing. Among her fraternal affiliations were the Eastern Star, of which she
was charter member, the Royal Neighbors, the U.P. Missionary society and the
Ladies of the Round Table club. She is survived by her husband, L.L.,
prominent hardware merchant and for many years mayor of Washtucna; a so

A.J. and W.W. Haile, Spokane, and Daniel Haile, Portland. While Mrs. Bassett
has been in ill health for a number of years, she had that indomitable courage
that no amount of ill fortune could down, making her death a complete shock to
the community of which she was an integral part. She always rose to the
occasion, whatever it might be, good or ill, and there is hardly a family in
the community who is not indebted to her for past kindnesses. The attendance
at her funeral was one of the largest in the history of the town and the
magnificent floral offerings shows in part the esteem in which she was held.

1893, he married Miss Emma O. Naumann, who had been a fellow student at
Cornell. In September of the same year, he had joined the Northwest Iowa

Conference and its successor North Iowa Conference throughout his life. He
later attended Iliff School of Theology and many years later was given the
honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity by Cornell College.
In Northwest Iowa the family lived in the various communities of

accomplishments of a long and useful ministry:
"In the earlier years, he held charges that were semi-pionee
later years he built churches, remodeled parsonages, conducted revival meetings,
won youth and adults to the Christian life, strengthened the believers, and
led young men into the ministry. He was selected by the conference to be its
secretary for five successive years; he was the leader in the establishing of
the Minister's Pension Fund, raising the first $100,000; he served a term of

Fellow Sioux Falls resident Alice E. Bassett gained admissions to the bar six months after Rochford. Born in April of 1867 near Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Bassett was the youngest child of Ira Norton Bassett, a Civil War veteran who died when Alice was young, and Betsey Babcock Bassett. In her early twenties, after graduation from Jennings Seminary in Aurora, Illinois, Bassett came to Sioux Falls, first working as a teacher then as a stenographer in the law office of Charles P. Bates, where she pursued her legal studies. On 5 April 1898, she successfully passed the examination before the South Dakota Supreme Court and was admitted to practice. As a licensed lawyer, the Sioux Falls newspapers reported, Bassett tried cases and gave legal advice to a number of clients. She preferred teaching and stenographic work, however, and began a business school, giving private evening instruction before establishing her school of stenography and typewriting in the Minnehaha building in Sioux Falls. On 2 January 1900, she married lawyer Henry August Muller.
?A lawyer has an opportunity almost equal with that of the clergy along the line of helpful and upbuilding influence upon mankind?, Alice Bassett Muller declared. She named as necessary qualifications fo the job the ability to think quickly and clearly on one?s feet, good health, and kindness and sympathy. Childless herself, she identified the conflict between career and family as the primary limitation for a woman lawyer. ?To succeed,? Muller asserted, ?a woman should devote all of her time to her profession, which would bar her from rearing a family and devoting herself to her home.? She described her work in 1920 as a combination of law, stenographic reporting, and teaching, taking any kind of work that came to her and making from two to four thousand dollars a year.
As a stenographer, Muller regularly took down the proceedings at various state conventions, among them the bankers association and education association, and reported numerous political addresses, including several by William Jennings Bryan. She was the official reporter for the Department of South Dakota Grand Army of the Republic. At the time of her death on 13 April 1926, she had nearly finished compiling a history of the department, having severed as its historian for three decades. The five-hundred-page volume contained data on thousands of South Dakota?s veterans. Muller was known for her charitable work and civic involvement. She played an active role in the organization of the Sioux Falls Humane Society, for which she served as secretary, and the Business and Professional Women?s Club. She was also closely involved in church work, the YMCA, and the Prisoner?s Welfare Society.

Kingsley - Bassett Family F476

Eliza J. and Harvey J. Kingsley came to Allegan from Ohio and later to
Fennville. They owned a large farm which extended from 58th Street on the west
to what is now the LaSalle bank property.
They had one daughter, Carrie, who married Charlie Bassett in 1892.
Charlie and Carrie started the Fennville Herald. They had one daughter,
Marcia, who married my father, Clare Arnold, who was a widower, my mother,
Nina V. (Bale Arnold having died in 1932).
When the fires raged across southwest Michigan in 1871, the same time
as the Chicago fire, the Kingsleys buried their possessions in a pit on this
farm. Marcia's grandfather built what is now known as the "Kingsley House" in
1886. Harvey J. Kingsley died in 1925 and Eliza died in 1929.......

A Family of Boys (Submitted by Kay Deuster)
Muskegon Chronicle, 4 Apr 1903
Are the Sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bassett
Largest Family of Sons in This City or County?
The Oldest is 25 years and the youngest Three years
All But One were Born in Muskegon - Parents of this Interesting Family
Were Married in Muskegon September 5, 1874.

In the present distinguishing of 'long families' Muskegon has a noteworthy one in the nine sons of Mr. and Mrs. Josephere Bassett, who live at 160 Washington avenue, in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Bassett consider that theirs is the largest family of sons in Muskegon city and Muskegon county and the Chronicle today presents to its readers this interesting group of advancing citizens. They number: William, aged 25; Edwin, age 21; Walter, aged 18; Elmer, aged 17; Louis, aged 15; Moses, aged 12, Ira, age 9; Clarence aged 6 and Herbert, aged 3.
All of these are native sons of Muskegon but William who was born in St. Mary, Kankakee county, Ill.
Mr. and Mrs. Bassett, the parents of this interesting family, were married in Muskegon September 5, 1874. Mrs. Bassett maiden name was the same as her present one, Mary L. Bassett, although there was no relation between her's and her husband's families. Her parents were old residents of Muskegon, coming here from Malone, N.Y., forty years ago, and her grandparents lived in Canada. Although Mrs. Bassett has spent most of her life in Muskegon, Mr. Bassett only came to this city in the spring of 1874 from Kankakee, Ill., a few months before their marriage. Mr. Bassett was born in Canada, and when six months old his parents moved to Kankakee, Ill., taking him with them. Bot Mr. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett are of French ancestry and both of them come of large families. Mrs. Bassett was one of eight daughters and two sons, and has three sisters living in Muskegon at the present time.
Mr. Bassett came of a family of five sons and five daughters and has three sisters living in Bluffton today.
After their marriage he and his wife moved immediately to his former home in Kankakee where they remained five years. They then returned to Muskegon and have lived here ever since. Mr. Bassett is a laboring man and last winter worked in the rolling mill. Previous to that he was employed in the Grand Rapids Desk Co.'s factory.
The nine sons of this remarkable family are all stalwart and sturdy young men and boys and a rich possession to their parents and to their state.
The four older are cabinet makers. William is at present employed at the Gray Mfg. Co.'s works. Edwin and Walter follow their trade in Grand Rapids. Elmer labors at the Grand Rapids Desck Co.'s factory. Louis worked on a machine at the Alaska Refrigerator Co.'s. Moses attends school in the Sixth grade at the McLaughlin building. Ira is in the Third grade at the McLaughlin school. Clarence is in the first grade at the McLaughlin and Herbert stays at home, and according to his parents, rules the house. There was also a daughter at one time who died ten years ago at the age of 14 years.
Only one of the sons is married, Edwin, who on February 19 of this year, wedded Miss Maggie Ferguson of this city.
Footnote: Joseph (3-18-1918) is buried in Oakwood Cemetery Lot 1-Pl-G with Mary L. (12-16-1941) Moses (4-20-1929), William H. (8-24-1964) & Rose K. (2-24-1965).

September 30, 1946 ? January 28, 2021

SUFFOLK--Kenneth "KB" Graham Bass, 74, passed away peacefully in his home on January 28, 2021. He fought a good fight, battling through a long illness, and is now resting in peace. He was born in Wilmington, North Carolina and graduated from Wilson High School in 1964.
Kenny enjoyed a long career at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, finally retiring after over 30 years, after having received multiple awards during his time there. He served as an Auxiliary Portsmouth Police Officer for two years and in the National Guard for six years. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Simonsdale Teen Club.
Kenny spent his youth passionately playing baseball and then transitioned to playing softball in his adult years. He enjoyed the game and spent many hours on the field making lifelong friends through various teams he was a part of. He enjoyed the game of golf, playing in golf tournaments and going to Myrtle Beach for golf getaways with the guys. And if you were fortunate enough to have been given a watercolor painting by Kenny, keep it, because there will never be another. He was quite the talented watercolor artist! Kenny loved Elvis, hanging out on the swing in his yard with friends and family, tinkering in the garage, and a '66 Corvette.
Kenny is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Barbara Bass, who will miss him greatly. He is predeceased by his father, Graham Laymond Bass, and mother, Hazel Hammond Fowler.

Sentiment Surrounds Gown Worn by Mr. Bassett?s Bride

An aura of sentiment surrounds the ivory brocaded satin gown worn by Miss Marilyn Jean Nelson of Rochester for her marriage to James Van Inwagen Bassett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kingman Bassett of Depew Ave., at 3 o?clock this afternoon.
The Rev. Robert H. Stromberg performed the ceremony in white-gladioli-decorated St. Paul?s Lutheran Church, Procter, Vt.
A reception was given by the bride?s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sven Nelson of Proctor, in Mountain Top Inn, Chittenden, Vt.
The gown previously was worn by the bridegroom?s sisters, Mrs. Russell Barr McKillen of Toledo, O.; Mrs. Paul U. Bretschger and Mrs. Edward F. McGinley III, and also by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Kingman Bassett, at their marriages.
Styled on fitted lines with tiny self-covered buttons on the basque, the dress has a full skirt and court train. Seed pearl embroidery accents the pattern of the brocade. Facing the neckline is rose point lace which the bridegroom?s father brought to his mother after World War I.
A cap of matching lace held a fingertip illusion veil. The bride carried a cascade of white pompons, gladioli and stephanotis.
Mrs. Donald W. Anderson of Upper Montclair, N.J., cousin of the bride and matron of honor, wore a blue, sheer, waltz-length gown. A circular panel fell from a bow at the back of the Empire waistline. She chose a velvet Alsatian bow headpiece and a cascade bouquet of yellow and bronze-color pompons.
In ensembles of the same style in a blending shade of blue the other attendant were Mrs. Robert I. Bergreen of Allegany, a classmate of the bride in Elmira College, and Miss Louise B. Olney, Hartford, Conn.
Ensign William B. Bassett, USN, whose marriage took place in Washington, Aug. 11, was best man for his brother.
Ushers were Kingman Bassett and Mr. McKillen. Alison N. Anderson of Upper Montclair was flower girl, and William M. Bretschger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bretschger, a page boy.
The bride?s mother chose a rose-color silk organza dress with Chantilly lace applique over mauve taffeta. She wore white accessories and wine-color pompons.
The bridegroom?s mother favored a toast-color lace, sheath-style dress with toast-color accessories and brimmed hat of jade-green velvet. She wore yellow glamellias.
For traveling to Canada the bride selected a black and brown plaid sheath jacket dress and white pompons. The couple will be at home Sept. 16 in Ithaca where the bridegroom is studying hotel management in Cornell University.
