Bassett Southern Wheels Magazine, 2003 Born in Utica, New York in 1875, Harry Bassett wanted to study law after graduating from high school, but this was not to happen. His position of office boy became available at the Remington Arms Company, noted mak firearms, and he took this job, training in product improvement, cost-cutting methods, and camaraderie with his fellow workers, which he would later use in the automotive manufacturing business. He worked hard and stayed with Remington for fourteen years before being asked by Charles S. Mott to join the Weston-Mott Company of Utica, a well-known manufacturer of wire wheels and rims for bicycles, carriages and other vehicles. With the advent of the automobile, they had started production of axles, hubs and automobile rims. In 1915 Bassett became assistant superintendent in Utica, and within a year, went to Flint, Michigan to become factory assistant manager, then the next year, manager. The automotive business was growing and it needed a man like Bassett. He communicated with his employees as a friend, rather than a boss. By now, 60 percent of Weston-Mott's production was for GM. This led to the consolidation with Buick and, in 1916, Bassett became assistant general manager of the combination. He was continually out in the factory. By 1919, he became Vice-President of Buick, where he built sales to the top of the industry, second only to Ford. Buick's output in 1916 before Bassett joined was 43,946 cars. By 1920, production reached 115,972 cars. His attitude was to constantly improve the product, not only mechanically but visually, "Progress is the law of the world, and it must be the law with Buick." Buick built more than 200,000 cars during the calendar year of 192 Bassett's success with Buick was phenomenal, not just in record- breaking sales, but also with the men who built and distributed the cars. Once at the factory he heard there was a problem, so he went to the workers and asked, "What's the trouble, boys? I hear you're not satisfied - tell me all about it and let's see if we can straighten it out right away." The men replied, "We're not earning enough, Harry." Bassett told them, "I think you're right. The rate is fair enough, but there isn't enough production, and that's not your fault, it's OURS. By the fifteenth of next month, enough work will be coming in to improve that, and between now and then, we'll make up the shortage." The men were happy with this and morale soared at the plan Bassett believed in the spirit of human kindness, or in his words, "I like people. I like to help others get along." And that's really what our old car hobby is all about - being able to build and share the cars with the people.

Bassett, President, Buick Motor Co., Flint, Mich. Harry H. Bassett Vice-President General Motors Corporation President and General Manager Buick Motor Company, Flint, Michigan Harry H.

They were the parents of three children, of whom the subject of this biographical sketch was the second in order of birth, the others being Tammison, who married F.P. Mann of Flint, Michigan, and Cornelia, who married E.R. Kapp of Flint. Harry H. Bassett received his schooling at Utica and at Ilion, N.Y., and was graduated from the high school of the latter city with a state academic certificate. He then began work for the Remington Arms Company at Ilion, and was connected with the factory and the office of that company for fourteen years and six months, being gradually promoted until he became assistant to the general manager. He then transferred his services to t Weston-Mott Company at Utica, as assistant superintendent of that company's plant at Utica, and when that concern was moved to Flint in 1907 he became manager of works in the new plant, and has ever since then made his home in Flint.

| 45862 | The Dtroit News, Michigan, Friday, 10 August 2012 Briefly Visitation for Detroit musician Johnnie Bassett is from 3-8 p.m. today at the Phe Funeral Home, 17600 Plymouth, Detroit. Service are at 11 a.m. Saturday at New st. Mark?s, 243318 8 Mile Detroit. The much-admired blues man?s family needs help with funeral expenses; donations are welcome to the ?Johnnie Alexander Bassett Memorial Fudn? at any PNC Bank Branch. Boston.Com Johnnie Bassett, 76, Detroit bluesman with jazzy style August 11, 2012, By Terence McArdle, Washington Post WASHINGTON ? Johnnie Bassett, a blues singer and guitarist with an urbane, jazzy style whose studio work included the early recordings of Smokey Robinson and the ¬Miracles, died Aug. 4 at a hospital in Detroit. He was 76. His death, from liver cancer, was confirmed by his publicist, Matt Lee. Mr. Bassett?s brand of swing and jump blues with a small horn section often contrasted with the rock-flavored guitar work of other headliners at blues festivals. Growing up near Detroit, he began playing guitar in his early teens and started a jump blues band with singer and ¬pianist Joe Weaver while in high school. The group, the Blue Notes, performed at talent shows sponsored by local promoter Frank Brown in Detroit?s black community. Mr. Bassett?s shimmering chord work can be heard on the classic 1954 doo-wop ballad ??The Wind,? by Nolan Strong and the Diablos. Outside the studio, the Blue Notes backed up singers Dinah Washington and LaVern Baker at the Flame Show Bar in ¬Detroit. After service in the US ¬Army, Mr. Bassett returned to Detroit in 1965 and spent several years as a sideman and, ¬occasionally, a featured singer in blues and jazz bands. In 1991, he formed a jump blues band, the Blues ¬Insurgents, with drummer R.J. Spangler, keyboardist Bill Heid, and saxophonist Scott Petersen. The Blues Insurgents ¬released several albums including 1998?s ??Cadillac Blues,? co-produced in Memphis by former Al Green arranger, Willie Mitchell. Johnnie Alexander Bassett was born in Marianna, Fla., where his father was a bootlegger and restaurateur. The family moved to the Detroit area in the mid-1940s. He leaves his wife, Deborah Campbell of Oak Park, Mich.; a daughter; three stepchildren; a brother; four grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. The Detroit News, August 6, 2012 Detroit?s ?gentleman? bluesman backed greats By Susan Whitall, Detroit News Music Writer Johnnie Bassett, Detroit's beloved "gentleman of the blues," died of liver cancer on Saturday, Aug. 4, 2012, at St. John Hospital, Detroit. Mr. Bassett, whose calm, courtly demeanor belied a ferocious musical talent, was 76. It was just over a month ago that his album "I Can Make That Happen," his second on Mack Avenue Records' Sly Dog sublabel, was released. Mr. Bassett fell ill in July and had been hospitalized for less than a month. The soft-spoken guitarist was a human link to Detroit's musical glory days, having played behind such talents as Little Willie John, John Lee Hooker and Dinah Washington during Detroit's vibrant 1950s, and on early sessions for Smokey Robinson & the Miracles (for Chess and Tamla). Mr. Bassett was also a session guitarist for Fortune Records, where he played behind Andre Williams, the Diablos and the Five Dollars. Chris Codish played keyboards in Bassett's most recent band, the Blues Insurgents, and co-produced his last two albums. "He was the jazz/blues gentleman," Codish said. "He may not have gotten the popular acclaim, but the musicians knew, he was inspirational. I had so many nights playing music with him that were transcendent experiences." Because the veteran musician didn't complain of pain, the recurrence of his cancer took his bandmates by surprise. "The music kept him going," Codish said. "We'd sometimes start the night and he'd say, 'Oh, I'm not feeling it' or whatever, but by the end of the night, he'd be smiling and feeling good. The beautiful thing about music is, it heals you." Mr. Bassett was born in Marianna, Fla., on Oct. 9, 1935. The Bassetts moved to Detroit in 1944, and while he was still a student at Northwestern High School, Mr. Bassett started playing guitar at talent shows, theaters and nightclubs around Detroit with a friend, pianist Joe Weaver. Mr. Bassett, Weaver and their group, the Blue Notes, were rehearsing in the back room of Joe von Battle's Hastings Street record store when they inadvertently made their first record ? von Battle had a tape recorder going. "The record '15:40 Special' came out of that, released on Deluxe," Mr. Bassett recalled. Mr. Bassett and the Blue Notes were playing hotspots such as Basin Street East and the Frolic Showbar before they were old enough to drink. Once, R&B legend Dinah Washington found herself stranded at the Frolic without her band. "Dinah said, 'Well, all these people are here, so the show must go on. Do you guys play any blues?'" Mr. Bassett remembered. "'That's what we do.'" After serving in the Army from 1958-60, Bassett stayed in Seattle, playing in an organ trio, and soon met Jimi Hendrix. "He used to come sit in," Mr. Bassett said. "Guitar Shorty was headlining, then we'd do the blues session, then (Hendrix would) do little funky stuff." His career got a boost when he signed with Mack Avenue's Sly Dog label in 2009, and he was a favorite of label owner Gretchen Valade. After she heard his rendition of Ray Charles' "Georgia on My Mind," Valade insisted that he include it on his album "The Gentleman is Back." Mr. Bassett is survived by his wife, Deborah; a daughter, Benita Litt; as well as children Lynn Cole, Courtney Campbell and Kenneth Pringle; a sister, Louise Lawson; and brothers William Bassett and Jimmie Studdard. | Bassett, Johnnie Alexander (I22)

| 45874 | The Eagle, Bryan-College Station, Texas, Sunday, March 7, 2021 George Bass December 9, 1932 ? March 2, 2021 George F. Bass, pioneering underwater archaeologist and Texas A&M Distinguished Professor Emeritus, died Tuesday March 2 in Bryan, Texas, at 88. His wife Ann was by his side. George was many things: an archaeologist, a professor, an Army veteran, an author, a chronicler of family history, a husband, a father and grandfather. He was a lover of opera, a writer of opinionated letters, a teller of stories always told with a twinkle in his eye. George was born on December 9, 1932, in Columbia, South Carolina, to Robert Duncan Bass and Virginia Wauchope Bass. He grew up primarily in Annapolis, Maryland. In 1955 he received an M.A. in Near Eastern Archaeology from Johns Hopkins University, after which he spent two years at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Greece. He served two years in the U.S. Army in Korea and was honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant in 1959. In 1960 he married Ann Singletary in Greenville, South Carolina. In 1964 he received a Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from the University of Pennsylvania. George believed that it would be possible to excavate on the seabed to the same exacting scientific standards as on land. While a graduate student, he learned to scuba dive, and in 1960 he directed a team that excavated the remains of a Bronze Age shipwreck off Cape Gelidonya, on the southern coast of Turkey. It was the first ancient shipwreck to be excavated in its entirety on the seabed. This pioneering effort led to the establishment of underwater archaeology as an academic discipline and was the beginning of a 50-year career of fieldwork, teaching, publishing, and lecturing around the world.In 1973, after teaching at Penn for eight years, he founded the Institute of Nautical Archaeology, which is devoted to bringing history to light through the scientific study of shipwrecks. The Institute became affiliated with Texas A&M in 1976, and in the same year the Nautical Archaeology Program was established at the university. George taught at Texas A&M from 1976 until his retirement in 2000, and INA continues to support projects around the world. George supported passage of the Abandoned Shipwrecks Act of 1987, which protects historic shipwrecks from treasure hunters and salvagers. He believed that archaeological sites under water should be given the same protection as sites on land. In his testimony before Congress, he pointed out that "you can't tear apart the Alamo and sell the pieces for souvenirs."Most of George's field work was in Turkey, a country he came to love. He treasured his friends and colleagues there, and eventually built a home in Bodrum near INA headquarters. He and Ann spent long periods there, especially after his retirement. George was a man with endless energy. He published prodigiously; he wrote or edited seven books and his work was often featured in National Geographic Magazine and in media around the world. He was equally proud of being called "an underwater Indiana Jones" by TIME magazine and of being awarded the National Medal of Science by George W. Bush in 2001. Although he spent most of his career diving on and studying ancient shipwrecks, he was equally thrilled to visit the wreck of the Titanic on a research expedition in 2003. Among his many honors were the National Medal of Science, the National Geographic Centennial Award, the Gold Medal for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement from the Archaeological Institute of America, and membership in the American Philosophical Society. George was a generous scholar, providing his students with opportunities for field work and publishing. He inspired many to follow in his footsteps and was proud of their successes. He adored his sons and grandsons. He is survived by his wife Ann; his son Gordon, wife Jennifer and children Henry and Charles; and son Alan. Those wishing to do so may make contributions to the INA Foundation (https://nauticalarch.org/ina-foundation/), a non-profit charitable organization that helps fund different aspects of INA's work, including student scholarships, archaeology and fieldwork grants, INA's research vessel, and INA's research center in Bodrum, Turkey. The Bryan-College State Eagel, March 4, 2021 George Bass George Bass, 88, of College Station, passed away Tuesday, March 2, 2021. Family is being served by Callaway-Jones Funeral and Cremation Centers. | Bass, George Fletcher (I301)

| 45875 | The Eagle, Bryan-College Station, Texas, Thursday, January 23, 2020 Nancy Lee (Taylor) Bass April 29, 1929 ? January 17, 2020 Nancy Lee (Taylor) Bass went home with her Jesus and reunited with the love of her life on Friday, January 17, 2020 at the age of 90. She has been a resident of Legacy Nursing and Waldenbrooke Estates, moving from Mt. Vernon, Texas in 2013 to be near her daughter. Nancy Lee Taylor was born April 29, 1929, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Lloyd Houston Taylor and Helen Shirley Taylor. She lived and was educated in St. Louis her entire childhood, living in the same apartment in inner-city St. Louis, next door to her "Nana" and two aunts, while her dad worked for the city of St. Louis. She accepted Christ as a young girl and attended Sunday school at Grace Presbyterian Church. She was baptized and became a member of the Baptist Faith after her marriage. She was a beautiful, strong and vibrant young lady, surviving cancer at the age of 14. Her dad died when she was 15, and she began working at Sears while in high school. When she was sixteen, she attended a Halloween party at her church. There she met a handsome young man, named Joe, from Texas. To say the least, she was smitten. They began a courtship that would last as she finished high school and Joe's family moved back to Texas. On June 11, 1947, Nancy graduated from Ben Blewett High School and married Joe on Friday, June 13, 1947. They moved to Texas the next day. Nancy was one of the most supportive wives a man could have. She was truly a Proverbs 31 woman. She cooked, cleaned, sewed and could stretch a dollar further than anyone. Being a city girl, she didn't know anything about small town, country living, but she was a quick learner. She learned to garden, can food, even milk cows, feed livestock and baby calves. Early in their marriage, they lived in a small travel trailer with two small children as Joe was working in the oil fields. During that time, Joe surrendered to the ministry and the journey changed directions. Joe went back to school to finish his college degree, and Nancy worked at Sears in accounting, supporting the family as Joe studied. After graduation, Nancy became a full-time wife and mother adding to their family with four more children. They moved numerous times as Joe taught school and pastored rural churches. In 1964, they moved to Franklin County where Nancy again adapted to their lives and worked alongside Joe. She was the consummate pastor's wife, doing whatever was needed at their churches, cooking meals, teaching children, even learning to play the piano. She was present for every activity her children were involved in, and present to help out when grand babies started to arrive. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren, thinking they were the BEST!! She is preceded in death by her husband of 69 years, Joe; her parents; her sister, Shirley; infant brother Paul; in-laws, Fred & Buena Bass; two brothers-in-law, Elwyn and Roger Bass. She is survived by three sons and their spouses, Byron & Sufran Bass; Tim & Martha Bass; Brad and Jodi Bass; adopted son of the heart, Siriporn na Rajasima; three daughters and spouses, Janeth & Jerry Ellis; Jerri Roemer; Jolene & Russell Beaty. She also leaves behind a legacy of 16 grandchildren whom she adored and 20 great-grandchildren; one brother-in-law and wife, George & Gloria Bass, her sisters' daughter, Pam & Bill Yeargain & and a host of nieces and nephews in her "Bass" family. Nancy leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, and Christian devotion to her Lord and Savior. As her memory faded, she could still quote scriptures and knew all verses of every hymn and gospel song. We will dearly miss that strong, precious woman. Services for Nancy will be 2 p.m. Saturday, January 25, 2020 at Sam Harvey Funeral Home, 409 Kaufman St., Mt. Vernon, Texas with graveside services at Monticello Cemetery, Franklin County. Family Visitation will be from 6:00-8:00 Friday, January 24, 2020 at the funeral home.

His parents were farmers and school teachers so Joe had a real appreciation for family, hard work and education. He started going to school with his mother in a one room school when he was 4 and he graduated in 1944 at the age of 15. At that time his family moved to St. Louis, Mo. where he met the love of his life, Nancy Lee Taylor. Their courtship lasted 3 years, even after his family moved back to Texas. When Nancy graduated from high school, he went back to St. Louis, married her and brought her to Texas. They recently celebrated their 69th anniversary. Joe's career path took many turns throughout his life. He first worked in the oil fields in west Texas. He felt the call to the ministry and decided to continue his education at Texas Tech University where he graduated in 1954. He began to teach mathematics, pastor his first church and start his seminary education at Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth. When his parents were in a severe car accident he ended his seminary education to care for them. He continued to teach while earning a Masters of Science in Math Education from Southeastern Oklahoma University. In 1964, he moved his family to Franklin County which he always considered home. In Mt. Vernon he taught math at Mt. Vernon ISD and served as pastor of several area churches including, Calvary Baptist, Macon Baptist, New Hope Baptist, and Cypress Baptist. After he retired from teaching, he had a dairy farm and continued to pastor. Throughout his life, Joe mentored many lives both locally and across the state with a soft voice, strong values, and unyielding integrity. Those same values made him a wonderful father and grandfather who will be greatly missed. He leaves quite a legacy and will be remembered by many.

| 45880 | The East Hampton Star, East Hampton, N.Y., June 22, 1978 The Chairman of the Fair (Picture of Cora Sweeting included) Cora Sweeting, a lively, sharp-eyed woman, who has been a church worker, first with the Community Church in Montauk and, for the past 34 years, with the Amagansett Presbyterian Church, was honored at a dinner recently by the Amagansett congregation. ?They decided they couldn?t make it a surprise,? Mrs. Sweeting said the other day. ?After all of the pomp and ceremony I told them why they have me the party: They wanted me to be chairman of the fair again. I?ve threatened to quit for the past ten years.? ?I think?, said Mrs. Sweeting, in answer to a question, ?that I?ve been chairman of the fair since 1960. We kept the Church going for a long time just with the fair and the cake sales and rummage sales.? Ecumenical Spirit She said, replying to another question, that she thought she had ?worked under ten ministers in this Church.? One of the first of her acquaintance she chauffeured on his first day to Montauk where he was also to preach, and then to East Hampton, where she introduced him to the Episcopalian minister, leaving the new minister ?flabbergasted? by her ecumenical spirit. Questioned on the subject, Mrs. Sweeting, who had proferred tasty cookies and tea, said, ?I think we?re heading for a revival. The Church is coming together. People are putting aside denominations. I think we?ll find out that it?s the same God over all of us.? She said she viewed greed as perhaps the worst sin. ?Greed is what is ruining this country,? she said. ?Greed, selfishness, it?s the worst sin. You see it right from the top; yeah, right ? Congress.? Fishing Community In contrast to the grasping world she now saw, Mrs. Sweeting recalled fondly Montauk?s fishing village on For Pond Bay where she spent part of her youth and early married life. ?It was like a happy family there. There were mainly one-story houses. They went all the way around from Tuthill?s, right around. The land was leased from the Long Island Raid Road. It was so nice because everyone knew everyone else. If somebody wanted to have a dance, you?d pass the word. There was a YMCA above Duryea?s, on the hill. They had a Victrola. We went up and danced and had a terrific time.? ?The ?38 hurricane wrecked it pretty much. During the War, the Navy took it over. Everybody moved; so we moved up here.? Mrs. Sweeting, in 1922, married John Sweeting, and Englishman from the Bahamas, who until his death in 1960 captained sportfishing boats here and in Florida. ?The Best? ?There?s his boat, the Ranger,? she said, showing a visitor a photo album replete with pictures of happy sport-fishermen posing with prize marlin, tuna, and swordfish. ?We lost it over to Maidstone in the 1944 storm. The tide came up so high, a pile went through it.? She said of her husband, with a smile, ?He always caught the most fish, the best fish, and the biggest fish.? Had she ever fished? ?Nope. Never caught a fish in my life. John was such a good fisherman, to this day, I can?t hardly bring myself to buy a fish.? Among those who went out with Mr. Sweeting was Ernest Hemingway. ?He reminded me of a tobacco farmer,? Mrs. Sweeting said, when asked for her opinion of the writer. ?Mrs. Hemingway learned to drive on our lawn in Key West.? ?I was born up here in my grandmother?s house,?, Mrs. Sweeting, whose maiden name was Bassett, said, replying to a question. ?That was in December of 1904. I?m an old lady. My father had a farm at First House in Montauk, where the cemetery is at Hither Hills. There was so much snow that my father had to drive a team of Montauk on the shore. I was two-weeks-old then, but I always insisted that I remembered the trip.? Changes ?We didn?t stay at First House long. Everybody had sheep then. The sheep my father had got into his corn, and he had to quit. After that he fished in Montauk during the summer, and we came back here for school in the winter.? Mrs. Sweeting said that she and her family were in Florida ? where her husband worked in the wintertime ? when Carl Fisher began his transformation of Montauk. ?When we came back we couldn?t believe it,? she said. ?As far as I?m concerned, he spoiled Montauk. Montauk isn?t Montauk since the fishing village disappeared.? ?I liked Florida,? she said, ?for a few months. We sued to stay six months. I always wanted to get back on Abraham?s Path and feel the northwest breeze.? | Bassett, Cora B. (P6)
