| 47464 | The Niagara Falls Gazette, Monday, August 23, 1915 Marriage Ceremony Enables Youth to Leave Lockup Walter Horner, 18, and Ethel Bassett, 17, are Wed Guardians Give Consent ? Both Working in Buffalo Walter Horner and Ethel Bassett were yesterday married by the Rev. A. S. Bacon, at the parsonage of the First Presbyterian church. The couple were under age but special permission was given them by parents and guardians to permit the ceremony to proceed in the regular manner. The marriage license was issued yesterday afternoon and was the first official act of City Clerk Thomas H. Hogan upon that official?s return from a convention o9f municipal clerks at Troy. The Horners remained overnight at the home of the bridegroom?s mother in Fourth street and today arranged to go to Buffalo where Horner is said to have employment. The marriage of the twain is the culmination of a romance involving the elopement of the girl, who is under seventeen years old, from the home of her uncle, Claude Webster, No. 29 West Niagara street, with Horner who is only eighteen two weeks ago. The youth was forbidden in the Webster home when he essayed to pay his attentions to the young girl. They planned to elope and go to Detroit, where they hoped to find employment. In Buffalo their funds ran low and Horner was given employment the remuneration for which enabled the pair to enjoy no better luxuries than the cheap loding houses. During the wet spell of last week the girl was caught in a heavy shower and her clothing was soaked. In order to get out on the street with her companion Saturday the girl donned a suit of Horners clothing and walked down Franklin street where she was detected by a policeman who proved his suspicions she was not adapted to the wearing of man?s attire. The girl fessed up she was the one being sought by the Niagara Falls police and she and Horner were detained pending the arrival of an officer from this city. Horner was charged with abduction. Following the return of the couple the mother of the youth and guardians of the girl conferred and all agreed it would be well to have the marriage ceremony and settle all difficulties. Buffalo Courier, Monday, August 23, 1915 Falls Eloper Discard Fiance?s Old Trousers For Trim Bridal Suit Boy and Girl Whom Police of Buffalo Picke Up on Saturday Are Granted Parental Forgiveness and Wedding Bells Soon Ring Arrayed in a trim, bridal traveling suit ? a costume wholly different from the silly-creased trousers and baggy boy?s jacket she was wearing when arrested in Main street last Saturday ? sixteen-year-old Ethel Bassett and eighteen-year-old Walter Horner left police headquarters at Niagara Falls yesterday morning and a few hours later were united in marriage by the Rev. A.F. Bacon, pastor of First Presbyterian church. Thus ended a romance that started two weeks ago with hopes, cinders, bad food ?I.O.U?s.? and the purple light of love. Tired of playing the bachelor, Walter has finally launched upon the sea of matrimony. Clerk Thomas Hogan, who went out of his way yesterday morning to get the license papers for the pairs, states the rites were most tender. Walter publicly announced he now intends to get a job. With the typing of the knot, the charges of abduction against Walter are withdrawn, and when the case is called in Niagara Falls police court this morning it will draw smiles and a blue pencil, but no defendant or complainant. Policeman Britt of Franklin street station, is historian for the elpoment story which terminated Saturday, when he noticed Ethel?s trousers were built for three like her, and her feet were petite. She and Walter were going along Main street as blissful as could be, when Britt stopped them. Brief conversation convinced Britt they were the boy and girl reported to have eloped from Niagara Falls two weeks ago, and for whom the police were looking. When he lifted the girl?s blue serge cap, and her blonde hair dropped in a cascade, he know he was right. Ethel wept, but at the Franklin street station she told of how she and Walter had eloped two weeks before, and were simply awaiting sunny skies and plethoric purses before seeking the shrine of Hymen. She admitted dhe was wearing a suit of her sweetheart?s, because her only dress had become soaked with rain and she feared to venture forth in its clinging folds. Horner says his fiance?s parents are dead and she has been living with her aunt and uncle in Niagara falls. He said he had been forbidden to visit his sweetheart, so they ran away. Detroit was the destination, where the young man believed he could get steady work. Since arrival in Buffalo, they had braved the nightmare of cheap boarding-house fodder and smelly rooms. They found employment selling novelties for a specialty house and were wondering whether their love affair would ever progress beyond the tought buckwheat cake stage, when the big rain fell and Ethel sallied forth in an extra suite of her soulmate?s. The girl?s feminine gait proved fatal ? or fortunate. The Buffalo police decided to hold Walter for abduction, and notified Chief of Police Lyons of Niagara Falls. Lyons sent a detective here for the pair. Yesterday morning, accompanied by parents and relatives, the prodigals sought the license clerk and then called upon the parson. Having enunciated the pledge of ?with all my worldly goods I thee endow,? Walter kissed his bride and agreed it isn?t such a bad old world. Niagara Falls Gazette, Thursday, April 23, 1942 Falls Women Gets Divorce Mrs. Ethel Lilly, of 120 Sixty-ninth street, this city, was awarded a divorce from Forney B. Lilly by Referee Clinton T. Horton in Buffalo yesterday. They were married in 1934. | Bassett, Ethyl (I31939)

Mom watched America change from the early car Ford Model T to most of us owning our individual cars; along with the ownership of television sets, computers, and wireless cell phones; as well as advances in Internet communication, worldwide travel via jets, the first flight around the world by Wiley Post of Oklahoma, Chuck Yeager flying faster than the speed of sound, the development of aircraft carrier ships, nuclear bombs, Ayn Rands? ?Atlas Shrugged? description of the destructive forces of socialism, the decipherment of the genetic code (DNA), heart transplants, and six trips to the moon by 12 American astronauts (Armstrong, Aldrin, Conrad, Bean, Shepard, Mitchell, Scott, Irwin, Young, Duke, Cernan and Schmitt). Visitation will be Friday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Havenbrook Funeral Home at 3401 Havenbrook St. in Norman. The burial will be private.

| 47469 | The North Adams Transcript, Massachusetts, Saturday, 27 February 1937 Lewis Writes Of Florida Native Homer Franklin Bassett, Famed Entomologist And Librarian Although College Education Ambition Was Thwarted Yale Made Him Honorary M.A. Homer Franklin Bassett, a native of the neighboring town of Florida, who, although thwarted in his ambition to obtain a college education, acquired a trans-atlantic reputation as and entomologist, developed the Bronson library at Waterbury, Ct., and was awarded the honorary degree of M.A. by Yale university in recognition of his scholarly attainments, is the subject of the latest article by Attorney Joseph Ward Lewis of Pittsfield in his series on ?Berkshire Men of Worth.? The article follows: In 1849, compelled by ill health to leave the College Preparatory School at Oberlin, O., before he had completed his first yar, Homer Franklin Bassett, managed to exchange some recently purchased college text books for a copy of Wood?s Botany. He read the book and threading proved to be the turning point in his life. It opened a new world, fascinating in the extreme and the study of botany and kindred branches of natural history from that time occupied all the leisure hours in his busy life. Mr. Bassett was born in Florida in this county on Sept. 2, 1836 and died in Waterbury, Conn., on June 28, 1902; he was buried there in the Riverside cemetery. He was the son of Ezra and Keziah (Watt) Bassett. When the boy was 10 years old he went with his parents to Ohio and settled on a farm in Rockport. Until he was 20 years of age he worked on the farm; he had some schooling and spent a few terms at Berea Seminary where he worked to pay his expenses. Later he attended the preparatory school at Oberlin and, industrious and eager to get an education, he overworked and had to give up0 his long cherished plant for a college course. He taught school in Ohio and Connecticut for many years and for a time was in the real estate and insurance business at Waterbury, Conn. About 1862 he began to study insect life, confining his research almost entirely to those which produced gall. He discovered and described about 100 species and pointed out many interesting and important facts regarding their habits. His skill as an entomologist acquired for him a trans-atlantic reputation in that, his favorite field of study. He was familiar with most of the flowering plants of Wester New England, Northern Ohio and Eastern Kansas. In 1870 the Silas Bronson Library was founded in Waterbury and Mr. Bassett applied for the position of librarian. W. I. Fletcher was considered to have a prior claim and he was appointed. He resigned, however, in August 1872 and Mr. Bassett took his place. The Bronson Library had some 13,000 volumes when he became librarian, but their arrangement, classification and cataloguing did not met the new librarian?s approval; he made an entirely new arrangement and classification of the books and devised a system of cataloguing and installed it, to the gratification of the library?s regents and its patrons. They system adopted was the Dewey with slight modifications. The original building which had been built for the library proved much too small and a new building was erected and occupied in 1894. Mr. Bassett made many suggestions as to the choice of the lot, size of the building, its heating, lighting and ventilating systems. The number of books in the library increased to almost 100,000 during his service as librarian. He retired in 1901. He gave his berbarium of 1600 plants to the Bronson library. Yale university awarded an honorary degree of M.A. on Mr. Bassett June 17, 1894 in recognition of his scholarly acquirements and his service of over 20 years at the Bronson library. The degree was conferred by President Timothy Dwight. (This President Dwight was the grandson of an earlier President Timothy Dwight of Yale whose mother, was Mary, daughter of Jonathan Edwards, the great theologian of Stockbridge.) He was town treasurer for one years, member of the board of education for many years, and of the board of school visitors; he was a member of the executive board of the Waterbury English & Classical school; and secretary of the Waterbury Temperance Union; one of the original members of Citizens? Engine Co. 2, of the volunteer fire department; one of the original members of the Scientific Society; corresponding secretary of the Naturalists? club; member of the Board of Court martial of the Chatfield Guard. In connection with library work he assisted in organizing Poole?s Index, his assignment consisting of indexing 50-60 volumes of the Edinburgh Review went to him by the American Library Association. Mr. Bassett was married three times, May 21, 1848 to Sarah A. Tomlinson, who died Aug. 4 of the same year; April 8, 1856 to Lovina Alcott, niece of the famous Dr. William Alcott; she died Aug. 11, 1880; and on July 17, 1884 he married Margaret D. Judd. He was the father of two daughters, Antoinette Alcott and Helen Margaret Bassett and one son, Frank Alcott. A portrait of Mr. Bassett hangs on the wall of the Bronson library; it shows a fine face with no mustache but long and perfectly white beard. 1850 Federal Census of Rockport Township, Cuyahoga County, Ohio (23 Oct 1850) Ezra Bassett - 51 - M - Massachusetts - Farmer 3200 Abigail(?) - 45 - F - Massachusetts Homer - 23 - M - Massachusetts - Farmer Henry - 21 - M - Massachusetts Charles - 16 - M - Massachusetts Dwight - 14 - M - Massachusetts John - 13 - M - Ohio Marilla - 18 - F - Massachusetts Elizabeth - 9 - F - Ohio 1880 Federal Census of Waterbury, New Haven County, Connecticut Homer F.

He brought with him his family consisting of wife, Kesiah DeWitt Bassett, and five children, Homer, Henry, Marilla, Charles and Dwight. Three other children were born in Ohio, Elizabeth, John and William. In coming to Ohio, they travelled by wagon from Florida, Massachusetts to Albany, New York From Albany to Buffalo via the Erie canal and from Buffalo to Cleveland by steam boat. They settled on a farm of fifty-seven acres on the corner of Puritas Springs Boulevard and Grayton Road. Houses that they lived in are still standing. They bought land on both sides of Rocky River Drive, a fifty acre parcel on the West Side and Barber property of about one hundred acres. When Ezra Bassett died they were living in a pretty home in Brooklyn Village, now a part of Cleveland. The children were brought up in a Christian home. Each day was reverently begun by the reading of Scriptures and followed by all kneeling in prayer. Several of the children attended Oberlin College. They attended a Baptist church which stood on the corner of Riverside Drive and Lorain Road and later they attended the church now known as the West Park Congregational Church. Ezra Bassett was a deacon in the church and held civic ofices. Homer Bassett went back to New England and was city librarian in Waterbury, Connecticut for many years. He was also an author. Henry joined the "forty niners" to California in search of gold. He made his home in California. Marilla married Lorin Nichols and stayed in Rockport as did her sister Elizabeth who married Charles Jordan. Charles and Dwight lived on the farms in Rocky River Drive. John enlisted in the Civil War, was taken ill and died and his body was sent home for burial. A group of his comrades paid the expenses but Grandfather showed his appreciation by sending back to them one hundred dollars. William, the youngest, also settled in Rockport. Above the fireplace in the old house, and on either side were cupboards where grandmother kept good things to eat. Before we could talk, we used to point up to where the raisin cake was kept, and such cake and such bread I have never tasted anything so good since. Cleveland Plain Dealer, July 2, 1902 Homer F. Bassett Dead Well Known Entomologist and Former Resident of Rockport Special to the Plain Dealer WATERBURY, Ct., July 1 - Homer F. Bassett, a former citizen of Rockport, O., died here today, aged seventy-six years. He was an educator at Berea and Oberlin college, settling in Rockport on a farm. His winters were spent in teaching in Ohio and his summers upon his Rockport farm. He was a noted entomologist and author of several standard works on this branch of science. The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography (Picture included) Bassett, Homer Franklin, librarian, was born at Florida, Berkshire co., Mass., Sept. 2, 1826, son of Ezra and Keziah (Witt) Bassett. When he was ten years old he removed with his parents to Ohio and settled on a farm in Rockport. He worked on the farm until he was twenty years old, enjoying limited school advantages, although by working to pay his expenses while at school he spent a few terms at the Berea Seminary. Later he was a student in the College Preparatory School at Oberlin for nearly a year. Overwork, however, obliged him not only to leave the school a few weeks before the end of the year, but forced him to give up his long cherished plan of taking a college course. In 1849, when leaving Oberlin, he managed to exchange some recently purchased college text-books for a copy of "Wood's Botany". This simple act proved to be a turning point in his life. The book opened to him a new world, and the study of botany and kindred branches of natural history from that time occupied the leisure hours of a busy life. His health remained poor, he spent the next summer in western Massachusetts, and in the fall visited relatives in Connecticut. Here he was urged to teach the winter school in a small district in the town of Wolcott. This was the beginning of his work as a teacher. He spent sixteen years in the schoolroom, the last eight in a large private school in Waterbury, Conn. About 1862 he began the study of insect life, confining himself almost entirely to the gall-producing insects of the Hymenoptera and Cynipidae. He discovered and described a large number of species, and learned several interesting and important facts regarding their habits. When the Silas Bronson Library was founded in 1870 he appled for the position of librarian. Mr. W.I. Fletcher was appointed, however, as having a prior claim, but when he resigned in August, 1872, Mr. Bassett was asked to take his place. He found in the Bronson library in 1872, about 13,000 volumes. These he rearranged, catalogued, and classified to the gratification of the board of regents and the public, and instituted many reforms in the conduct of the routine management. The origiinal building in which the books were kept being much too small, a new library building was erected and occupied in 1894. During his service as librarian, the number of volumes increased to nearly 100,000. Yale University graduated him M.A. in 1894. Mr. Bassett was married three times: (1) May 1, 1848, to Sarah A. Tomlinson; (2) Apr. 8, 1855, to Lovina Alcott; (3) July 17, 1884, to Margaret D. Judd. He was the father of two daughters, Antionette Alcott and Helen Margaret Bassett. He died in Waterbury, Conn., June 28, 1902. | Bassett, Homer Franklin (I1519)

| 47472 | The North Devon Journal, England, 15 December 1870 Death of Arthur Davie Bassett, Esq., of Watermouth Castle We have to announce the sudden and unexpected death of Arthur Davie Bassett, Esq., J.P., of Watermouth Castle, which occurred at his residence early on Friday morning last. The deceased gentleman had just recovered from a severe attack of gout and was in more than usual good health and spirits when he retired to rest on Thursday night. Between three and four o?clock on Friday morning he was suddenly seized with illness and a messenger was dispatched for Mr. Stabb, surgeon, of Ilfracombe, but before medical assistance arrived he was dead. The Bassett family is one of great antiquity, and of Royal blood. Colonel Arthur Bassett, from whom the late Mr. Arthur Davie Bassett was directly descended, was the eldest son of Sir Robert Bassett, by Elizabeth, second daughter and co-heir of Sir William Perream, Kt., Chief Baron of the Exchequer; who was eldest son of Sir Arthur Bassett, by Elnora, daughter of Sr. John Chichester; who was eldest son of John Bassett, Esq. of Umberleigh and Heanton Court, by Frances, daughter and co-heir of Arthur Plantagenet, Viscount of Lisle, natural son of King Edward IV. At one period there were no less than four of the family who were Barons of Parliament, and of these one barony still exists, and is held by the present Baroness de Dunstanville. Sir Alan Bassett, from whom Colonel Bassett was descended, had given him by Sir William Peverel, of Samford, the manors of Whitechapel and La Heyne, in the parish of Bishopsnympton, on his marriage with his sister Lucia, and for a great number of years the family residence was at Whitechapel, until the reign of Henry VIII, when John, the son of Sir William Bassett, married Joan, daughter of Sir Thomas Beaumont, and sister and heir of Philip Beaumont, of Sherwill, who brought into the family the seats of Umberleigh, in the parish of Atherington (or Adrington, as it was formerly called ?From the abundance of woods and groves which heretofore were round about it and did overshadow it?), and Heanton Court. Sir Robert Bassett (the Colonel?s father) resided at the latter place, and Prince, in his ?Worthies of Devon? remarks of it ? ?A sweet and pleasant seat it is; a very handsome pile, well furnished with all variety of entertainment which the earth and sea and air can afford.?. Sir Robert, being by his grandmother, descended form the Plantagenets, and of the blood royal, in the beginning of the reign of James I., laid claim to the Crown of England; but not being able to make good his pretensions he was compelled to fly into France to save his head. He was obliged to sell thirty manors of land to free himself. Col. Bassett was educated at Oxford, and is said to have been a man of high attainments. He married a daughter of Leigh, of Borough, in the parish of Northam, who brought with her a considerable estate. In the reign of Charles I, he was one of the officers called upon to defend the rights of the crown, and was made by the King Governor of Barnstaple, which, however, surrendered to General Fairfax after he had taken Exeter. On the accession of Charles II, he had restored to him the possessions which he had, through his loyalty, forfeited. His biographers speak of him as a man of untarnished character,, and devoted loyalty. He died at Heanton, in his 75th years, and was buried in the Parish Church, where there is a fine monument to his memory. Watermouth, the present family seat, was purchased by J.D. Bassett Esq. in 1712. The late Mr. Bassett was the eldest son of the late Joseph Davie Bassett, Esq., formerly Chairman of Quarter Sessions for the County. He was the owner of extensive estates in the North of Devon, being lord of the manors of Berrynarbor, Umberleigh, and Highbickington, East Hagginton, and Woolscott. The rectory of the former parish in the is in the alternate gift of the family. The deceased gentleman was one of the most liberal of landlords, and the poor in his immediate neighborhood have by his death lost a kind friend. He preferred to live on his own property rather than spend his time and money amongst strangers, an example which might be copied by many of our North Devon landowners to the great advantage of themselves and those living on their estates. The deceased (who was in his 70th year) leaves and only son ? the Rev. Arthur E. Bassett; and two daughter, the eldest of whom married Charles Henry Williams, Esq., Mp>p., of Pilton House, Barnstaple. He has also two surviving brothers and a sister: John David bassett, Esq., M.D., Rev. Francis Davie Bassett, Rector of Heanton Punchardon, and Lady Scott (wife of the last Sir. W. Scott), of Waterford. The funeral took place on Monday, and the remains of the deceased gentleman were followed to the grave by a large number of relatives and friends, together with a number of the tenantry. The principal mourners were: Rev. Arthur Bassett (son of the deceased), Chas. Henry Williams, Esq., M.P. (son-in-law); Rev. Francis Bassett, Rector of Heanton (brother); John Bassett, Esq, Ide, Col Scott, Capt Scott, George Scott, Esq. and W.H. B. Coham, Esq., Dunsland (nephews). Amount the other gentlemen present were: Sir Frederick Williams, Bart., M.P., Thoms Hooper Law, Esq., Thomas Sheppard Law, Esq. (Barnstaple), Henr Dene, Esq. (Ley House, Marwood), Lieut. G. Davie, R.A. (Bishopstawton), Thomas Stabb, Esq. (Ilfracombe), Rev. H.W. Toms (Combmartin), Thomas Lock, Esq., and George Lock, Esq. (Instow). The burial service was performed by the Rev. Watler Fursdon, Rector of Berrynarbor. | Basset, Arthur Davie (I620)

| 47499 | The obituary for Nymphas is found in the Shelbyville, Indiana Republican, 4 January 1874. Oliver Clemens Basse ! !------------------!---------------- V V Nymphas Bassett Thankful Ann Bruce ! ! !-----!-----! !-----!-----! Rufus Jedidah Bassett Handy Nymphas Bassett, the fourth child of Rufus and Jedidah (Handy) Bassett, was born in Benson, Rutland County, Vermont on 7 Mar 1785. Ruf Bassett, his wife, and their family including son Nymphas, moved from Vermont across Lake Champlain to settle in Jay, Essex County, New York about the year 1800. He married Thankful Ann Bruce, possibly the daughter of Benjamin and Philadelphia (Wheeler) Bruce, about 1806 in Keeseville, Jay Township, Essex County, New York. Their first two children, Barnabas and Jonah, were born in New York. Nymphas, his wife, and their two young sons moved to Highland County, Ohio early in 1814. Their son Sylvester was born on 24 Mar 1814 on an Ohio river flatboat while en route from New York to Ohio. Nymphas and h family lived in Ohio for six years. Four more children were born in Ohi Nymphas Bassett and family moved to Shelby County, Indiana around 1820, when this was little more than a wilderness, and when the red man was a frequent visitor at his humble cabin. He lived in Shelby County until about 1 month before his death when he started west for Arkansas, for the purpo himself said, of assisting in the settlement of a new country. He di Taney County, Missouri on 16 Oct 1873, aged 88 years. Nymphas shows in the Original Shelby County Land Purchasers on 27 Aug 1823. Nymphas Bassett bought the family homestead in Marion Township, Shelby County, Indiana from the US Government in 1828 at one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre. He was among the first permanent white settlers in this part of the state. The country was wild and heavily timbered and to clear land and fit it for cultivation required hard, continuous labor. The Bassetts cleared a number of acres in Marion Township, the original homestead on one hundr eighty five acres being one of the finest and most valuable farms in the county. Nymphas Bassett was a man of high standing and wide influence in his community, and for many years ranked among the successful farmers and representative citizens of the township in which he lived. Ardently religious and a leading member of the Mount Pisgah Baptist Church and the First Regular Baptist Church on East Washington Street, he took an active interest in spreading the truths of the Gospel among the settlements of Shelby and adjacent counties and to him, more perhaps than to any other, was due t early growth and subsequent advancement of the Baptist denomination in Shelbyville and various other localities. He made and donated the brick for the original Baptist Church on East Washington Street, Shelbyville, and when the college at Franklin, the leading educational institution of that denomination in Indiana, was about to be sold for debt, he rode on horseback from Shelbyville to the latter place, a distance of twenty-one miles, in time to bid it off and turn it over free of encumbrance to the proper authorities. For this and other meritorious acts he greatly endeared himself to his denomination and his name is still revered in Baptist circles throughout the state as one of the champions and liberal patrons to the church during the time of its trials and struggles in the Middle West. This good man and his faithful wife lived together until an advanced age, and when the latter died the husband was so overwhelmed with grief that he determined, if possible, to seek relief in new scenes under new circumstances. Accordingly at the old age of ninety-one years he disposed of his interests in Shelby County and started overland for Arkansas. 1810 Federal Census of Town of Jay, Essex County, New York Nymphas Bassett 00100-30100 Rufus Bassett 00101-00101 1820 UNITED STATES CENSUS Jackson Township, Highland County, Oh Male 4 Und Male 1 Male 1 45 & Ov Female 1 26 - 45 1830 UNITED STATES CENSUS Marion Township, Shelby County, India Male 2 Und Male 1 Male 1 Male 2 Male 1 Female 2 Und Female 1 40 - 50 1840 UNITED STATES CENSUS Marion Township, Shelby County, India Male 1 Und Male 1 Male 2 Male 1 Female 1 Female 1 Female 1 40 - 50 1850 Federal Census of Marion Township, Shelby County, Indiana Nymphas Bassett 66 M Vermont Farmer 5000 Thankful Bassett 62 F Massachusetts Nymphas Bassett 29 M Ohio Rufus Bassett 20 M Indiana Nymphas W.

Mr. Bassett settled in Shelby County, Indiana, in the Spring of 1824, when this was little else than a wilderness, and when the red man was not an infrequent visitor at his humble cabin. He lived here, watching the wondrous transformation through which the county has passed, continuously, until about one month previous to his death, when he started west, for the purpose, as he himself said, of assisting in the settlement of a new country. He was emphatically one of the oldest inhabitants. Mr. Bassett was the father of 10 children, the grandfather of 61, and great grandfather of 85. SHELBYVILLE REUNION OF 1912 Shelbyville Republican July 19, 1912 page 1 column 3 BASSETT REUNION AT FAIR GROUND Two Hundred Descendants of Nymphas Bassett Have Family Gathering And Delightful Time. The two hundred members of the Bassett family which gathered at the fair grounds Thursday certainly did have one big time. All was jollity and merriment. The day was superb and there was nothing to mar the delightf occasion. At the noon hour all gathered in the big floral hall where three long tables had been spread, and there was room and abundance for all. Elmer Bassett, the well known attorney of this city, acted as master of ceremonies and later as toastmaster. He introduced Rev. H.N. Spear, pastor of the Baptist church of this city, who asked the blessing of God upon the assembled family and all the absent ones and returned thanks for the good things of life that had come to the family and also upon the bounteous repast now spread before the guests. The dinner was such a one as the good ladies of Shelby county so well know how to prepare. Eatables of the best in quality and abundance in quantity were right there and the guests died ample justice to al At the close of the dinner, Mr. Elmer Bassett asked that all remain seated as there was to be another kind of feast. He then told of the idea of the reunion and of the arrangements for the same. He read the interesti history of the family from its earliest days. The roll of members which had been prepared of the descendants of Nymphas Bassett numbered about 450 and 200 were present.

The youngest member of the Bassett family was the little daughter that arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bassett, of Marion Township, the day of the reunion. She sent her regrets.

The toastmaster, Elmer Bassett, after calling the roll, asked that Mrs. Catherine Monroney Bassett, the widow of Jonah Bassett, being the oldest representative present, make a speech.

At one time he owned 880 acres of land, cleared a large part of it up. When he came to enter his land there were 500 Indians camped on it. In 1856 he returned to his original home, New York, on a visit, and during his absence his wife died and had been buried two weeks before he returned or had any knowledge of it, as news travelled slowly or not at all in those days. Mrs. Clarissa Sleeth made an effecting speech after which the family sang "In the Sweet Bye and Bye." Rev. Spear then spoke and told of the great blessing of a fine ancestry and told of the commendable life of Nymphas Bassett, who was a member of the Baptist church and made the brick for the first Baptist church built here and donated half of them and of his buying Franklin College when it was sold on a mortgage and saving it for the Baptist church. Other speeches were made by George Hinds, 87 years old, Nathan Nave, John Rhodes, Harry C. Darnelle, Wm. H. Bassett, John R. Bassett and W.S. Montgomery of the Republican. On motion of Henry C. Darnell, the committee, which did such splendid work this year, was elected to take charge of the next reunion and its was vote to have them annually hereafter. The committee in charge this year James M. Bassett, William H. Bassett and John R. Bassett, but the committee concede that the greater part of the work was done by Elmer Bassett. The Orebau Bros. took a photograph of the family while at dinner and they all look happy. Later they took several while the family were seated in the amphitheatre. It is proposed to have a bigger and better reunion next year, so everybody get ready. SHELBYVILLE REUNION OF 1913 SHELBYVILLE REPUBLICAN August 4, 1913 page 1 colu page 2 column 3 BASSETT FAMILY'S SECOND REUNION Big Event At The Beautiful Fair Grounds Sunday - A Large Attendance of Splendid People BLOOD THICKER THAN WATER The Splendid Qualities of Nymphas Bassett To Be Seen In His Active, Enterprising, Vigorous and Successful Descendants. The Bassett family, descendants of Nymphas Bassett, held their second annual reunion at the fair grounds here Sunday, August Third. It was a grand event, one that delighted all who attended. There were 163 Bassetts by blood and marriage who answered the roll call. This was a goodly number and guests of the family ran the number up to near 250. There were 202 who broke bread together at the first table. And such a dinner. It was one of Shelby's best, and could not be surpassed in Indiana, "The home of good eats". There was fried chicken, baked chicken, lamb, ham, veal loaf, roast beef, flakey bread, salads, pickles, beets, preserves, jams, jellies, peach, custard, apple and blackberry pies, cakes - oh! my - angle food and dozens of other kinds. The dinner was a grand one. The ladies had shown the highest art in culinary skill and everybody did justice to the splendid repast, such as the Olympian gods never enjoyed. There was no such cooks and eats in those days. After dinner, family and friends were comfortably seated in the shade of the big beeches, north of the mechanical hall, where the dinner had been held. Elmer Bassett, in behalf of the committee, called the family to order and acted as master of ceremonies, Mr. Bassett said: "Friends, relatives, this is one glad day, one that you appreciated and enjoy. We all enjoyed the dinner, but we enjoy more this meeting together. We have heard the call for the blood and I, for one, believe and know that blood is thicker than water. Blood tells even to the third and fourth generation. This is a day of joy and gladness, for we meet and greet our relatives and old friends again and meet new ones as others come to join the ranks of our grand family, the Bassetts. "It is also a day of sorrow and of sadness, for we miss the friendly faces and the warm hand clasps of some who were with us last year, but who will never be with us again. They have gone to their reward." Mr. Bassett then announced that the family would sing "Showe Blessings", and with Mr. Bassett and Rev. C.A. McCullough, leading, it was sung with a right good will. Rev. C.A. McCullough, pastor of the Shelbyville M.E. Circuit, who, with his wife and five fine little sons, was present, was introduced and made a very appropriate address on "Perfect Obedience". Rev. McCullough spoke of the blessings and rewards that came from perfect obedience, not only to the will of our Heavenly Father, but to our parents. Rev. McCullough spoke of the love and solicitude which parents feel for their children, and that when their commands were implicitly obeyed it meant much for the training and life of the child, as it added to his success, prosperity and happiness. The speaker showed that we not only could render a perfect obedience to our parents, but to our Heavenly Father. He closed his address by and exhortation that day by day we should live a life of obedience so that when at last that great day came when all should give an account of the deeds done in the body, we would be a thousand times thankful we had always rendered a perfect obedience. The speaker's text was from Matthew, sixth chapter, tenth vers At this point Mr. Bassett gave a short sketch of Nymphas Bassett, the founder of the Shelby county branch of the Bassett family. NYPHMAS BASSETT Numphas Bassett was born in Vermont about 1782. When a young man he went to the state of New York where he married Thankful Ann Bruce near Keysville. Later they removed to Ohio, where they remained six years and then came to this county, arriving here in 1820, and settling in Marion township. They labored and prospered in the new land, and one time Mr. Bassett was the owner of six hundred acres of the best Shelby county land. He lived here until 1873, when at the age of 91 years, he set out in an emigrant wagon for Arkansas, this county having become too thickly settled for a man of his nature, who preferred being always on the frontier of civilization. He died at Vincennes while on the way to Arkansas. He was the father of ten children and it was his descendants who have met in this great reunion.

SHELBYVILLE REUNION OF 1914 SHELBYVILLE REPUBLICAN August 3, 1914 page 1 colu ANNUAL REUNION BASSETT FAMILY Held at fair grounds Sunday - Large attendance and a delightful time for everybody. The third annual reunion of the Nymphas Bassett family was held at the Shelby County fair grounds Sunday. Nymphas Bassett, the hardy, courageous and ambitious old Shelby county pioneer, has left descendants endowed with the same characteristics and worthy of the name. He conquered the primitive things of life and endured the hardships and privations of an early settler in Shelby county. He conquered them, too, and they did not break his spirit, for after success here in Indiana, he started as an old man, years past the allotted three score and then, to drive to the wilds of Arkansas and again make a conquest of the wilderness - but death called him before he had reached his new fighting grounds. Such a will and such an ambition to conquer and w success is worth much to the families of the descendants. Those who emulate his splendid example will have much to be thankful for. We are here to say that the sire and grand sire has home worthy imitators in the Bassett family of today who are winning success under equally as difficult but differe circumstances. Today men and and families differ not so much in talent as in energy coupled with ambition and ability that win success. The reunion Sunday was a grand success. It was the third. It was largely attended. Two hundred and ten partook of the sumptuous dinner which was one of those grand old Shelby county dinners, with all the good things that the county affords, Fried chicken, baked chicken and dumplings, roast beef, lamb, veal loaf, pickles of all kinds, baked beans, slaws, salads, tomato, preserves, butter, flaky bread and rolls, jellies, cakes, pies, etc., etc. After the splendid dinner the audience was called to order by Herbert Bassett, chairman of the committee on arrangements. He told all present how glad the committee and the members of the family were to see so many present. After the speech of welcome, Mrs. Mary Bassett Neely rendered a pleasing monologue. Mrs. Neely is both an accomplished pianist and reader. The following program was then carried out: Address - Rev. H. Spear Reading - Miss Frances Bassett Reading - Miss Clyda Bassett Miss Bassett gave two numbers with piano accompaniment by Mrs. Merle Walker. Solo - Herbert Bassett Mr. Bassett sang a medley, giving parts of a number of son rendered by the Old Church Choir. It showed ability as a singer. Mrs. Catherine Israel played the accompaniment. Reading - Miss Ethel Bassett Address - Lee Carithers Mr. Carithers undertook to make fun of the committee for making a bum selection as a speaker - but his speech was so good that is pleased every one and caused the people to think that the committee made a wise choice when it picked Lee. Short and impromptu speeches were then made by invitation of the chairman by Mrs. S.T. Adcock, of Missouri, her daughter, Mrs. Olive Cross, of McLeansboro, Ill,; Mrs. Clarissa Anderson, of Tipton; James M. Bassett, Dr. W.W. Tindall and W.S.
