Hopkins County, Kentucky Volume I - 1988 Gustavus Adolphus Bassett Gustavus Adolphus "Gus" Bassett, youngest child of Elijah Bassett and his wife, Mary O'Rear Pearl, was born 11 Aug. 1855 in Bracken County, KY. He came to Hopkins County when he was four months old. When he was nine, his father, who had served as sheriff in Bracken County, was shot and killed. Four months later his mother died and Gus then lived with his sister, Sallie Bassett Williams. On 25 Feb. 1879, Gus married Misher Izora "Odie" Cunningham, daughter of Joseph Misher Cunningham and Mary Louis Payne. Both of her parents died when she was very young and she was reared by uncle, Thomas Buford "Uncle Bufe" Payne. For the first year of their marriage, Gus and Odie lived on the Williams farm northeast of Providence but then bought their own farm on Clear Creek in Hopkins County. It was here that they reared their children and lived for the next 48 years until his death on 10 Mar. 1929. Later Odie moved to Benton, IL, and lived with her daughter. She died there 7 Jan. 1961 at the age of 102. Their children were James Payne, Edgar Karr, Jeff, John Corliss, Karr Pearl, Beryl O'Rear and Lawrence Rogers Bassett. James Payne Bassett was born 12 Dec. 1879 and married Nancy Macy Baker on 25 Sept. 1906. They had three children: James Baker, William Kerr, and Marjorie. James Payne Bassett owned a livery stable in Providence and later had coal mines in Webster and Hopkins Counties. He was killed in a mine accident on 4 Nov. 1929. The next two little boys of Gus and Odie, "Little Eddie" and Jeff, died young. They then had twin boys: John Corliss "Bill" and Karr Pearl Bassett, born 20 Sept. 1891. After World War I army service in the A.E.F., Bill worked for many years for St. Bernard and West Kentucky Coal Companies. Thereafter he served as Postmaster in Earlington for over twenty years. He was commander of the Earlington American Legion Post and also served as District Commander of the Legion. He was one of the founders and served as president of the Brown Meadow Lake Fishing Club. He married Elizabeth Zona Hearin on 7 July 1925. She began teaching school when she was a teenager and received her degree many years later from West Kentucky University after attending summer school almost every year. She was a devoted and talented teacher and served in the Earlington schools for most of her 50 year teaching career. Bill died on 20 Aug. 1965 and Zona on 17 Feb. 1985. They had no children. Karr married Mina Marie Van Metre on 8 Jul 1917 and they spent most of their married life in Washington state. He was Tax Assessor in Spokane for many years. They had four children: Winston Adolphus, Elanor Izora, Karlene Marie and Bette June. Karr died 24 Nov. 1963. Beryl O'Rear Bassett, the only daughter of Gus and Odie, was born 28 Dec. 1893. She married on 5 Sept. 1914 Curtis E. Smith, who visited Providence as a member of the Benton, IL, Silver Cornet Band that played at the county fair. He became a lawyer and she worked in his abstract office for many years. They had two daughters, Berylene Bassett and Sue Carol. Beryl now lives with her daughter, Sue Smith Hawkins in Mobile, AL. Lawrence Rogers Bassett was born on 23 Aug. 1896 and married Pauline Bullock on 3 Apr. 1923. They lived near Henderson, KY, where he had a large farm a few miles east of town. Lawrence died on 9 Feb. 1967. They had two children: Emma Jean and Robert Lawrence. Gus Bassett was a hard worker and a good farmer; however, he managed to utilize his love of hunting and fishing and his gregarious nature to supplement the income from the usual corn and tobacco crops. His fish nets on Weirs and Clear Creeks provided fish to "peddle" in town along with hams, vegetables and his famous watermelons and cantaloupes. He enjoyed socializing with his adult customers but he delighted even more having some "Penny" melons for poor eager children who followed his wagon. The Gus Bassett place on the Dalton Road was known for its hospitality. The annual family reunion brought Cunningham, Payne, Rogers, Smith, Tapp and other kin from Madisonville, Manitou and Nebo, but the Bassett farm was known best as a year-round gathering place for young people. The boys came to hunt and fish with the Bassett boys, and Beryl's friends came to see the boys. Gus Bassett was a tall, strong man and his wife, Odie, was a tiny but energetic woman. She stayed busy cooking and feeding the company that was always there to enjoy the good food of the family dinner table. When she died at 102, people said that she was proof that "Hard work never killed anyone." Gus was known not only to his children and grandchildren as "Pap" but also to the many young folk who made the Bassett farm their second home. He always said he had the best neighbors in the world: these included two land-owning Negro families, the Bishops and Rices. Gus Bassett, a Democrat, a Mason and a Baptist, was an honest, honorable, generous and hospitable man who, like his wife, Odie, enjoyed living and sharing. Submitted by Wm. Kerr Bassett The Journal-Enterprise, Providence, Webster County, Kentucky Thursday, September 25, 1958 Mrs. G.A.

Mrs. Bassett, whose husband was a well-known farmer, is the oldest member of Providence First Baptist Church. She remains mentally alert and although she uses a cane as an aid in walking about the house, she declined its assistance when she walked to the table for her 100th birthday dinner and ate as heartily as her younger dinner companions.

| 49372 | The Waterloo Press, February 7, 1895 OBITUARY Charles Bassett, was born in Brownhelm, Lorain Co. Ohio, Jan. 8, 1838; died Jan. 31, 1895, aged 57 years and 23 days. He was the son of Thomas and Nancy Bassett, who died while he was yet a child, leaving him to battle life for himself. When eight years of age, he went to Erie Co. O., where he remained four years. He then went to Union City, Mich. and from there to Coldwater, where he began to learn the jeweler?s trade, serving as an apprentice four years. Mr. Bassett was married to Caroline Maxson, (sister of Jno. F. Maxson) on Jan. 1, 1859; at Jackson, Mich. and came to Waterloo the same year and in partnership with J.F. Maxson engaged in the jewelry business. Mrs. Bassett departed this life July 20, 1889, since which time Mr. Bassett has never remarried. To this union was born four children: Carrie, Charles Lewis, Bessie and William; all married except the latter. Mr. Bassett has held several offices of trust in the township, was a member of the Masonic Lodge and was an earnest member and supporter of the Christian church. The funeral was held on Sunday forenoon, at 10:30, in the Christian church, Prof. L.W. Fairfield of Angola, officiating. The Masons attended in a body and he was buried under the auspices of the fraternity. The funeral was one of the largest attended in Waterloo, for several years. The death of Mr. Charles Bassett, announced in this paper, removed from the community one of the most highly esteemed citizens, and one who has been closely identified with the interests of the town from its foundation. When a young man he located here and established a trade as Jeweler and Silversmith, in partnership with his brother-in-law, Mr. Jno. F. Maxson, and the business grew with the town until the firm became prominent throughout this and Steuben counties. Mr. Bassett was an excellent workman and for many years during and following the war period owners of good watches believed that no one could so successfully repair their favorite time pieces as he, and in this manner his reputation as a reliable jeweler was wide spread. His general good citizenship and reliability in every good work and work gathered about him many warm friends. His integrity of purpose was never questioned, and he was always found on the right side of good morals. He was a devoted member and one of the financial supporters of the Christian church and although retiring and unassuming, but few knew of his sacrifices in the interests of the cause of right. Several times his fellow citizens called him to serve in som municipal office, as trustee of the town or school, or treasurer of the town or school board and in every fiduciary capacity to which he was called, he served with integrity and was never found wanting. The earlier citizens of the town who have outlived him will cherish his memory as an exemplary citizen. He was a charter member of Waterloo Lodge 307, F. & A.M., and was always beloved by his brethren. Like many others he had many burdens to bear, some of which were known only to himself. The loss of a devoted wife six years since, the destruction of his home by fire a little more than a year ago, the depression of business in the jewelry trade, his failing health, losses in the Building and Loan association, and other difficulties rested heavily upon him, and less 1860 Federal Census of Waterloo, Union Twp., Dekalb County, IN (15 Jun 1860) Charles Basset 23 M Ohio Goldsmith 100 200 Caroline 24 F New York Douglas? 1/12 M Indiana Jessie 1/12 F Indiana John M. 27 M Ohio Goldsmith 1870 Federal Census of Waterloo, Union Twp., Dekalb County, IN (11 Jul 1870) Charles Bassett 32 M Ohio Jeweler 1200 1000 Caroline 34 F New York Keeping house Charles (twin) 10 M Indiana Carrie (twin) 10 F Indiana Bessie 3 F Indiana Nathan Bassett 20 M Ohio 1880 Federal Census of Waterloo, DeKalb County, Indiana Charles Bassett 42 M OH NY NY Head Jeweler Caroline 45 F NY NY NY Wife Keeping House Charles S. 20 M IN OH NY Son Works in Jewelry Sh Carrie C. 20 F IN OH NY Daughter Bessie E. 13 F IN OH NY Daughter Willis 5 M IN OH NY Son John J.

Copy of letter from Joseph William Bassett to his daughter, Eleanor Bassett Waltz: New Orleans, Louisiana - September 5, 1935 My dear Eleanor, I hasten to answer your request for data of your grandfather's life history. You say you wrote to the war department for certain information relating to his service in the Confederate Army. When I was born your grandfather was 52 years old, consequently when I had grown to an age where I began to take a lively interest in such matters as family history, he was so old and approaching his end that there was little time for him to communicate to me that which I afterwards so much wished to learn. What little I did learn, however, is about all that is available. Joseph Carter Bassett was born December 31, 1823 in Winchester, Virginia. He was the oldest son of William Henry Bassett and Eleanor O'Neill. There were four other children born of this union: Benjamin (Henry), Thomas Jefferson, William Henry Jr., and one girl, Virginia. Eleanor O'Neill, wife of William Henry Bassett, died and he remarried. The second wife was Caroline Toon of Memphis, Tennessee and of this marriage, one son, Lewis Bassett, was born. He later became Dr. Lewis Bassett and settled in Texas, where his children still live. Joseph Carter Bassett was given a first class college and university education. His two brothers, Benjamin (Harrison) and Thomas Jefferson, were graduates of Yale University and later were laywers in Brenham and Dallas, Texas. All of the boys received their pre-college education at St. Charles College, Jesuit school, Grand Coteau, Louisiana, which is now a seminary for Jesuit priests. Joseph Carter Bassett was absolutely the best posted and generally informed man I have ever known. His father, William Henry Bassett, was a sea-faring man, owner of sea-going vessels, and at the age of 23, his oldest son, Joseph Carter went to sea with him. Ill fortune came, during just such a hurricane as the one which recently harried the Florida Keys, and they were shipwrecked and lost everything. Father and son were saved by lashing themselves to a spar and being later picked up after days exposure. This tale I heard him tell many times. During their voyage in search of cargoes they had many times made the port of New Orleans and knew of the fertile land to be had in Louisiana for the entry fee. When they found themselves ruined financially they decided to move to Louisiana from Virginia and did so. In a few years they had reformed their lives..... Reconstruction days and the reign of the carpetbaggers followed. A long story and a gruesome one. Dark days for the whites that had survived the war. Father accepted an appointment as professor of history and mathematics at St. Charles College, Grand Coteau, Louisiana. In 1868 he met and married Eugenie Richard. She was only 23 years old, he was 44. Mother was a graduate of the convent of the Sacred Heart at Grand Coteau. Shortly after their marriage they moved to St. Martinville, Louisiana. There your grandfather was elected District Judge in which capacity he served for many years. To this union were born seven children: Amelia, Eleanor, Coralie, Eugenie, Virginia, William and Alice. Judge Carter Bassett died December 6, 1897 and was buried in the graveyard behind the Catholic Church, Grand Coteau, Louisiana. His wife survived him and died in 1906 and is buried in St. Martinville, Louisiana. in the Catholic graveyard there. Now, my dear, I regret that I am unable to give you more explicit and correct data. I sincerely trust this will serve your purpose. Lovingly, Dad Footnote from Aunt Pecey. William Henry Bassett, Sr. (father of Judge Carter Bassett) was born at Charles City County, Virginia in 1796. The date of his birth is verified by his death certificate at the Jesuit Seminary (or Parish Church), Grand Coteau, Louisiana. 1870 Federal Census of Second Ward, St. Martin County, Louisiana Carter Bassett - 45 - M - Maryland - Farmer 2000 300 Eugeni - 25 - F - Louisiana - Keeping House Marie A. - 3/12 - F - Louisiana - At Home 1880 Federal Census of Election District 33, First Ward, St. Martin County, Louisiana Carter Bassett - 57 - M - DC-VA-VA - Head - Farmer Eugenie - 35 - F - LA-LA-LA - Wife - Keeping House Amelie - 10 - F - LA-DC-LA - Daughter - At Home Eleanore - 8 - F - LA-DC-LA - Daughter - At Home Coralie - 7 - F - LA-DC-LA - Daughter - At Home Eugenie - 5 - F - LA-DC-LA - Daughter - At Home Virginia - 4 - F - LA-DC-LA - Daughter William - 6/12 - M - LA-DC-LA - Son | Richard, Eugenia (I19)
