Bassett, son of Samuel Kellogg and Jane Augusta Bassett, was born at Troy, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, on July 16, 1834, the second of a family of six, viz: Jane Augusta, Owen Abbott, Samuel Bradford, Mary Josephine, Leonard Jarvis, and Charles Francis, all now living but the third named who died in 1869, then a first lieutenant in the 7th Cavalry Unit States Army. His father, Samuel Kellogg, son of John and Clarissa Bassett, was born at Spencer, New York, in 1805; was by trade a wheelwright, the inventor of several useful machines, one being a steam plow, and died in 1878. His mother, Jane Augusta, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Bradford, was born at Bristo Rhode Island, in 1810, the sixth descendant of Governor Bradford, and is now living. His parents were married in Smithfield, Pennsylvania in 183 His grandfather, John Bassett, was born at Coventry, Rhode Island, in 1770, was by trade a wheelwright, and died in 1842. His grandmother, Clarissa, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Rogers) Kellogg was born at Poultney, Vermont, in 1782, and is now living. His grandfather, Daniel, son of Daniel and Susann (Jarvis) Bradford, was born at Attleborough, Massachusetts, in 1778; was by profession a lawyer, and died in 1821. His grandmother, Sarah, daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Cox) Reynolds, was born at Bristol, Rhode Island, in 1782, and died in 1833. On November 19, 1857, at New London, Iowa, he married Miss Josephine Eliza Butland, only child of Richard and Mary Butland, who was born at Baltimore, Maryland, on November 27, 1835, and educated at Denmark Academy, Iowa. Her father, Richard, son of Richard and Eliza Butland, was born at London, England, in 1800; was a professor of languages. Her mother, Mar daughter of Sampson and Mary (Gillard) Crocker, was born in Devonshire county, England, in 1819, and is now living. Her parents were married at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1834. His wife, Josephine Eliza, has borne to him five children, all born at Lawrence, Kansas, viz: Anna Gertrude, September 4, 1858; Mary Viele, August 2, 1866; Thomas Butland, October 21, 1870; Frederick Leonard, May 19, 1873; and Josephine Edson, September 28, 1875- all now living except the first named who died January 10, 1860. Her mother removed from Baltimore to Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1838, thence to Henry county, Iowa, in 1840, and to Lee county, Iowa, in 1844. She was confirmed and united with the Protestant Episcop church at Lawrence, Kansas, in 1868. Her mother was re-married to Philo G. Fox, and now resides in California. His father removed with his family from Pennsylvania to Hancock county, Illinois, in 1837, thence to Lee county, Iowa, in 1839, residing first at Fort Madison, and afterward at Denmark. He received the rudiments of an education at a school taught by his mother for the purpose of educating her own children, and afterward pursued his studies at Denmark Academy, Iow where he completed the academic course. After leaving the academy he pursued his studies with a view to qualifying himself for a civil engineer, and soon afterward entered upon the study of the law, to qualify himself for the bar. At the age of sixteen he was engaged for five months in teaching one of the public schools at Fort Madison, Iowa. (with an average attendance of over ninety pupils,) which he conducted successfully. In 1855 he was employed in a subordinate position in the United States land office at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, but having been educated a Whig, and refusing to support the Democratic administration of Mr. Pierce, he did no long remain. Soon afterward he formed a partnership with Stillman H. Blood and George C. Brackett, to enga business in the new Territory of Kansas, and in the spring of 1856 started with Mr. Brackett for that Territory, their objective point being Lecompton, the territorial capital. On arriving at Leavenworth via the Missouri river April 5, 1856, he first realized the true political situation by being called up at midnight by a mob intent on learning who he was, whence he came, and what was his purpose. At first he demurred to this public demonstration at so unseasonable an hour, but finally yielded to the importunate invitation conveyed by the mayor and marshall in person, and responded to the clamorous call from the steps of the Leavenworth Hotel, thanking those assembled for their hearty welcome, assuring them that as a private citizen, coming among them a stranger, he had not anticipated such a reception, and in this manner disarmed the Soon after his arrival at Lecompton occurred the wounding of Sheriff Jones at Lawrence, while engaged in making arrests of certain free-state men, and having given free expression to his opinions and made some effort to secure the release of the prisoners, he was "spotted," and in the evening was, while on the street, surrounded by a mob from which he was rescued by General Joseph C. Anderson, representative in the Kansas Legislature and formerly from Lexington, Missouri, who declared that Bassett was a gentleman and his friend, that they had drank together, but, adopting his friend Anderson's advice, he went to Lawrence the next day, and concluded to devote his attention thenceforth to the free-state cause in Kansas. A congressional committee was then engaged in an investigation of the political troubles in Kansas, and he attended its sessions as a reporter for the press. While so engaged at Leavenworth it was definitely understood that an attack was to be made on Lawrence by the border ruffians, and that the town would be defended. With zeal for the cause in which he enlisted he proceeded alone and on foot to Lawrence, two days before the attack, for the purpose of assisting in the defense, but those in authority decided to submit and Lawrence was delivered over to the enemy to be pillaged, burned and humbled. The sack of Lawrence on May 21, 1856, would not have been had the counsels of her young men prevailed. After the sack of Lawrence, in company with Mr. Brackett, he went to Leavenworth, and, at the request of parties interested, they underto escort ex-Governor Reeder out of the Territory. The Governor had come to Kansas as a witness before the investigating committee, and being threatened with arrest under a bogus indictment, demanded the protection of the committee, and being refused it was necessary for an immediate departur Accordingly the Governor was taken up at a wood yard, incognito, as a wood- chopper, by a steamboat, and with his escort landed at another wood-yard below St. Charles on the Missouri river, going thence across the country to t Mississippi, he was safely landed on the Illinois shore, rejoicing that he had escaped the vengeance of a border-ruffian mob. He again returned to Kansas by what was termed the "overland route" through Iowa and Nebraska, and reached Ropka on July 4, 1856, in time to witness the dispersal of the Topeka Legislature by federal bayonets, instead of being permitted to stand with the free-state men in their defense of the right. On August 12, 1856, he joined the "Stubbs," a military company at Lawrence, and that night was in the battle, so called, at Franklin, where a six-pounder brass field piece and some small arms were captured. He was also at the taking of Fort Saunders, August 15, a bloodless victory, and at the capture of Colonel Titus and party, August 16. From this time he was constantly engaged in the service of the free-state army of Kansas, holding the important positions of engineer and quartermaster. In December, 1856, he removed to Leavenworth county, and engaged as engineer of the Quindaro Town Company. In the fall of 1857 he was elected to the Territorial Legislature and served in the special session of 1857, and in the regular session of 1858. He was the youngest member of that body, but none served more faithfully or labored more diligently. In his canvass he pledged himself to work for the repeal of every general law enacted by the bogus Legislature, and introduced a bill at an early day for that purpose, and at the close of the session the bogus laws were publicly burned on Massachusetts Street, in the city of Lawrence, and Kansas was proclaimed a free Territory for all mankind. This was substantially the close of the struggle for dominion between freedom and slavery in Kansas. In the spring of 1858 he removed to Franklin county, and for a time edited and published a newspaper, the "Kansas Statesman." This was a temporary enterprise and soon abandoned, when he returned again to Lawrence in July, 1858, where his home has ever since been. In October, 1858, he was admitted to the bar of Douglas county, and at once entered upon the practice of the law, his chosen profession. From this time he was an adherent of the conservative, or anti-Lane party, in politics, and, although not an active politician, was always out-spoken and positive in his convictions and expressions of opinion. In 1860 he was engaged as counsel for the heirs of Gaius Jenkins, on the re-hearing of the Lane and Jenki contested land case, involving the title to one hundred and sixty acres of land near the city of Lawrence. At the breaking out of the war, in 1861, he tendered his services to the Governor, and rendered some assistance in organizing the first Kans regiments, and early in August undertook the hazardous enterprise of traversing the enemies' country as a bearer of dispatches from Colonel Weer at Fort Scott, to General Lyon at Springfield, Missouri, but before reaching the latter place he learned the result of the battle of Wilson's Creek, and overtook the retreating Union forces at Rolla, where he delivered his despatches to Major Sturgis, then in command. He returned to Kansas via St. Louis, and soon afterward received the appointment of first lieutenant under Colonel Root, who was authorized to raise a regiment of cavalry, and at the organization of Colonel Davis' regiment in November, 1861, then known as the 96h Regiment of Kansas Cavalry, he was commissioned lieutenant-colone In the spring of 1862, under a general order from the Governor, the several skeleton regiments were re-organized, the 9th, Colonel Davis, w consolidated with the 2nd, Colonel Mitchell, under command of the latter. Soon afterward Colonel Mitchell was commissioned a brigadier-general of Volunteers, and by order of the Secretary of War, W.F. Cloud was appointed to succeed to the command, notwithstanding the Governor's commission to Colonel Bassett. This was one of the petty usurpations at the behest of a politician which the War Department was constantly indulging in, and the result in this case was that the lawful successor to the colonelcy of the 2nd Kansas Cavalry, carried his colonel's commission for three years in his pocket, appealing in vain for a just recognition of his claims. The act of Congress expressly vested the appointment in the Governor, but the law was disregarded and justice failed. Notwithstanding this he rode at the head of his regiment and commanded it in every important action in which it was engaged. At Fort Wayne, in the Indian Territory, October 22, 1862, with his regiment unsupported and in the face of vastly superior numbers, he captured a four-gun battery. At Cane Hill, Van Buren, Reeds Mountain, Prarie Grove, and the Fourche he led the advance, and at Prairie de Anne, then commanding a cavalry brigade, he covered t retreat of the 7th Army Corps to Camden. With a well-drilled and thoroughly disciplined regiment, he was almost without exception assigned to the first post of honor, the front in the advance and the rear in the retreat. During the winter of 1863-4, he commanded a brigade at Waldron, Arkansas, a General Steele's Camden expedition he commanded a cavalry brigade, and from May, 1864, until he left the service in January, 1865, he was chief of staff for the frontier division at Fort Smith, Arkansas. While in the army he made himself familiar with the details of the service in all its branches, and he became, as it were, authority upon all matters in the division in which he served, excepting in the medical department, concerning which at all times he disclaimed having any knowledge, although conversant with the regulations for its government. This service gave opportunity for, and brought out, his special characteristic - that of endeavoring to ascertain the reason for the existence of a fact, and never leaving the subject half learned. Near the close of the war General Steele, at Little Rock, commanding the Department and 7th Army Corps, offered him the position of chief of staff, but this was declined for the reason that he believed he could be of more service to the country, and especially to his own regiment, by accepting the same position on the staff of General Thayer, at Fort Smith, commanding the district and frontier divisions, which had been offered to him and which he was strongly urged to accept. At the close of the war he returned again to Lawrence, and engaged in the business of prosecuting claims against the Government, growing out of the war, and in 1868, after a sharp contest was nominated by the Republican party and elected to the office of district judge. He entered upon the duties of this office in January, 1869, and served with such credit, and so much to the satisfaction of the people, that he was re-elected in 1872 with little opposition. In 1876 he declined to run for a third term, although strongly solicited, and though it was generally conceded that he could be successful as a candidate, he chose rather to resume the practice of his profession, and is now engaged in his chosen work. As a judicial officer he maintained an enviable reputation for integrity and impartiality, and ranked high among the judicial officers of the State, and at the organization of the State Judicial Association, in January, 1876, he was chosen as its first presiding officer. He was made a Mason in Belle Point Lodge No. 10, Fort Smith, Arkansas, in December, 1864. He assisted in the organization as junior warden, of Acacia Lodge No. 9, Kansas, in January, 1867, and served as master of that lodge in 1870. In 1867 he was appointed by the grand master one of the custodians of the work, and in 1868 was elected by the Grand Lodge of Kansas to the office of custodian of the work for six years, and was appointed grand lecturer. In 1873 he was elected grand master of Masons for Kansas, and was re-elected in 1874. He was exalted to the degree of royal arch Mason in Bellyue Chapter No. 8, Fort Smith, Arkansas, in January, 1865. He organized Lawrence Chapter No. 4, in 1866, and presided as high priest therein three years. He assisted in the organization of the Grand Chapter of Kansas in 1866, and was its first grand marshal. He was appointed also to the office of grand lecturer, which he held three years. He was elected deputy grand high priest in 1868, and grand high priest in 1869, and re-elected in 1870 and 1871. He passed the circle in Leavenworth Council No. 1, in August, 1866. He organized Lawrence Council No. 4, in 1867, and presided as thrice illustrious master therein two years. He assisted in the organization of the Grand Council of Kansas in 1867 and was elected grand conductor of the work, and in 1878 most illustrious grand master. He was created a Knight Templar in Leavenworth Commandery No. 1, in February, 1868. He organized DeMolay Commandery No. 4, at Lawrence, Kansas, in March, 1868, and presided as eminent commander therein five years. He assisted in the organization of the grand commandery of Kansas in 1868, and was its first grand captain-general. He was elected grand generalissimo in 1869, deputy grand commander in 1874, and grand commander in 1877. He is a prominent member of the society of Free Masons, having a reputation extending beyond the limits of the jurisdiction in which he lives. A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans, by William E. Connelley Owen A. Bassett (1918) Owen A. Bassett was one of the ablest and most energetic actors in the Border troubles, the Civil war and the civil affairs of the Reconstruction period. A Pennsylvanian by birth, his father moved to Illinois in 1837 and two years later to Iowa. The family home was first in Lee County. The son's original intention was to be a civil engineer, but he finally decided in favor of the law, although the stirring and compelling affairs which entered his life prevented him for many years from utilizing the legal training which he acquired. In 1855 he was employed in the United States land office at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, but in the spring of 1856 resigned to engage in busine Lecompton. Soon afterward he entered heartily into the free-state cause, joined the military company known as the Lawrence Stubbs, and was engaged both in the battle of Franklin and the capture of Fort Saunders. Subsequently he held the positions of engineer and quartermaster with the free-state army of Kansas, and in December, 1856, moved to Leavenworth. There he engaged as engineer for the Quindaro Town Company, and in 1857 and 1858 served in the Territorial Legislature. In the latter year he moved to Franklin County, published the Kansas Freeman a few months, returned to Lawrence and was admitted to the bar. At the outbreak of the Civil war he assisted in the organization of the First Kansas Infantry, but later was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the Ninth Kansas, which later became the Second Cavalry, and with which he served until 1865. Colonel Bassett was elected distri judge in 1868 and, by re-election, held that office until 1876. He was a prominent Mason and died at Ellsworth, July 19, 1896. | Bassett, Owen Abbott (I07722)

| 50284 | Toronto Globe, March 30, 2005 Gerard Bessette, Writer, 1920-2005 Novelist whose works were compared to that of Albert Camus twice won the Governor-General's Literary Award By M.J. STONE, Special to The Globe and Mail, Wednesday, March 30, 2005 Montreal -- As the author of nine novels, a collection of short stories and poetry, Gerard BESSETTE was a two-time winner of the Governor-General's Literary Award. Mr. BESSETTE, who retired from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, in 1979, also produced numerous critical works that delved into the psychology of Quebec literature in the 20th century. He may well have examined his own writing, namely Le Libraire. One of his most recognized works, it is an existentialist novel about a book-store employee that takes a harsh look at the cultural conditions of small-town Quebec in the 1950s. Considered a Quiet Revolution classic, Le Libraire is frequently compared with Albert Camus's L'Étranger. Gerard BESSETTE was born in a village on the South Shore of the St. Lawrence near Montreal. In 1944, he graduated from the École normale Jacques-Cartier and was later one of the first scholars to obtain a doctorate in French literature from Université de Montréal in 1950. He began his career as a poet in 1947. His poem Le Coureur was awarded second prize at the Concours littéraires du Québec, and he went on to represent Canada in the poetry section of the 1948 Olympic Games. But his fascination with verse suddenly evaporated. "I quit writing poetry at the age of 25 or so... Then there was a long silence as far as creative writing was concerned. I started again when I was 36 or 37." He liked to describe how language and class informed his writing. "I was still torn, not only on levels of language, but also on levels of society. I was from a lower-class milieu, but because of my studies, I was out of it." His first novel, La Bagarre, exposed the symbiotic relationship at work between those elements he divined within. Eventually, his command of voice and his sense of self as an academic were intensified as a consequence of his prose writing. La Bagarre (1958), Le Libraire (1960) and Les Pédagogues (1961) all explored a similar Quiet Revolution theme of the repressive influences of culture and tradition in Quebec society during the 1950s. Regarding the popularity of Le Libraire and its lead character, Hervé Jodoin, who resembles the anti-hero Mersault in Camus's L'Étranger, Mr. BESSETTE wrote: "I think that in a way he is the forerunner of the revolt among the young. You know at the beginning he has dropped everything. And had trouble with the Catholic church. Then he gets into the book business and again has trouble with the church. And then he throws everything away and mocks the old regime." All of his novels are tinged with rebellion, directly and indirectly challenging the status quo and exploring the role of the individual in relation to the expectations of the culture they inhabit. To Steven URQUHART, a doctoral student at Queen's University, Mr. BESSETTE's work uses a great deal of symbolism that is related to phantasmagorical imagery. "In fact, those who are considered or depicted as monstrous at first are nothing more in reality than human," said Mr. URQUHART, whose doctoral thesis examines grotesque representations and allusions to the notion of monstrosity in Mr. BESSETTE's novels. "The authority figures in his novels end up being the real monsters." Mr. BESSETTE's later style was inspired by the nouveau roman experimental literary form created by French novelists in the 1950s that included Alain Robbe-Grillet and Nathalie Sarraute. Part of the nouveau roman technique is to eliminate character, plot development and authorial subjectivity to present the reality as pure and uncontaminated as possible. Mr. BESSETTE was a devout advocate of the Freudian psychocritique school of criticism developed by the French scholar Charles Mauron. His works of literary analysis include Littérature en ébullition in 1968 and Trois romanciers québécois in 1973. Regarding his exploration of Freudian literary theory, Mr. BESSETTE once said that psychocriticism gives the reader a feeling of power: "You have an impression and/or illusion that you are discovering things that the writer himself did not know. That's a great satisfaction." His writing was influenced by a teaching career that began at the University of Saskatchewan in 1946. He also taught at Duquesne University and Royal Military College Kingston, as well as at Queen's. In 1982, he was an invited professor at Yale. Mr. BESSETTE received the Governor-General's Literary Award for L'Incubation in 1965 and Le Cycle in 1971. He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1966 and, in 1980, was awarded Quebec's Athanase-David Literary Prize. Gerard BESSETTE was born on February 25, 1920, in Ste-Anne-de-Sabrevois, Québec. He died on February 20, 2005, in Kingston, Ontario He is survived by his wife, Irene BAKOWSKI- BORYS. | Bessette, Joseph Gerard (I16380)

In Canada he sailed with his buddies at Craigleith; and enjoyed racing in the Albacore class sail-boat annual regattas at Lake Rosseau. After first learning to snow ski at Collingwood Ski Club in the early 1960s, Frandy joined Alpine Ski Club where he enjoyed skiing with his family until 1981 after which time he became a regular snow bird spending most winters in Florida. Frandy and Marilyn were members of Trinity United Church, Collingwood for forty years before joining the congregation of All Saints Anglican Church, Collingwood. They lived on Minnesota St for 46 years until, with Marilyn's failing health, they moved one street over to St Paul Street and Callary Cres in June 2000. Marilyn passed away in December 2001. In 2003 Frandy fulfilled his dream of sailing around the world aboard a tramp steamer, aka a working freighter/multipurpose vessel. The passage took four months and the ship was The Bank Line's "Speybank." A year later Frandy sailed throughout the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway aboard "Ziemia Lodzka," an ocean going bulk carrier owned by The Polish Steamship Company. We are deeply indebted to Lynne Abramoff his loving and devoted caregiver and to all the staff of Sunset Manor for their support and patience. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday July 6, 2016 at Fawcett Funeral Home, 82 Pine St. Collingwood, Ontario. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Frandy may be made to Collingwood General and Marine Hospital or Hospice Georgian Triangle.
