Their three daughters were educated at Ward-Belmont. Capitola Bassett, the eldest daughter, was married to Hiram Bedford Crosby.

The Bassetts came to Okmulgee about 1915 from Butler, Missouri. They had a beautiful home with servants' quarters on the rear of the property located in the five hundred block of North Seminole. W.O. held various prominent jobs in Okmulgee. He was a stock holder in the Union National Bank, ran the Morris Plan Bank for a time and was very active in the oil business in Okmulgee County. In later years he was Okmulgee County Commissioner, a job he held at the time of his death. He passed away October 19, 1934 and is buried at the Okmulgee Cemetery. After her husband's death, Trixy stayed in this area for awhile, then moved to San Bernardino, California, near her nephew, Fred Fast, formerly of Okmulgee. She worked during the war at Norton Air Force Base, San Bernardino, California later moving to Beaumont, California to make her home near her daughter, Capitola.

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, ARKANSAS Shilo Museum 1989 Article by Marynm Shaw Bassett Woodson W. Bassett, Sr. Woodson William Bassett, Sr., was born April 24, 1880 in Iantha, Missouri. On January 23, 1919, he married Bertha (Bee) Irene Knerr, born August 19, 1893 in Allerton, Iowa, the daughter of George Frederick and Ida Corbett Knerr of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Woodson and Bee had four children - Betty Jane, born January 8, 1920, Dorothy Sue born February 20, 1921, Trixie Bee born October 30, 1922 and Woodson William, Jr., born November 7, 1926. The family moved to Fayetteville in 1936. Woodson's ancesters originated in Virginia and migrated to Kentucky. His grandfather, Thomas Bassett, moved westward to Clay County, Illinois in the mid 1800's. He was a veteran of the Mexican War. When he returned from the war, he became a wagon master, guiding settlers and herding cattle to California. His first trip out and back took two years. He attempted a second trip by boat to establish a homestead for this family. He sailed from New York around the "Big Horn" to the Isthmus of Panama where he "took a fever" and died. Thomas was married to Nancy Ann Smith. They had three children - John Wesley, a teacher, Sarah Ann and Nathaniel. Nathaniel "Than" Bassett was born March 18, 1854 in Clay County, Illinois. He married Elma Jane Williams, born in 1858. They went even farther west to Iantha, Missouri. They had three children: William Oscar, Woodson William and a daughter, Irkle Bell. Jane died when her youngest child was but two years of age. "Than" then married Ann Nance. They had one son, James D. (Jim) Bassett. A measles epidemic in 1901 caused the death of Irkle Bell. She was only seventeen. "Than" homesteaded a two-hundred acre farm in Haines Grove, Missouri. Editor of the Lamar Democrat often referred to him as the democratic leader of Barton County - a political avocation, all three of his sons and one great-grandson would inherit. Both Woodson and Oscar served as Clerks of Barton County, and Jim spent a major portion of his life as elected sheriff of Barton County. Oscar moved to Okmulgee, Oklahoma where he was elected to two terms as County Commissioner. He was joined there in the early 1900s by Woodson and they became successful, even quite wealthy, in the independent oil and gas leasing business. However, the 1929 market crash and ensuing depression swept their fortunes away and forced them to emotionally and economically restructure their lives. Oscar died of "a heart ailment" in 1934 and his family moved to California. In 1935, Jim witnessed the bizarre death of his nineteen year-old son, Maurice, who was a passenger in a monoplane which crashed near his father's office on the downtown square of Lamar, Missouri. Family tragedies, economic depression and the pressing need to provide for and educatte their children, were all factors which motivated Woodson and Bee to move their family to Fayetteville in 1936. They could be near Bee's family and near a state university. All their children would eventually attend the University of Arkansas. Woodson opened an office on the Fayetteville square and sold insurance and real estate and made appraisals for the Home Loan Bank. When their youngest child entered the University of Arkansas, Bee became an assistant to the registrar there, handling all World War II student veteran's affairs. Woodson died December 6, 1964 and Bee, on September 7, 1971. Both are buried at Fairview Memorial Gardens, Fayetteville, Arkansas. The only remaining males in the Bassett geneological lineage of Thomas, Nathaniel and Woodson W. Bassett, Sr. are Woodson W. (Bill) Bassett Jr. and his two sons. Bill is the senior member of the Bassett Law Firm, 221 North College Avenue, Fayetteville, Arkansas. On December 16, 1950, he married Marynm Shaw of Homer, Louisiana. They have three children: Woodson William (Woody) Bassett, III, born November 3, 1951 in Monroe, Louisiana; Beverly Marynm Bassett, born May 29, 1953 and Tod Corbett Bassett, born September 8, 1955 - both in Fayetteville, Arkansas. All are attorneys. Woody and Tod are members of the Bassett Law Firm. Woody is charman of the Washington County Democratic Party. Tod is married to the former Mary Helen Sugg of Fayetteville. Beverly was a member of the Mitchell Law Firm of Little Rock, Arkansas until her appointment by Governor Bill Clinton as the Securities Commissioner for the State of Arkansas - first woman to hold this position in Arkansas. She is married to Archie Schaffer III of Little Rock and they have one daughter, Eliot Shaw Schaffer, born June 11, 1987. | Bassett, William Oscar (I1858)

The evidence of John Bassett, son of the deceased, was to the effect that on Sunday night deceased was engine driver for the night. The watchman, Crispin Smith, had the engine ready for starting at twelve o'clock, and witness saw his father get up on the engine-bed and raise his hands to move the valve then the jug burst and the steam burst out, deceased was knocked down off the bed onto the floor. The place was full of steam, but Smith went and rais deceased and removed him, and shortly afterwards he was taken home. Dr Atkinson attended him up to the time of his death, at midday on Tuesday. The accident appeared to be unavoidable. Thomas Eyre, manager of the compan stated that he was present shortly after the accident and he found the steam escaping from the jug at the joint below the valve handle. Upon having the steam shut off it was discovered that there was a crack in the jug. The jug had been in use for about 3 years, and nothing appeared on it to indicate a flow. The accident appeared to be caused by the steam acting upon the condensed water upon the jug at the moment the deceased was lifting the valve screw by the handle. Deceased was a careful and good engine drive Crispin Smith gave evidence that from where deceased stood on the bed of the engine to the floor was a distance of 5 feet. Doctor Atkinson deposed that he had made a postmortem examination and found the deceased severely scalded by the steam, and his ribs fractured by the fall and penetrating the right lung, which injuries caused his death. The jury gave a verdict of accidental death." Proceeding Inquest for William Bassett William Bassett aged 52 years came by his death do say upon their oath that about 1 of the clock p.m. on the 19th inst. the deceased William Bassett came by his death from fractured ribs punctuating his right lung caused by deceased being forced form the engine bed to the floor by the steam from the engine pipes accidently giving way at the Catherine Reef engine house on Sunday night the 17th instant, and that there was no blame to anyone in the matter. There were no marks of violence upon the body externally. | Bassett, William (I80)

| 51791 | WILLIAM BASSETT FAMILY Told by Sadie Bassett to daughters, Eva Rallsback and Nona Moore Our first ancestor, William Bassett, came to America from England in 1830. He and his wife, Jane (Pelham), and family settled in Huron Co., Ohio. Their children were: Edward, Elizabeth, William and Thomas (who served in the Civil War). They were all born in England. Then Lucy, George, Samuel, Henry, Maylam (who served in the Civil War) and Ellen were born in Ohio. He and his family farmed in Ohio until his death in 1862. One son, Edward, married his first wife, Sarah Mortimer, August 23, 1847 in Ohio and she lived but a short time. They started moving west with other family members. The 1850 census does not include Sarah and we find Edward was living with the Mortimer family with his two year old son, John. He then married Elizabeth Mortimer February 17, 1852. She is buried at Eclipse Cemetery southwest of Mullen and he is too. Their children were: Thomas Mahlon married Edwine Howard, Sarah M. married to Isaac Shepherd, Nathan E. married to Emily Mortimore, Ellsworth married to Ellen Quick, Clara Jane married to Mitt Hogg, and Howard U. married to Catherine Gragg. The family moved from Ohio to northeastern Iowa, then to southwestern Iowa, near Shendandoah, then to McCook and then moved on into McPherson and Hooker Counties, sometime after 1872 and filed on homestead land. Edward's oldest son, John W., was born in Ohio and was married to Adeline Fleming May 17, 1872. To this union one son, Birtrum, was born. They divorced and he then married Elsie Springer in Red Willow County, Nebraska, September 22, 1863. John and Elsie had the following children: Bessie Maud, who died in infancy and is buried at McCook, Cora Alice married Wm. Treandos, Frank who married Maude Bassett, Nathan E. who married Sadie Sager, Minnie who married Sam Musser, Delbert who did not marry, Robert married Ida Sterling, Clarence (Clyde) married Florence Lauden, and Margaret Mae who died when about eight years old in Hooker County. All of the children except Robert and Clyde spent their lives in the sandhills. John and Elsie are buried at Eclipse cemetery southwest of Mullen. Nathan E. Bassett married Sadie Sager, July 20, 1915 at Maysville, Missouri and moved to Hooker County. We came to McPherson County, in 1929. Our family consisted of five girls, None E. married Herschel Moore; Blanche C., married Leo Miller and passed away on October 9, 1939. Eva F. married Henry Railsback, Ruby A., married twice, first to Howard Prentice and then to Mike Hunt, and Rita H. married Robert O'Neill. The Bassett family had been in McPherson County since early days, there being the "Bassett" Valley in the nortwestern part of the county. I remember well the tornado at Tryon in the summer of 1933, helping care for the dead and injured in the Rev. Largent home. Nate carried the daily mail route (north) from 1934 through 1938. The blizzard of 1949 in January was one to be remembered. Our sod house (built against the side of a hill) was completely covered with snow. My husband, Nate, scooped the snow into the kitchen in order to get a way out of the house to get to the stock. No mail for weeks and a lot of cattle perished because feed could not get to them beofre they starved. Many were buried in drifts. Nate passed away in January 1975 and is buried at Miller Cemetery near Tryon. | Mortimore, Sarah Ann (I28)

While living in Iowa he met and married Adeline Fleming in Atchison County, Missouri in 1872. A son, Benjamin Brutus was born to them. They were divorced and John went on to Red Willow County, Nebraska with the wagon train in about 1880. John met and married Elsie Jane Springer, a migrant born at Milan, Missouri in 1883 at Indianola. John purchased 40 acres of land where they lived while in Red Willow County. Bessie Maud was born to them 1883 and died in 1884. She was buried near McCook, Nebraska. In 1885 Frank Eugene was born and Cara Alice arrived in 1888. A wagon train left for the McPherson County area where free land was available. They settled in a large wet valley in northwest McPherson County which became known as the Bassett Valley. John took a claim of 160 acres in Grant County, located about a mile to the southeast of the present Margaret Vinton Ranch buildings in the southeastern corner. Nathan Ellsworth was born in 1890 and since there was to be a school in Bassett Valley, the family sold the property to G.W. Swiggardt, an established rancher in the area, and moved to the southwest of Cody Lake so that Frank could attend school. The school was located in the east end of Bassett Valley Dist.#5 in McPherson County which was taught by Enda Winhuret. They lived on an 80 acres tract of land belonging to Quinns and used an adjoining 80 acres of free land. Minnie Theora was born in 1892 while they were living there. John was a hunter and trapper by trade and they moved to the North Dismal River where there was an abundance of wild game. The family built a dugout and lived there mainly on wild game and fish with whatever they could raise from a garden. They were very poor and other more fortunate families gave them handed down clothing and other necessities. During this time it is not known where the children attended school since school records are scarce and unavailable. Delbert Sheridan was born in 1895, Robert Evans in 1897 and Clarence Dewey (Clyde) in 1900. Sometime between 1900 and 1906, the family moved to the north where they took a claim of 640 acres which lay in the west end of Benjamin French's valley and partly in Frances Sexton's holdings. Margaret May was born them about 1904 or 1905 and contracted scarlet fever when about 3 or 4 years of age. She died and was buried on a hill in a pasture just to the northwest of Benjamin French's buildings. There are no records of her birth or death and she was not included in the 1910 census, but Jennie (Boyer) Wright who lived some distance to the west, recalls seeing her and remembers her illness and death. John received his Patent on the land in 1911 and sold the land shortly after. The family then moved back to southwestern Hooker County or southeastern Grant County near Elve, Nebraska, where he died the same year. He was taken to Eclipse Cemetery in southwestern Hooker County on the Chauncey Tucker Ranch and buried. It is on a hill overlooking the South Dismal River. The children, now teenagers, attended the Isney? School somewhere in Southest Hooker County during the terms of 1915-16 and 1916-17. Elsie filed on a land claim, probably about 1915, that lay just to the west of the A.J. Gragg property. Her boys built her a house and she lived there until they were pretty well grown and filing on their own land. The land was sold in about 1920 and they moved her house to the Bob Phelps place that Frank and Maude had purchased, where she lived until her death in 1924. Elsie was buried at Eclipse Cemetery beside husband John. by Thelma Bassett Pearman | Bassett, John William (I48)

She departed this life on November 24, 1924, aged 61 years, one month and six days. In 1883 whe was united in marriage to John William Bassett at McCook, Nebr. They moved to Eclipse, Hooker County in 1883. Mr. Bassett preceded his wife in death, having passed to the great beyond in March, 1913. To this union was born nine children, two of them Bessie Maude and Maggie May, died in infancy. The seven surviving children are Frank E. Bassett, Mrs. Cora Treaudon, Nathan E. Bassett, Mrs. Minnie Musser, Delbert E. Bassett, Robert Bassett and Clyde Bassett. Early in life Mrs. Bassett united with the United Methodis Episcopal church and she continued true in the faith until relieved by death and she leaves to her children and neighbors the blessed memory of a devoted wife and mother and a true and faithful friend. The funeral service was conducted from the Eclipse church Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 26, and interment made in the Eclipse Cemetery. John William and Elsie (Springer) Bassett F20 John William Bassett was born in Ohio in 1847 and migrated to Hooker County spending approximately 10 years enroute. While living in Iowa he met and married Adeline Fleming in Atchison County, Missouri in 1872. A son, Benjamin Brutus was born to them. They were divorced and John went on to Red Willow County, Nebraska with the wagon train in about 1880. John met and married Elsie Jane Springer, a migrant born at Milan, Missouri in 1883 at Indianola. John purchased 40 acres of land where they lived while in Red Willow County. Bessie Maud was born to them 1883 and died in 1884. She was buried near McCook, Nebraska. In 1885 Frank Eugene was born and Cara Alice arrived in 1888. A wagon train left for the McPherson County area where free land was available. They settled in a large wet valley in northwest McPherson County which became known as the Bassett Valley. John took a claim of 160 acres in Grant County, located about a mile to the southeast of the present Margaret Vinton Ranch buildings in the southeastern corner. Nathan Ellsworth was born in 1890 and since there was to be a school in Bassett Valley, the family sold the property to G.W. Swiggardt, an established rancher in the area, and moved to the southwest of Cody Lake so that Frank could attend school. The school was located in the east end of Bassett Valley Dist.#5 in McPherson County which was taught by Enda Winhuret. They lived on an 80 acres tract of land belonging to Quinns and used an adjoining 80 acres of free land. Minnie Theora was born in 1892 while they were living there. John was a hunter and trapper by trade and they moved to the North Dismal River where there was an abundance of wild game. The family built a dugout and lived there mainly on wild game and fish with whatever they could raise from a garden. They were very poor and other more fortunate families gave them handed down clothing and other necessities. During this time it is not known where the children attended school since school records are scarce and unavailable. Delbert Sheridan was born in 1895, Robert Evans in 1897 and Clarence Dewey (Clyde) in 1900. Sometime between 1900 and 1906, the family moved to the north where they took a claim of 640 acres which lay in the west end of Benjamin French's valley and partly in Frances Sexton's holdings. Margaret May was born them about 1904 or 1905 and contracted scarlet fever when about 3 or 4 years of age. She died and was buried on a hill in a pasture just to the northwest of Benjamin French's buildings. There are no records of her birth or death and she was not included in the 1910 census, but Jennie (Boyer) Wright who lived some distance to the west, recalls seeing her and remembers her illness and death. John received his Patent on the land in 1911 and sold the land shortly after. The family then moved back to southwestern Hooker County or southeastern Grant County near Elve, Nebraska, where he died the same year. He was taken to Eclipse Cemetery in southwestern Hooker County on the Chauncey Tucker Ranch and buried. It is on a hill overlooking the South Dismal River. The children, now teenagers, attended the Isney? School somewhere in Southest Hooker County during the terms of 1915-16 and 1916-17. Elsie filed on a land claim, probably about 1915, that lay just to the west of the A.J. Gragg property. Her boys built her a house and she lived there until they were pretty well grown and filing on their own land. The land was sold in about 1920 and they moved her house to the Bob Phelps place that Frank and Maude had purchased, where she lived until her death in 1924. Elsie was buried at Eclipse Cemetery beside husband John. by Thelma Bassett Pearman | Springer, Elsie Jane (I51)

| 51794 | WILLIAM BASSETT FAMILY Told by Sadie Bassett to daughters, Eva Rallsback and Nona Moore Our first ancestor, William Bassett, came to America from England in 1830. He and his wife, Jane (Pelham), and family settled in Huron Co., Ohio. Their children were: Edward, Elizabeth, William and Thomas (who served in the Civil War). They were all born in England. Then Lucy, George, Samuel, Henry, Maylam (who served in the Civil War) and Ellen were born in Ohio. He and his family farmed in Ohio until his death in 1862. One son, Edward, married his first wife, Sarah Mortimer, August 23, 1847 in Ohio and she lived but a short time. They started moving west with other family members. The 1850 census does not include Sarah and we find Edward was living with the Mortimer family with his two year old son, John. He then married Elizabeth Mortimer February 17, 1852. She is buried at Eclipse Cemetery southwest of Mullen and he is too. Their children were: Thomas Mahlon married Edwine Howard, Sarah M. married to Isaac Shepherd, Nathan E. married to Emily Mortimore, Ellsworth married to Ellen Quick, Clara Jane married to Mitt Hogg, and Howard U. married to Catherine Gragg. The family moved from Ohio to northeastern Iowa, then to southwestern Iowa, near Shendandoah, then to McCook and then moved on into McPherson and Hooker Counties, sometime after 1872 and filed on homestead land. Edward's oldest son, John W., was born in Ohio and was married to Adeline Fleming May 17, 1872. To this union one son, Birtrum, was born. They divorced and he then married Elsie Springer in Red Willow County, Nebraska, September 22, 1863. John and Elsie had the following children: Bessie Maud, who died in infancy and is buried at McCook, Cora Alice married Wm. Treandos, Frank who married Maude Bassett, Nathan E. who married Sadie Sager, Minnie who married Sam Musser, Delbert who did not marry, Robert married Ida Sterling, Clarence (Clyde) married Florence Lauden, and Margaret Mae who died when about eight years old in Hooker County. All of the children except Robert and Clyde spent their lives in the sandhills. John and Elsie are buried at Eclipse cemetery southwest of Mullen. Nathan E. Bassett married Sadie Sager, July 20, 1915 at Maysville, Missouri and moved to Hooker County. We came to McPherson County, in 1929. Our family consisted of five girls, None E. married Herschel Moore; Blanche C., married Leo Miller and passed away on October 9, 1939. Eva F. married Henry Railsback, Ruby A., married twice, first to Howard Prentice and then to Mike Hunt, and Rita H. married Robert O'Neill. The Bassett family had been in McPherson County since early days, there being the "Bassett" Valley in the nortwestern part of the county. I remember well the tornado at Tryon in the summer of 1933, helping care for the dead and injured in the Rev. Largent home. Nate carried the daily mail route (north) from 1934 through 1938. The blizzard of 1949 in January was one to be remembered. Our sod house (built against the side of a hill) was completely covered with snow. My husband, Nate, scooped the snow into the kitchen in order to get a way out of the house to get to the stock. No mail for weeks and a lot of cattle perished because feed could not get to them beofre they starved. Many were buried in drifts. Nate passed away in January 1975 and is buried at Miller Cemetery near Tryon. 1900 Federal Census of Whitewater Precint, McPherson County, NE (26 Jun 1900) John W.

No school records are available but he did attend where and when there was a school available. Nate began working on area ranches at an early age and filed on a homestead receiving his patent in 1914. It was located 3 miles east of "Running Water Bridge" and included a portion of the North Dismal River and to the south cornering on the Ray Ireton Section on the northeast corner. It was a square section and not too many were fortunate enough to receive such a good location. He later sold it to Jubal Wright and it became part of the Boyce estate. Nate married Sadie Sager at Maysville, Missouri in July 1915 returning to Hooker County where they worked on many crew ranches. Their family consisted of 5 daughters, Nona Elsie who married Herschel Moore, Blanch Carrie, who married Leo Miller and who passed away October 1939, after the birth of their 2nd child; Eva Frances married Henry Railshack; Rulry Alice married Howard Prentice and later Mike Hunt; Rita Harriett, married Robert O'Neill. The girls attended school wherever they worked until they were ready for high school at which time they resided in Tryon, Nebraska and the three older girls graduated from McPherson County High School. Nate carried the daily mail from Tryon north from 1934 to 1938. Nate began working for Vinton's during the summer months so the family moved to "Vinton's Camp" on the North Dismal River. Nate and the older girls rode horseback daily checking the cattle, windmills and scattering salt. During the haying season, Nate went to the main ranch to help hay and the girls looked after the cattle. Ruby and Rita both graduated from Mullen High School. Sadie and the girls would spend their winters in Mullen then go back to the country during the summer. Nate built a sod house into a hillside at "Running Water Bridge" in about 1939 or '40 when Rita was still small. In 1949, the snow completely covered Nate's house and he had to scoop the snow back into the house until he could get a pathway cut through it to get out and get to his livestock. He continued to scatter salt and check wells for Vintons for many years while living there. He pastured his cattle with Vintons during the summer. Nate and Sadie continued to live there after the children were all gone until ill health forced them to move back to Tryon where they purchased a home to be near Nina. Nate passed away in January 1975 and was buried at Miller Cemeter near Tryon. Sadie sold the property and moved to the Pawnee Retirement Hotel in North Platte, Nebraska where she lived until she fell and had to be placed in Badon Manor Nursing Home. She is now confined to a wheel chair with failing eyesight at age 84. Father Mike adopted them as his family and spent much time with them picking fruit along the river for Sadie. He checked on them after each storm while they lived at the "Soddy on the Dismal". He visits Sadie in North Platte regularly. By Thelma Bassett Pearman | Bassett, Nathan Ellsworth (I55)

Bassett married Sadie Sager, July 20, 1915 at Maysville, Missouri and moved to Hooker County. We came to McPherson County, in 1929. Our family consisted of five girls, None E. married Herschel Moore; Blanche C., married Leo Miller and passed away on October 9, 1939. Eva F. married Henry Railsback, Ruby A., married twice, first to Howard Prentice and then to Mike Hunt, and Rita H. married Robert O'Neill. The Bassett family had been in McPherson County since early days, there being the "Bassett" Valley in the nortwestern part of the county. I remember well the tornado at Tryon in the summer of 1933, helping care for the dead and injured in the Rev. Largent home. Nate carried the daily mail route (north) from 1934 through 1938. The blizzard of 1949 in January was one to be remembered. Our sod house (built against the side of a hill) was completely covered with snow. My husband, Nate, scooped the snow into the kitchen in order to get a way out of the house to get to the stock. No mail for weeks and a lot of cattle perished because feed could not get to them beofre they starved. Many were buried in drifts. Nate passed away in January 1975 and is buried at Miller Cemetery near Tryon. | Bassett, Rita H. (I71)
