Charles Burbage


Retired Navy Capt. Charles Lee Burbage, 88, of Annapolis, and previously of Memphis, Tenn., and Ocean city, died Oct. 15 at Ginger Cove Health Center after a on-day illness.

Born Feb. 28, 1918, in Berlin in Worcester County, Capt. Burbage graduated in 1935 from Ocean City High School and in 1936 from the Naval Academy Preparatory School. In 1941 he graduated from the Naval Academy where he played on the football team.

In 1971 he retired after 36 years in the Navy and then worked for 10 years for the Holiday Inn Corp. in Memphis.

On Dec. 7, 1941, he was on the USS Detroit during the attack on Pearl Harbor and helped to save the ship by getting underway and rescuing many who were in the harbor waters.

He had a long and eventful career in the military, where he became a jet pilot and flight instructor and was assigned to Fighter Squadron 5 aboard the carrier USS Franklin. He was preparing to begin a flight off the carrier when it was bombed by the Japanese. He survived by jumping from the upper deck into the sea and swimming for several hours before being rescued by a whaling ship.

Capt. Burbage was a member of the elite Golden Eagles, a club for decorated jet pilots, as well as the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association and the Association of Naval Aviators.

He enjoyed decoy carving, fishing, golf and handball and in his younger years was the Navy's national handball champion for two years. He remained a Class A-ranked handball player.

On Sept. 29, 1942, he married the former Mary Teresa Niland, who died earlier this year. Surviving are two sons, Tom Burbage of Atlanta, Ga., and Jim Burbage of Naples, Fla., four daughters, Nancy Ohanian of Burke, Va., Carol Burbage of Gaithersburg, Joan Hawkins of Cordova, Ind., and Mary Lee "Mimi" Burbage of Anchorage, Alaska; 13 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

52012 William Wallace Bass Collection, 1848 ? 1976
Arizona Historical Society
Biographical note

William Wallace Bass was born on October 2, 1848 in Shelbyville, Indiana. He came to Arizona in 1883 for his health and became one of the first settlers on the south rim of the Grand Canyon when he located a camp there in 1884. Realizing the Canyon's great tourist potential, he constructed a stage road to his camp, first from Williams, then from Ashfork, both approximately seventy miles distant. He began advertising for the tourist trade in 1885, although at this time his principal activities in the Canyon were mining and prospecting.
From 1885 until 1926, when he sold his interests to the Santa Fe Land and Improvement Company, Bass played an important role in the evolution of the mining and tourist industries at the Grand Canyon. He traced and built over 140 miles of roads and more than forty miles of trails, connecting his mines, camps and scenic viewpoints. He built cisterns and dams to collect and preserve rain water and established first a boat, then a cable ferry, across the Colorado River. He was also a photographer and built a darkroom below the Canyon rim to accommodate the photographers who frequented his camp. He was instrumental in starting a school at the Grand Canyon in 1911.
Bass' tourists facilities were located twenty-seven miles west of present day Grand Canyon Village. When the railroad arrived there in 1901, Bass built a house five miles from its terminus to provide an overnight stop for his guests. Later, when tourist traffic increased and drives along the rim became popular, he constructed yet another house, one mile from Grand Canyon Village, in order to make his business more competitive.
William Wallace Bass was endowed with great intellectual curiosity. He was a self-taught geologist who had his own theory of how the Grand Canyon was formed. He also wrote poetry, though he was too modest to call it that, referring to his verse as "rhymes and jingles" instead. In fact, he published some of them under that very title, and, later, another book entitled, "Adventures in the Canyons of the Colorado".
Bass was a good friend of the Havasupai Indians and often visited them, alone or with tourist parties. He gave them seeds and was instrumental in having a school and post office established there. He also employed some of them from time to time and interceded on their behalf in Washington.
William Wallace Bass' wide ranging interests, intellectual curiosity and desire to learn were qualities unique among the early tourist operators at the Grand Canyon. He was called a "visionary" by some of his contemporaries, and, indeed, with justification. He not only foresaw some of the later developments at the Canyon but took the necessary steps to adjust to them. This was characteristic of his entire forty-two years at the Canyon.
Bass realized the Canyon's tourist potential from the beginning and built his stage roads to accommodate the tourists who were sure to come with the completion of the Atlantic-Pacific Railroad, the forerunner of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. He saw the need for a spur line to the Grand Canyon and actively lobbied for its construction, chairing the first organizational meeting of the Grand canyon Railroad at the town of Williams in 1894. Although his own efforts were unsuccessful, the railroad was eventually built, reaching the Canyon twenty-seven miles east of his tourist facilities. Bass was ready; he had constructed a stage road from t he railroad to his camp. Then, as the number of visitors increased over the years, he moved his tourist operation closer and closer to the railroad terminal at Grand Canyon Village.
Bass was quick to recognize the importance of the automobile and the change it would create in travel patterns; he welcomed it and the opportunity it presented to break the railroad's monopoly on travel to the Grand Canyon. He bought the first automobile for his business in 1914 and added another one later on. He lobbied for good roads and put up road signs between Ashfork and the Canyon at his own expense. Finally, as his Canyon years drew to a close, he dreamt of incorporating the airplane in his tourist business, anticipating thereby yet another development that was to change tourism at the Grand Canyon. He shouldn't, perhaps, be faulted if he did not see the problems signs, automobiles, airplanes and an ever increasing number of visitors would create half a century later.
Through his Washington contracts, William Wallace Bass played an active role in the various legislative proposals affecting the Grand Canyon from the initial establishment of Grand Canyon National Park in 1919. He often did not agree with the proposals and his opposition resulted in lively correspondence with this Washington friends. He frequently carried his arguments into newspapers near and far.
When the Fred Harvey organization was given the contract as the principal concessionaire at the Grand Canyon National Park, the days of the Bass tourist business were numbered. The seventy-one-year-old Bass had neither the energy, nor the resources, to compete with Fred Harvey and the Santa Fe Railroad. In 1923, he entertained his last guest and the family moved to Wickenburg, Arizona. Characteristically, the first thing Bass did there was to open a tourist camp in a grove of mesquite trees along the Hassayampa River. In 1926, he completed the sale of his Canyon holdings to the Santa Fe Land and Improvement Company. He died in Wickeburg in 1933, at the age of eighty-four. In accordance with his last request, his ashes were deposited by airplane on Bass Tomb, a prominent peak in the Canyon that commands a view of the section he explored and developed.
Ada Lenore Diefendorf was born on August 29, 1867 in New York. She was a music teacher and came to Arizona to teach in Williams. She met William Wallace as a tourist to the Grand Canyon in 1894. They were married on January 5, 1895. They had four children, Edith Jane born August 22, 1896; William Guy born July 26, 1900; Hazel born October 5, 1903; and Mabelle Melba born April 25, 1905.
Ada helped William W. with secretary work for the mining companies and even owned shares in some of the mines. She occasionally taught music. She wrote in her diary regularly from 1895 to 1929. She had her hands full with children, water shortages, visiting tourists, loneliness when William W. was away prospecting and touring. Ada survived William by eighteen years and passed away, also at the age of eighty-four, in 1951.

First to Apply Spectroscope to Routine Work in the Non-Ferrous Industry
Special to the New York Times

WATERBURY, Conn., July 21 - William Hastings Bassett, metallurgical
manager of the American Brass Company and president of the American Society
for Testing Metals, died suddenly this morning at his home in Cheshire. He was
66 years old. Death was caused by embolism
Mr. Bassett, a pioneer metallurgist in the brass industry, had enjoyed
a nation-wide prestige for several years for his contributions to that branch
of the industry. In 1925 he was awarded the James Douglas Medal for research
in copper and brass and other non-ferrous metals and their alloys and for his
contributions to the establishment of high standards of quality. During the
World War he was a member of the committee on materials and airplane
construction at Washington.

History of Waterbury and the Naugatuck Valley, Connecticut
William H. Bassett

William H. Bassett, technical superintendent and metallurgist with the
American Brass Company, has had broad experience in this line based upon
thorough college training. He was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, March 7,
1868, a son of William A. and Almira D. (Mayhew) Bassett. The father was
engaged in the wholesale and commission fish business.
The son was accorded liberal educational opportunities, supplementing
his public school course by study in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
of Boston, from which he was graduated with the class of 1891. In so doing he
followed his natural trend and he has since further developed his talen
along that line, his success being based upon comprehensive study and close
application. He entered upon life’s practical duties as an employee of the
Pope’s Island Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of white metal and
jewelers’ supplies, his position being that of chemist and metallurgist. For
some time he held the position of superintendent with that company, with which
he continued in active connection until 1900. He then entered the employ of
the New Jersey Zinc Company and when he resigned two years later he accepted
the position of chemist with the Coe Brass Manufacturing Company of
Torrington. Later he received appointment to the position of chemist and
metallurgist with the American Brass Company and is now occupying that place
of prominence and responsibility. His duties have further been broadened in
his appointment to the position of technical superintendent. The value and
worth of his service, is acknowledged by all. He had become an expert in this
line, his opinion being largely accepted as authority upon many importa
questions relative to the profession.
In 1892 Mr. Bassett was united in marriage to Miss Sarah H. Whiting,
of New Bedford, Massachusetts, and they have become the parents of a daughter
and a son: Alice W., who attended the Quincy Mansion School and is n
home; and William H., Jr. who is a student in the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. The family reside in Cheshire and they are members of the
Congregational church there.
Mr. Bassett gives his political allegiance to the republican party,
while fraternally he is well known as a member of Temple Lodge, No. 16, A.F.&
A.M., of Cheshire, and of St. Elmo Commandery, K.T., of Meriden. His
membership extends largely to scientific societies, his name being on the roll
of the American Society of Testing Materials, in which he is serving on the
executive committee. He is also on the advisory committee on metals for the
bureau of standards at Washington, D.C., has membership with the Americ
Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers,
the American Institute of Metals, the British Institute of Metals, the
American Chemical Society, and is a fellow of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science. He is a member of the Chemists Club of New York, of
the Manufacturers Club of Ansonia, of the Torrington Club and of the Waterbury
Club. While his thought and study have largely been directed along scientific
lines, his is a well rounded nature, the interests and activities of citizenship and
of social life making a responsive appeal to him.

Officer William Harrison Bassett, member of the Town Constabulary,
Special Police, Detective and State Officer for many years, died at his home
on Oak Street about noon, Saturday, aged 79 years, 8 months, 19 days. He had
been a sufferer from Chronic Rheumatism for a year or two, but his fatal
illness was only a few days and directly caused by hardening of the arteries
as stated by the family physician, Dr. Handy. Born in Harwich, son of Stephen
and Hepsabeth Bassett.
Mr. Bassett made his duties as a public officer a matter of personal
pride. He was fearless among evil doers and they learned to show proper
respect as to their behavior in his presence. Law and order greatly
benefited locally by his exercised authority. His ability and success as a
detective was recognized many time in this section of the state, and no
prosecution officer in the county was better known.
Although exacting and imperative, he had a kind heart and was
considerate and lenient whenever possible. It was characteristic of him after
making an arrest to turn his attention to helping the culprit out of trouble.
Surviving are sons: William H. Jr., Edgar, and Merton. Two sisters: Mrs.
Hepsabeth Cahoon, Mrs. Abbie Cahoon, and a daughter Anna.

Gazetteer of Washington County, Vt. (1889)

William Bassett, originally from Massachusetts, came to Barre from
Pomfret, Windsor county, about 1811. In his early life he was a sailor on a
merchant trader plying between Boston and the West Indies. He first settled in
the eastern part of the town, and later removed to Gospel Village, where his
grandson, C.H. Bassett, now lives, and where he died. He married Lucy Russell,
who purchased her wedding trousseau with funds she had earned at housework at
fifty cents per week. Their children were William, Jr., Lucy, Ira, George W.,
and Merrill. Ira is a natural mechanic and musician, and resides in Chicago.
Without instruction he has made three pipe organs. One of them is still in use
