How This County Came to be - Martin County
Bassett

William Orlando Bassett was numbered among the early settlers of
Martin County, arriving in Tenhassen Township in 1863 where he began the
development of a farm, living in true pioneer style.
They had four children, one of which was Ashley M. Bassett, born July
1, 1840, and married Mary Garner. They had five children; William J. married
Katie Personius; Nellie, married George Champine; Ila, married Chester
Personius; Daisy, married Lever Champine, and Solomon C. who married May
Palmer.
I don't know much more of this family's older history and there is no
one left to ask. Written by Robert Champine.


OBITUARY OF WM. O. BASSETT

William Orland Bassett was born in Tompkins County, New York in 1815.
His father died when he was a little more than a year old and he then went to
live with his grandfather, Peter Powers, with whom he remained during h
boyhood and youth. The common schools of the neighborhood afforded him
educational privilege, and he made his first start in life at farm work.
Industry and perseverance were traits in his character which were early
manifested, and he worked long and earnestly to get a start in lif
In 1839 he was united in marriage to Katie Maria DeCondris and settled
in New York removing a few years later to Port Washington, Wisconsin and in
1863 he came to Martin County, Minnesota, settling on a homestead in Tenhassen
Township and for years enduring all the trials and hardships of a true pioneer
life. He lived on his farm thirty one years, transforming the raw prairie into
rich and fertile fields, literally making the desert to bud and blossom as the
rose.
In 1893 Mr. Bassett sold his farm and came to Fairmont with his wife
to reside, and after the latter's death (about two years ago) he made his home
with his son Ashley M. Bassett, where he died, on Tuesday, May 13 at the
advanced age of 87 years.
Besides his son and daughter, Mrs. W. C. Persons of Ceylon survive
him. Mr. Bassett was an honest upright independent man, and enjoyed the
respect and confidence of all who knew him. He loved his home, his country,
and his God. He showed his love of country by following the stars and stripes
through the struggle of the civil war. He was wounded at the Battle of Shilo
and carried the scar of the gunshot wound to his death.
He showed his love of God and his desire to please him by being a kind
husband, a good father and an accommodating neighbor. In all the relations of
life, whether a citizen, a soldier or a Christian, he was always faithful and
true. He was a man of the strictest integrity, genial and accommodating, and one
who made friends of all with whom he came in contact. He has passed to the
home beyond but his memory will live in the hearts of many who through his
influence and example were led to live higher and better lives.

Memorial Record of the Counties of Faribault, Martin, Watonwan and Jackson
By Solomon Canright (1895)

William Orlando Bassett, a retired farmer now living in Fairmont, is
numbered among the honored early settlers of Martin County, his residence here
covering a period of nearly a third of a century. He has therefore witnessed
the greater part of its development and progress, and has aided in its
upbuilding and advancement. The best interests of the community have ev
found in him a friend, and to such men the county owes its present prosperity.
Mr. Bassett is descended from an old New York family. His grandfather,
Isaac Bassett, lived for many years in Cortland, New York, and the father of
our subject, William Bassett, claimed Connecticut as the state of his
nativity. He was drafted for service in the war of 1812, but it was difficult
for him to go and he sent a substitute. He married Samantha Powers, a native
of Dutchess County, New York, and a daughter of Peter Powers, a local
Methodist preacher. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bassett was celebrated in the
State of their birth, and there the father died November 5, 1816, at the age
of twenty-eight years, his birth having occurred January 17, 1787. His wife
was born September 2, 1789. After her husband's death she lived with her
family in Tompkins County, New York, rearing her children as best she might,
although her financial resources were somewhat limited. Her last days were
passed in Middleville, Michigan, at the home of her son, Charles Wesley, and
she was called to her final rest when more than sixty years of age. In the
family were four children, George, Charles and Nelson, all now deceased, and
William O., whose name heads this record.
The last named was born October 18, 1815 in Tompkins County, New York,
and when he was little more than a year old his father died. He then went to
live with his grandfather, Peter Powers, with whom he remained during t
greater part of his boyhood and youth. The common schools of the neighborhood
afforded him his educational privileges, and he made his first independent
effort in life at farm work, being employed as a farm hand for several years.
His industry and perseverance, which have been important factors in his life's
success, were early manifested, and he worked long and earnestly to g
start in life.
On the 1st of January, 1839, Mr. Bassett was united in marriage with
Miss Katie Marie De Coudress, a native of Dryden, Cortland County, New York,
and a daughter of Christian and Katie (Powers) De Coudress, the former a
native of France and the latter of Dutchess County, New York. Their marriage
was celebrated in the Empire State and they located in Dutchess County,
removing thence to Dryden. On leaving the East they became residents of
Wisconsin, the date of their emigration being 1851. They settled in Port
Washington, where both died of cholera. In their family were nine children,
including Mrs. Bassett, who was born March 31, 1818. To our subject and his
wife have been born four children, as follows: Ashley M., born July 1, 1840,
wedded Mary Garner and they have five living children: William J., who married
Katie Presonius; Nellie, wife of George Champine, by whom she has two
children, Mabel and Sybil; Ila Maud, wife of Chester Personius; Daisy Dean,
wife of Leaver Champine, by whom she has two children, Ashley and Madeline;
and Solomon C., who married May Palmer. Jerome, the second of the family, is
now deceased. Mary Iantha, born March 31, 1844, is the wife of Walter Person,
and their children, four in number, are: Katie, wife of William Beach and the
mother of five children - May, Carrie, Earl, Burns and Linn; Annie, wife of
Frank Rooney, by whom she has two children, Frank and Tressa; Burns and Jesse,
both at home. Jerome, born January 23, 1847, married Sophia Nichols and
afterward wedded I.N. Drake; his five children are: Annie, wife of George Clark
and the mother of four children - Georgianna, Harry, Archie and Rosie; George;
Frederick; and Ada P., who married James Lampord, and has a daughter, Miriam
Alice. Jessie completes the Bassett family.
Upon his marriage Mr. Bassett, whose name heads this article, located
in New York, removing after a few years to Port Washington, Wisconsin, where
he made his home until 1863, which year witnessed his arrival in Martin
county. He settled in Tenhassen township and began the development of a farm,
living in true pioneer style. The few settlers of the locality were widely
scattered and the people were quite fearful of the Indians about the time of
his arrival. He broke his land and transformed the raw prairie into rich and
fertile fields, also added many improvements to the place in the way of good
buildings and the other accessories of a model farm. He lived on the farm for
thirty-one years, successfully conducting and managing his business affairs,
and then removed to Fairmont, where he has since lived a retired life,
enjoying a well-earned rest and the fruits of his former toi
During the late war Mr. Bassett responded to his country's call for
troops, thus manifesting his loyalty to the Union and the northern cause. He
was assigned to Company F, Sixteenth Wisconsin Infantry, and at the battle of
Shiloh was seriously wounded by a gunshot in the right forearm, which disabled
him for further duty, and in consequence of his physical disability he was
honorably discharged in Madison, Wisconsin. He is now a member of the Grand
Army Post of Fairmont. When the Republican party was formed to prevent the
further extension of slavery he joined its ranks and is still one of its
stalwart supporters. He has served as Supervisor of Tenhassen Township, but
has never aspired to public office, preferring to give his entire time to his
business interests. The cause of education has ever found in him a warm
friend, and he gave land on which to build a schoolhouse. The best interests
of the community have ever received his earnest support and co-operation, and
he is widely recognized as a wide-awake, progressive citizen.

52074 Williams-Gores Funeral Home, Delton, Michigan, 9 January 2024
Leeland C. Bass

Leeland Charles Bass passed away on the morning of January 8th, 2024, after a brief illness. He passed in his favorite recliner, surrounded by the hearts he had raised. He entered his final season reminding his girls that there should be no tears, and he savored his last steaming cup of tea the morning before his passing. He lived right up until he died: walking the woods, tending his garden, and sending Christmas cards.
Born in Hastings, Michigan, August 9, 1933. The son of George and Ethel (Little) Bass, Lee was raised in Nashville, Michigan, by a kind, quiet father and a trailblazing mother who held a UAW picket line not long after she was granted the right to vote. Consumed by tales of the North since he was a pup and a voracious reader for as long, Lee was a devoted patron of the Putnam District Library when the family visited town, returning home most often with White Fang or Call of The Wild.
He graduated from Maple Valley High School in 1952 and joined the service one year later, and to his delight he was stationed in Hawaii during the Korean War. He excelled at tinkering and was naturally inclined to disassemble and reassemble anything mechanical so found himself assigned the role of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician and forever boasted to have had all 10 fingers and toes with him at the separation of service. He reminisced stories of young men in empty fields detonating bombs, which undoubtedly contributed to his lifetime of poor hearing.
Always adamant about education, after his military service, he used the GI bill to pursue courses in electronics. In 1959 he met his future wife, Betty, who, along with little Pammy, accompanied him to Florida where they married in 1960, on a day where they aligned their lunch breaks to allow time for a stop at the courthouse before clocking back in. Ever pragmatic.
The growth in his career saw Lee and his family, now including second daughter Laurie, move to Washington County, Maine, where he was employed by the Federal Aviation Administration as a radar technician and stationed at Bucks Harbor AFB. The family lived in Cooper for 14 years. He was delighted to work with the Cooper community and served on the school board, volunteer fire department and counted Justin Day as a good friend.
In 1979, the family returned to Michigan, and he retired from the Kalamazoo Battle Creek Airport at a GS 13 level. Immediately bored with retirement, he went on to work for Raytheon Technologies where he traveled throughout the US and continued in the field of radar electronics.
From the perspective of those writing this, and declared by him endlessly, his true life's work and purpose began after his complete retirement - because from then on, he was a full-time grandpa, at which he excelled.
Magnificently intelligent Betty Bass was lost to cancer in 1995. They had shared a lifetime together and yet now have spent nearly a lifetime apart. But there is beauty here. Lee has great grandchildren who were not yet born by Betty's death, and grandchildren who were hardly old enough to remember her on their own - yet they know her. They know her through his adoring stories and consistent affirmations.
Reveling in any opportunity to support his grandkids, he began dog mushing in his 60s, with his granddaughter. Winter weekends were spent running dogs and holding council around a fire. Beaming with pride when his granddaughter raced.
He was a man with a deep love of the outdoors. An avid hunter, he took annual trips to Newfoundland and served his family his (painfully spicy) moose chili, never quite perfecting a recipe- or making the same version twice. If the venison was running low, he'd substitute for "hamburg" but his story of the hunt would remain unchanged.
Lee fished, and loved a good summer day that he could sit in his leaky rowboat with a grandkid and a bluegill on the line. He found delight in nature and in sharing it. Creating hunting and fishing memories, especially through the eyes of his grandkids and/or their friends (yes, he would take whoever was available, his own or not) was his true North and occupied the majority of his daily thoughts.
He always wore a dirty fishing hat and an old button-up collared shirt with paint-stained Levi jeans and smelled like sunshine and leather. Unless he went to town, then he'd smell like bar soap and Old Spice and don his "town hat". He grew a massive garden, canned tomatoes, dried peppers, and boiled maple syrup. He walked his country block picking up litter, scoured the woods for mushrooms, chopped wood, raised chickens, and loved fried green tomatoes. He avoided mustard and rhubarb pie, always had ice cream, and added salt to everything. He saved coffee cans and peanut butter jars, boxes, and buckets. He was left-handed and wrote letters, the ink was often smeared as he pushed his words through the previously penned lines. He signed his notes "Love, Grandpa." He said, "holy cats" when he was surprised, and swatted dogs and flies with a rolled-up newspaper. He read biographies, journals and magazines and would regale you with summaries of his learnings. He could do trigonometry with a slide rule. He'd problem solve with wedges and pulley-systems. He made popcorn and choked non-stop on the kernels. He'd hum along with "Delta Dawn" playing at a deafening volume. He was a good neighbor, a dependable friend and grandpa to many kids who were not his own. His house was the childhood home to 3 of his granddaughters, he was a refuge in hard times.
His endless lessons, grandpa-isms, and very odd fears about things only grandpa would worry about (how long a radio is plugged in, how to store your boots in the summer, when to take the highway vs back roads) will live firmly in the hearts and actions of his daughters and their families. Much like how he constantly elevated Betty Bass long after she was gone through endless tales of his love, the legacy of Lee will live on for generations in the words of his daughters, granddaughters, grandsons, and great-grandchildren. He left them with plenty of stories to tell.
Lee Bass lived for his family.
The current of his love was strong and constant.
It washed over everything.
If it's been lived well, closing a life breaks a few hearts. He said no tears.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty, his eight siblings, and his grandson-in-law, Travis Robertson.
He is survived by his daughters, Pam (John) Barnard and Laurie Hammond; his grandchildren, Charlie (Tina) Barnard, Jennifer (Chris) Barnard, John Jr, Meg (Scott Starr) Robertson; Katie (Evan) Frederick, Annie (Sara) Hammond, and great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, take a kid fishing.
Lee's family will receive friends on Thursday, January 11, 2024, 5:00 to 7:00 PM at the Williams-Gores Funeral Home where his funeral service will be conducted on Friday, January 12, 2024 at 1:00 PM.

Carol Bass
October 23, 1958 ? September 7, 2022

Carol Loraine Bass, 63, of Wilmington, NC entered peacefully into eternity joining her Savior on September 07, 2022, surrounded by her family and loved ones. Carol was preceded in death by her father Elliott Thomas Bass Jr., her mother Jean Daughtry Pate, her brother Elliott Thomas Bass III, her stepfather WC Pate, and many loving uncles and aunts. She is survived by her aunt Glenda (Gunny) and aunt Ann and many loving cousins.
Carol was born on October 23, 1958 and grew up in the small town of Clinton, NC. Her life was truly one marked by infectious joy and an overcoming spirit. To know Carol was to love her. At age 11, she was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Although debilitating, she never allowed this to prohibit her from an incredible joy-filled and love-filled life. At age 12, Carol?s journey was forever marked by accepting Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. She was baptized at Grove Park Baptist Church in Clinton. After overcoming many obstacles along the way, Carol graduated highschool with honors. She pushed on, obtaining both an impressive undergraduate degree in Social Work and a Masters of Arts degree in Counseling. Although some told her it was impossible, Carol did it anyway. She credited her success to the Lord and to the many loving friends and family members who supported her. ?Miss Bass? triumphed on to work as a most beloved Counselor at Blair Elementary School in Wilmington, NC for nearly 32 years. She was cherished by students, parents, faculty/staff, friends and family. Carol was an incredibly loyal member of Myrtle Grove Presbyterian Church (MGPC) for 37 years.
Carol will be deeply missed and yet always remembered in the countless lives she touched that will echo throughout eternity. Her passing was truly our great loss and her exceedingly great gain. May we all find comfort in the many good lessons that her life taught us. We are all better for having known her. What a true gift. May we be comforted by the indescribably good gift of her Salvation who promises us that she will never again experience even the slightest pain or sorrow. Carol always wished to be rid of her wheelchair and arthritis- well that day has come! May she run, leap, dance and twirl with her Savior for all of eternity?some even say possibly wearing those high heels she wanted.
A journal entry from Carol reads, ?My greatest interests are knowing Christ, serving Christ and feeding His sheep. Allowing kids to hear the gospel and see Jesus through me- although not always perfect I freely admit.? May we all hear the words Carol hears, ?Well done my good and faithful servant.?
Carol requested a celebration of life be held in her honor as opposed to a traditional funeral service. Please wear your favorite colorful attire and remember her favorite color is pink. We request all of Carol?s loved ones join us in celebrating her beautiful life this Saturday September 17, 2022 @ 10:00am at Myrtle Grove Presbyterian Church on 800 Piner Road Wilmington, NC. Please visit this website below that honors her life and includes a link to support a fund in Carol?s honor for youth.

Died

Near Washington, Texas, on Thursday, 24th March, 1859, at 7 o?clock, A.M. at the age of 34 years, 6 months and 14 days, Mrs. Jane O. Bass, widow of Kilby Bass, formerly of Kenansville, N.C., but for the last 9 years of her life a resident of Washington county, Texas. Thus, while in the early bloom of life, a kind and pious mother, a lovely and affectionate sister, and and obliging friend and neighbor has been removed from our midst, and we earnestly hope carried to that haven of rest where pain and affliction are felt no more; for, having been an exemplary member of the Baptist Church for the last 10 or 12 years of her life, we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we sincerely believe that she was a Christian on earth and now an Angel in Heaven. The deceased was, for the last 3 years of her life, laboring under that fatal disease, consumption, and for the last 6 months of that period continued to her bed; but being a Christian-hearted woman, she bore her sickness with the greatest fortitude and patience ? never uttering a word of complaint. She was conscious that she was dying even to the last moments of her life, when she closed her eyes on earth only to be opened in Heaven.
Mrs. Bass leaves five dear and affectionate children, two kind and loving sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her death. Herald please copy.

Tribute of Respect

Departed this life, in the hands of the enemy, our beloved brother, Lewis Uriah Bass, and son of L.G. and Mary Bass, aged 16 years, 9 months and 8 days. Although he being young, felt it his duty to forsake father and mother and all that is near to man at home and to go and obey his country?s call to meet the invading foe, and to contend for his rights and privielges. He entered service two years ago in this month (May) where he continued faithful at his post until the Gettysburg fight, where he was unfortunately captured by the enemy and carried to Fort Delaware where he was kept for about seven months, then carried to Point Lookouit and continued until he was attacked with pneumonia, which terminated his existence in this unfriendly world, on the 7th of March, 1864. Thus has fallen a patriotic youth, a friend to his country and dutiful son. Although it is painful to our hearts to think he was called away while in the hands of his enemy, where there was no friends, father nor mother to console him in all his troubles and afflictions. But the Lord?s will must be done and not ours, therefore we bow in humble admission to his will, believing that our loss is his eternal gaijn. We believe that he obeyed that Divine injunction to Remember his Creator in the days of his youth. In October, 1860, he connected himself with the Baptist Church at Beaverdam, duplin County, N.C., and lived the life of a Christian, so far as we know, until death took him to rest from all his sufferings. On the morning of the resurrection he will arise triumphant over al lhis enemies with a body fashioned like unto the glorious body of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, then to enjoy that rest that is prepared for the people of God.
Asleep in Jesus, far from thee
Thy kindred and there graves may be;
But thine is still a blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep.
 
Bass, Lewis Uriah (I35255)
