| 52606 | Written by Evelyn Green Read by Terry Stoddard at the funeral 8 Oct 1987 Olive Pearl Bassett was born in Belleville, Ontario, Canada in 1883, the second of six daughters of Samuel and Evaline Bassett of Toronto. As a young woman she found employment in the store of Eaton's, where she met her future husband, Egerton Jackson Hoover. They were married in September 1904 and left at once for Winnipeg, where he had been appointed the catalog manager of the Hudson's Bay Company. They made their home in Winnipeg, where their daughters were born. They were faithful members of the Fort Rouge Methodist Church, and brought up their little daughters with loving kindness and a strong emphasis by their example on the Christian virtues of truth, honor and compassion toward others. But after twelve years this happy family life was broken by the loss of the young husband who gave his life in an heroic effort to save his office boy from death in a warehouse fire, and Olive was left alone, at the age of 33, with six small daughters, aged from 10 years down to 14 months, and with a very limited amount of insurance money to care for them. But she managed for five years all alone to take care of her children. This meant shovelling seven tons of coal into the furnace during the harsh Winnipeg winters, sifting the ashes; washing clothes by hand - there were no washing machines then - hanging them out to freeze on the lines, bringing them in frozen stiff to finish drying indoors; baking bread, and doing all the cooking and canning on the wood and coal range in the kitchen; it meant calling her children from their icy cold bedrooms to dress by the kitchen stove. It also meant reading the Bible to them daily in the family worship period set aside each morning before school. Besides all this, she managed to make all their clothes, hats and coats included, often making things over, or altering the sizes to fit the younger members. Christmas and birthday celebrations were always observed, with little money but by many homemade gifts. The girls' lessons were always important, and she helped explain and drill when needed, so her daughters did well in school. But the five years were hard, so finally she listened to her parents' plea to come to California where they had found living conditions to be easier. So in 1921 she moved her children to Los Angeles. There she quickly found a new church, the West Adams Methodist Church, where she and her daughters were active members for many years, until the daughters grew up and moved away. She also became a naturalized American citizen. She was determined to carry out her late husband's wishes and send all her daughters to college. So she continued keeping house, sewing and cooking for the family, often with no more than a few cents in the house, walking miles to find food bargains in the grocery stores, but never giving up and always making a haven of security for her daughters. And she succeeded. All her daughters graduated from Los Angeles High School with honors, and all attended UCLA, five of them graduating with a bachelor's degree, four took post graduate work, and one a PhD degree. She was very proud that one became an elementary teacher, two high school teachers, one a UCLA professor, one a hospital dietition, and one a secretary. After 17 years of widowhood, Olive was married again to Dr. Godfrey Ehrlich, a member of the German Department at UCLA. Later she moved with him to Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. There she continued in her self-effacing life of quiet and friendly helpfulness to others until her husband's sudden death in 1945. Again she was a widow, so at age 62 she returned to California, determined to devote her life again to her daughters. She became, as she had been a mother, a grandmother, ready to help any grandchild who needed her. Many of them can recall staying weekends, or whole vacations, with her. And one child, who had problems adjusting and couldn't learn in the regular schools, stayed for long periods with her and became a happily conforming person and learned to read from her - to the extent that Olive was even approached by a school official to ask if she would become a teacher of retarded children. She had to decline this honor, but did help some others with learning problems. She was always full of fun and ready to play games with her friends and family, and ready to try out any new ideas which presented themselves. She wrote poems for children and for many different occasions, and entered contests, winning many. She completed with her own hand labor a small frame cabin in the San Bernardino Mountains and when the altitude proved too much for her heart, she followed her daughter, Doreen Alexander, to Sunny Valley and coverted two half-built shacks into livable vacation cottages, both of which are being used now by her descendants. Her permanent home for many years was on the Strand in Manhattan Beach, California. But when old age was approaching she lived for a time in an apartment beside her daughter Jean Dunn's home, and later lived for several years with her widowed daughter Audrey Stoddard. When the latter developed Alzheimer's disease and had to give up her home, Olive came to live with her daughter Hazel Evans, and has been very happy with Hazel and Tom Evans for the past three years, living quietly and smiling happily at any visitor who came to see them. A year ago she was honored at the Easter Parade at Wolf Creek. On September 12 she fell and broke her hip. She seemed to be recovering well from the operation, and the doctors expected her to walk again, and with her willpower and courage she had a good chance to do so. But on Monday, October 5, after eating her breakfast and chatting and laughing with the nurses, she died. She was truly a blessing to all who knew her. | Ehrlich, Doctor Godfrey (I37)

| 52611 | Written by Virginia Bassett Alleman, 1956 One best that I know and understand of the Bassetts of my father's immediate family is that they came directly from England to the colony of Virginia; they came sometime after the execution of Charles I (1649); they were Cavaliers. Colonel William Bassett of Virginia was a close relation to my great-grandfather Bassett. I have no reason to believe that he was a brother, but possibly a nephew or first cousin. My great-grandfather Bassett (first name unknown to me) was born in Charles City County, Virginia. My grandfather, William Henry Bassett, was also born in Charles City County, Virginia. He was born October 24, 1796. He became an orphan before the age of five; both his parents having died in an epidemic. At that tender age he was adopted and reared by the mother of William Henry Harrison, who later became president of the United States. This relative of my grandfather's (exact relation unknown) was Elizabeth Bassett, wife of Benjamin Harrison, signer of the Declaration of Independence. She was the daughter of Colonel William Bassett of "Eltham" in Virginia. Then still in his teens my grandfather, William Henry Bassett, went to sea. Not many years later, I was told, he owned a coastwise ship that plied between Norfolk, Virginia and New York City. On January 22, 1822 he married Eleanor O'Neill of Baltimore, Maryland. Some family papers state that they were married in Washington, D.C.; other papers say Alexandria, D.C. At any rate, their first child (my father Joseph Carter Bassett) was born in Washington, D.C. on December 31, 1822. Their second child, William Henry Jr. came into this world in New York City. In the early 1830's my grandfather with his family and in his own ship came to Louisiana. He visited New Orleans; he also visited the coast of Cuba and Central America, then came up the Atchafalaya River to a small fishing village, now called Morton City, Louisiana. From there, he proceeded up the Teche River and came to Centerville, Louisiana, which at that time was a thriving village, or so I was told by my father who was a child of ten or older. My grandfather, William Henry Bassett, must have remained at Centerville quite a few years as two sons were born there, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Jefferson. From Centerville my grandfather moved to Vermilionville, Louisiana. (The Lafayette, Louisiana of today.) A daughter was born at Vermilionville named Eleanor Ann. She died at the age of 8. From Vermilionville, William Henry Bassett went to Washington, Louisiana, and a son was born there. He also died while still young. Eleanor O'Neill who married my grandfather (William Henry Bassett) in 1822 was the daughter of O'Neill (first name unknown to me) and Eleanor O'Brien, who were both from Antrim, Ireland. They were married in Ireland and came to the United States and settled in Baltimore, Maryland. Of this union there were two childen, a son named Bernard and my grandmother, Eleanor, who married William Henry Bassett. Bernard died without issue and was never married. He died while on an expedition to the West. Eleanor O'Neill Bassett died at Bayoudes Glaise in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, October 9, 1867. She is buried in the Catholic cemetery in Grand Coteau, Louisiana. My grandfather, William Henry Bassett married a second time, a Caroline Toon of Memphis, Tennessee. A son, Lewis Bassett, was born to them. He became a doctor and settled in Texas. (Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Jefferson Bassett also settled in Texas.) 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.

| 52612 | Written by Virginia Bassett Alleman, 1956 One best that I know and understand of the Bassetts of my father's immediate family is that they came directly from England to the colony of Virginia; they came sometime after the execution of Charles I (1649); they were Cavaliers. Colonel William Bassett of Virginia was a close relation to my great-grandfather Bassett. I have no reason to believe that he was a brother, but possibly a nephew or first cousin. My great-grandfather Bassett (first name unknown to me) was born in Charles City County, Virginia. My grandfather, William Henry Bassett, was also born in Charles City County, Virginia. He was born October 24, 1796. He became an orphan before the age of five; both his parents having died in an epidemic. At that tender age he was adopted and reared by the mother of William Henry Harrison, who later became president of the United States. This relative of my grandfather's (exact relation unknown) was Elizabeth Bassett, wife of Benjamin Harrison, signer of the Declaration of Independence. She was the daughter of Colonel William Bassett of "Eltham" in Virginia. Then still in his teens my grandfather, William Henry Bassett, went to sea. Not many years later, I was told, he owned a coastwise ship that plied between Norfolk, Virginia and New York City. On January 22, 1822 he married Eleanor O'Neill of Baltimore, Maryland. Some family papers state that they were married in Washington, D.C.; other papers say Alexandria, D.C. At any rate, their first child (my father Joseph Carter Bassett) was born in Washington, D.C. on December 31, 1822. Their second child, William Henry Jr. came into this world in New York City. In the early 1830's my grandfather with his family and in his own ship came to Louisiana. He visited New Orleans; he also visited the coast of Cuba and Central America, then came up the Atchafalaya River to a small fishing village, now called Morton City, Louisiana. From there, he proceeded up the Teche River and came to Centerville, Louisiana, which at that time was a thriving village, or so I was told by my father who was a child of ten or older. My grandfather, William Henry Bassett, must have remained at Centerville quite a few years as two sons were born there, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Jefferson. From Centerville my grandfather moved to Vermilionville, Louisiana. (The Lafayette, Louisiana of today.) A daughter was born at Vermilionville named Eleanor Ann. She died at the age of 8. From Vermilionville, William Henry Bassett went to Washington, Louisiana, and a son was born there. He also died while still young. Eleanor O'Neill who married my grandfather (William Henry Bassett) in 1822 was the daughter of O'Neill (first name unknown to me) and Eleanor O'Brien, who were both from Antrim, Ireland. They were married in Ireland and came to the United States and settled in Baltimore, Maryland. Of this union there were two childen, a son named Bernard and my grandmother, Eleanor, who married William Henry Bassett. Bernard died without issue and was never married.

| 52636 | Yates County, Newspaper, 1930 WM. Basset Early Rushville Settler Helped Found Congregational Church The family names and stories' connected with the early history of Rushville are of interest to all her sons and daughters, yet how few of the former are now listed among her inhabitants, and how seldom do we find new information concerning any of them. The names of Mower, Sawyer, Morse, and Reed have gone entirely from this community; the names of Loomis, Blair, Holton, Green, Whitman and Pratt are still heard, although not always descended from the early settlers of those names; and the names Gilbert and Bassett are perpetuated only as names of two of Rushville?s streets, yet by families of these names, with a few others, were the first homes made in the wilderness. Among these earliest settlers was William Bassett, one of the founders of Rushville Congregational church, and the first school teacher in what is now Potter. Although four of his sons and six of his daughters grew to manhood and womanhood in this village, the only descendant now residing in this section is Mrs. Frank Becker of Vine Valley; and her brother, Oscar Bassett of Rochester, is the only one of the name near here. The name of William Bassett is one of those most often mentioned in the early records of village history; and the following obituary printed in 1862 on his death has recently been found in an old scrapbook: An Octogenarian Gone Died at Rushville, February 11, 1862, William Bassett, Esq., in his 90th year. He was a native of Martha?s Vineyard, Mass., and was four years old when independence was declared. His father was an officer in the war of the Revolution in which he made great sacrifices and suffered much. He was in the Battle of Saratoga and the taking of Burgoyne. In the winter of 1780 [sic 1778] which was the coldest ever known in this country, he was engaged in the service on an armed vessel which was overtaken with a snowstorm with such extreme cold that the vessel became wholly unmanageable from the large accumulations of ice upon her deck?s and in her rigging, and though near the shore so that her alarm guns were heard on the land, no help could reach them, and after suffering beyond the powers of language to describe for some days, 74 of the sufferers froze to death among whom was the father of the deceased. His body was obtained and found a resting place among the graves of the Pilgrims of the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock, from whom he was a lineal descendant. At the age of 16 the deceased (William Bassett) accompanied an uncle to Westmoreland, a few miles west of the city of Utica, through which he passed when there were but two small houses where the city now stands. Here in the wilderness he attended the first religious meeting ever held in the country, and which he always remembered with interest. In 1793, then being 21 years old; he left Westmoreland for a settlement; near Rushville, then the town of Augusta. Being guided by trails and Indian paths, he missed his way at Seneca Falls and reached Palmyra before he discovered his mistake. On reaching the place of his destination, he found but one white family in the present limits of the village, with a goodly number of Indian wigwams, which were more or less occupied by the natives of the forest. At that early day he selected and purchased a most beautiful tract of (figures blurred) acres of land on which a part of the village of Rushville now stands, which he occupied and with his own hands made into one of the most desirable and valuable farms in the county, which he continued to own and to occupy till his death, a term of over 65 years. He lived to see a beautiful village with its churches and schools spring up where he had seen only the wild Indian and the wild animals and the poisonous reptiles of the forest. In bringing about this great change, he contributed a most important share. Here he became the father of 12 children, 10 of whom lived to mature age; one of the latter is now the worthy county clerk. He is still remembered by some of the oldest inhabitants as the first school teacher to whom they are indebted for their first rudimental instruction. In all the enterprises for the development of the county, in business, religion and education, he always took his full share of responsibility and sacrifice. He held many offices of trust, both military and civil, in which he made himself very useful, and especially as a peacemaker. Esquire Bassett made a profession of religion in early life and united with the Congregational church whose polity he cherished with especial regard to the end of his pilgrimage. He was always earnest, sincere and active in all his religious duties, believing that Christianity could never make compromises with sin. He embraced all reforms that promised to improve the condition of men and to make them better. Slavery and intemperance never found favor with him. With a vigorous constitution, and being temperate and regular in all his habits and thus obeying the laws of his being, he was enabled to reach a good old age, and at last yielded up life as the candle goeth out without a struggle. Having lived the life of the righteous, he died the death of the righteous and has gone to his reward. His memory will long be cherished with tender affection by the bereaved family, by the church, and by a large circle of friends and citizens. ?

WILLIAM BASSETT (AMERICA'S FIRST RUSHVILLE) By Robert Elbridge Moody (1991) Early in 1793 another settler arrived to take up land within the limits of the present Village of Rushville. This was William Bassett, whose farm was located from Main Street eastward on both sides of the present Bassett Street. Bassett, when he arrived in Federal Hollow, was only twenty- one and unmarried. His father had been a soldier of the Revolution and was present at Burgoyne's surrender. Later he enlisted in the Navy and in t winter of 1780 was shipwrecked off the Massachusetts coast. His body was recovered and buried in the burial ground of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, from some of whom he was descended. Thus at the age of eight, William Bassett was left without a father. He left home at an early age and for a time lived in Connecticut. Then at the age of sixteen he went with one of his uncl Westmoreland, Oneida County, New York. There he became acquainted wi number of men who later became pioneers in the Federal Hollow regio He never forgot his journey to Federal Hollow, for in Seneca Falls he took the wrong trail, and before he discovered his mistake, he was in Palmyra many miles from his intended destination. When at last he arrived in Federal Hollow, he found only the Gilberts and several Indian families living within the limits of the present Village of Rushville.
