Brookfield Courier, Wednesday, 9 Dec 1891
Peleg Hoxie Bassett

Among those out of town who were called to attend the funeral of Hoxie
Bassett Sunday were Albertus Lewis and sister, Mrs. Kate Lewis Walker, Fred
Utter, of Utica, and Wm. L. Bassett and famiyl, of Ilion.

Peleg Hoxie Bassett

It is seldom one is called to note the demise of one who has lived to
the advanced age of Peleg Hoxie Bassett, who was born in Providence, R.I.,
July 21, 1800. He died at his residence in Unadilla Forks, Friday evening,
Dec. 4, 1891, being nearly 92 years old. His wife, Cornelia Clark Bassett,
died about eight years ago, since which time his declining years were made
comfortable and happy by the attention of his children. His daughter, Miss
Lucy, has been his housekeeper and her devotion to him has been unceasing, no
father having better care than he. He has eight children: four sons and four
daughters, and 11 grandchildren. His sons are Geo. R., of Picuia, O., Wm. LO.,
of Ilion, Henry D., of Unadilla Forks, and John J., of Geneva, O. His
daughters are Mrs. Elizabeth Babcock and Miss Lucy A. Bassett, of Unadilla
Forks, Mrs. Harriet L. Craine, of Kendall, N.Y., and Miss Evaline S. Bassett,
of St. Louise, Mo. His funeral was largely attended at the Baptist Church, of
which he was a member. He was a Free Mason and about fifty members of t
order attended the funeral and participated in the services at the burial in
Unadilla Forks cemetery. The large number who followed the remains to t
grave, showed the high esteem they held for their friend, “Uncle Hoxie
Bassett.” Rev. W.C. Byer officiated at the funeral.
For the high esteem held for the deceased we add the following:
IN MEMORIUAM
“There is a reaper whose name is death,
And with his sickle keen
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
And the flowers that grow between.”

These words from the beautiful poem of the “Reaper and the Flowers,”
by Longfellow, came to my mind as I was casting a retrospective glance over
the past calling to mind those how had been ... majority were ripe for the
harvest and many are the home that are saddened by the going out of those that
have been the connecting links of the past generation to the present. An
occasional flower has been severed leaving homes desolate. But the Lord gave
and the Lord hath taken away. Doubtless many would deem it a privilege to add
some words of love and esteem they bore “Uncle Hoxie Bassett.” Like a noble
ship at sea, staunch and firm, he braved the storms of the life of nearly four
score and twelve years, and when nearing the haven of rest some of those who
had been guided by his love and gentle influence through life were permitted
to tenderly pronounce the word “Father,” as he passed to his inheritanc
“Peacefully, quietly, retaining his mental faculties to the last,” he sank to
rest in that long sleep that knows no earthly waking. Though the frosts of
many winters had long since changed his once raven locks to snowy whiteness,
and time had traced his devious etchings on his brow and cheek, yet he still
retained much of the freshness and vivacity of youth. That rare and valued
charm was his that gave most ready, sympathetic thought to all the many phases
of our social life. For childhoods’ grief his parent heart would find the balm
that changed the sorrow into rapturous joy. Merry-hearted youth enraptured
with the promise of the golden time were fain to pause, though in their
wildest quest, to catch his winsome ways, his cheery words and sunny smiles.
Even those whose hair was silvered too have felt the thrill of Uncle Hoxie’s
hopeful words and kindly ways. A counselor, careful and discreet – a friend
ever warm and generous, genial and joyful. “Often tried in the crucible of
sorrow, yet refined by suffering; burdened with cares and grave
responsibilities that are want to fall to the lot of father, still he
discharged them all with such gentle firmness and loving tenderness that his
children, with one accord, “rise up and call him blessed.” This simple wreath,
imperfect though it be, would one who long has known him well, drop on the
bier of Peleg Hoxie Bassett, born July 21st, 1800, died Dec. 4th, 1891. L.S.
