Bassett of Cooperstown, 79 yrs. Doc. for 56 yrs. SFP 2-14-190 p3.c.1 Christ Church, Cooperstown, New York 1810-1960, A Parish Histo by George E. DeMille, Canon of Albany, 1960 p. 35. "For years, Dr. Wilson T. Bassett was both a warden of Christ Church, and a practising physician. And so, in a day when women physicians were a rarity, was his wife. Their daughter, Mary Imogene Bassett, became a physician likewise, and a very good one indeed. Realizing the difficulties under which the country physician labored - his lack of facilities for testing and research, she acquainted Mr. Edward Severin Clark with the need for a well equipped hospital in Cooperstown. He had already, in 1909, built the Otsego Hotel, not as a commercial speculation, but as means of developing Cooperstown as a summer resort of a superior class. Through his generosity, the hospital was opened for the use of the physicians in this area. In 1917, World War I being then at its height, it was offered to the government as a convalescent hospital for army aviation officers. Opened to the public in 1922, the sudden death of Dr. Mary Imogene Bassett, who had served as chief of staff, gave it a temporary setback. In 1927 it was reopened, and gradually developed into something very different from the average small town hospital. It became a research and teaching center, affiliated with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, with clinics renowned over a wide area. It is today a model institution attracting patients from all over the United States. It has brought into Cooperstown a steady flow of highly skilled professional men, some transients, some remaining who have leavened the life of community and parish". Biographical Review, Otsego County, New York (189 Wilson T. Bassett, M.D., a prominent physician of Cooperstown, N.Y., was born at New Lisbon, Otsego Co., N.Y., February 2, 1821. His father, Benjamin Bassett, was born in Yorkshire, England, and resided there unt 1815, when with his wife and two infant sons, he sailed for the United States. The voyage was made in a sailing vessel, steamships not having then begun to cross the sea. The voyage was a very stormy one and occupied three months and two days. When within a few days' sail of New York a terrible storm came upon them and nearly wrecked their vessel, and for six weeks afterward they were tossed about upon the ruthless ocean, during which time they were put upon a short allowance of food, and lost what property they had on board, before it was possible for them to land. They at length landed in New York. They were of an honest, industrious and intelligent class of English people, and were unaccustomed to such rough ways as they found in this new country and to the hardships that awaited them here; they were disappointed, too, in not receiving the assistance which they thought they had a right to expect from friends already here, and for these reasons their struggle for existence was a very hard one. Mr. Bassett was compelled to rely entirely upon his own resources. He was a veterinary surgeon, and would doubtless have succeeded well, but a few years after landing in this country, he became blind fr sickness brought on by exposure, and died in 1824, leaving the burden of the care and support of the family solely in the hands of his widow. She was a woman of superior intelligence and executive ability, and managed her affairs so successfully that she became in time well situated in life, and lived to the advanced age of seventy-eight years, dying in Otsego County. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Hewitt. She reared one son, Samuel F. Jones, by a former marriage. By her second husband, Benjamin Bassett, she had three sons, viz.: John, a farmer residing at Garrattsville, Otsego County; William, a retired physician, who practiced many years at Binghamton, N.Y.; and Wilson T., the subject of this sketch, the only one born in the United State Wilson T. Bassett in inherited a sound constitution, and was naturally of a studious disposition. His early habits were carefully watched and formed by his mother, who had a very comprehensive and accurate understanding of the meaning of the word discipline. His early educational advantages were somewhat limited, consisting of only four months school in the year from the time he was eight until he was sixteen years old, but he made the most of the opportunities he did have, as is evident from the fact that when he w little past sixteen years old he taught a term of school, continuing to teach four successive winters. The intervening summers he spent in study, part of the time under the private instruction of Rev. Joh Hughes, a fine scholar, and a portion of the time in the Clinton Classical Institute, then one of the best academies in the State. In his youthful days books and newspapers were comparatively scarce, and having a strong desire to acquire knowledge, he read everything that came to his hand. One of these books was "Combe's Constitution of Man," which he studied with great care, and which may have been the means of turning his attention to the study of medicine. He also acquired a good English education and a fair knowledge of mathematics and Latin, at the same time mixing in a good deal of anatomy and physiology on his own account. When nineteen years old he began the study of medicine regularly in the office of Dr. G.W.P. Wheeler, of Garrattsville, and at the age of twenty-one took his course of lectures at the Albany Medical College, paying his expenses with money he had saved from his earnings. He continued in attendance at this college for the two succeeding winters, and graduated from the institution in 1844. Almost immediately after graduating he began practice in Mount Vision, Otsego County, but as for the first three or four years he had but litt practice, he had ample time for further study, which he faithfully improved. When thirty years of age Dr. Bassett had acquired a large practice, but as there was no practitioner in that locality who could be relied upon in severe and complicated cases, he realized the necessity of a more thorough knowledge of his profession. Accordingly, in the fall of 1858 he left h practice and his family and spent five months in New York City, attendi lectures, hospitals, and the clinics of such physicians and surgeons as Carnochan, Wood, Peaslee and Barker, and worked from four to six hours daily in the dissecting room during the entire five months. Upon returning to the field of his labors he entered upon a much larger practice than before, and performed some surgery and held much consultation. He thus continued hard at work until the fall of 1863, when he returned to New York City, and during the fall of that year and the succeeding winter he attended the hospitals a lectures, and took a special course in surgery with Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, working in the dissecting room as before. Returning home in the spring, he continued his practice through the summer, and in the fall of 1864 went into the office of Dr. March, assisting him in this operations, and being under his private instruction altogether for six months, attending lectures on anatomy and also working in the dissecting room. He subsequently had a very lar increase in his surgical and consultation work. I the fall of 1868 and the following winter he attended lectures at Harvard Medical College, and took a special course on the eye with Professor Williams, and also attended the surgical lectures of Professors Bigelow and Cheever. From this brief outline of Dr. Bassett's history it will appear that his opportunities for becoming a thoroughly learned and skillful physician and surgeon were of the best, and that his determination to be well qualified was of the strongest. These facts being generally recognized, it is not remarkable that his practice should be very large and that he should be brought in contact with more critical cases than usually fall the lot of the physician outside of the largest cities. He has been called in consultation at times to distances of fifty miles from home, and frequently to lesser distances. He has performed numerous difficult surgical operations, as in hernia, in amputation at the shoulder and hip joint, and in lithotomy. During the Civil War Dr. Bassett manifested his patriotism by treating all returning soldiers, and the families of these soldiers while they were absent in the field, free of charge, and these services were very widely and very gratefully accepted. In the spring of 1869 he removed to Cooperstown, that place being more central and affording him a wider field for practice. Since living there his practice has been very large, and has embraced many difficult cases of surgery. He has had the medical charge of the Orphan Asylum at Cooperstown, for which he has made no charge. Dr. Bassett is a member of the Otsego County Medical Society, and is also a prominent member of the State Medical Society. He has been on the witness stand a great many times as expert in murder trials when insanity has been set up as a defense. In such cases he has invariably been the despair of the lawyers in cross examinations. He is one of the most affable of men, and this fact has frequently led lawyers into the mistake of thinking they could browbeat or confuse him, but the result has always been that the lawyers themselves have been confused. The Doctor is the most accomplished witness that has ever been placed on the stand in Otsego County. He has no political aspirations, but he has served as County Coroner and has represented the town on the County Board of Supervisors, with much credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of all concerne April 12, 1845, Dr. Bassett married Mary Augusta Ostrander, a daughter of William and Harriet Ostrander, of whom a sketch appears elsewhere in this volume. Dr. Bassett has four children living, viz: Liston B., engaged in business in Norwich, N.Y.; Emma, wife of Melville Keyes, an attorney at Oneonta; Hortense, who is an invalid, and M. Imogene, a graduate of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, which she attended four years. She then took a post graduate course at the Polyclinic College of Philadelphia, and was for a time instructor in nervous diseases in that institution. She was also assistant to Dr. Charles K. Mills. Since the death of her mother she has returned to her home and now has quite an extensi practice, quickly taking up the practice her mother had acquire It gives great pleasure to the publishers of this work to be able to present in this volume a portrait of Dr. Bassett, who for so many years had been one of the most prominent and successful of the physicians of Otse County. | Bassett, Dr. Wilson T.

| 5985 | 1850 Federal Census of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts (28 Aug 1850) Isaac Bassett 53 M Massachusetts Painter 2500 Lydia 42 F Massachusetts Ann M. 19 F Massachusetts Alfred 16 M Massachusetts Charlotte 13 F Massachusetts Walton 7 M Massachusetts THE LATE ISAAC BASSETT Who Died in this City December 14, aged nearly 96 14 Dec 1892 One of the Few Remaining Links between the past and present, passes away - A son of a Revolutionary Hero and one of the First Settlers of Lee - He was one of the Early Abolitionists. On Wednesday evening, December 14, passed away to his final reward, one of Berkshire's oldest citizens, Isaac Bassett, a native of Berkshire, who had spent all his long life within our borders. While in delicate health for some time, his last illness was short, being but a day and he passed away with scarcely a struggle. For a few years he had resided in this city with his son, Mr. Alfred Bassett, where he found a peaceful and quiet home in his declining years. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon in Lee, where his remains were laid to rest by the side of his wife and other kindred in that, the town of his birth, and where he spent many years of his long and useful life. It is fitting that a suitable sketch be given of one who is among the last of the lineal descendants of the Revolutionary fathers, and binding the present with the past. Mr. Bassett was 95 years and 11 months - a long life, indeed, as compared with most of mankind. He had passed it here in Berkshire, in a quiet way, but the influence of it will be felt for years to come. He was a lineal descendant of William Bassett, one of the early settlers who came over in 1621. The father of the deceased was Nathaniel Bassett, who enlisted in the war of the revolution at the age of 17. He was stationed at West Point, and when the "Vulture" sailed up the Hudson, with Major Andre on board, Nathaniel was one of those who drew the cannon to the river and compelled the vessel to retreat. It was in this way that Andre was captured and Arnold's diabolical plot thwarted. Nathaniel settled in Lenoxdale after the war, when there were only a few log houses in Lee. He is remembered by many now living. He was sexton of the Lee Congregational church and for many years rang the bell at noon and 9 o'clock in the evening, in the days when that custom prevailed. He died in 1846, at the age of 88; for 54 years he was an honored member of the Congregational church. In exploring the country for a location, his path was by marked trees from Stockbridge to Becket. The elder Bassett returned to Sandwich, after he had decided on his location, and married Miss Bethiah Smith, who returned to Lee with him on horseback. They settled at what is now Lenoxdale, the year the furnace was built, and the property is now owned by Mr. Thompso From this good old New England stock the subject of this sketch, Isaac, was descendant; and he inherited many of the noble traits which were characteristic of the family. The deceased was beloved by all who knew him, as his parents before him had been. His father, after a few years removed to Lee and settled on the farm now occupied by the youngest daughter, Mrs. Charles Hinckley. The deceased, after his father's death, came into possession of the farm and lived upon it some 40 years, when he sold it to his sister's husband, Mr. Hinckley. He removed to Stockbridge, where he resided until some eight years ago, when on the death of his wife he came to this city to make his home with his son, at whose house he died. The Lee property is right opposite the church and park, and has been in the family since it was settle Eight children were born to his parents and some years ago a family reunion of the then six remaining children was held with Mrs. Whiton, in Troy, a daughter. There were, besides Mrs. Whiton, Mrs. Fuller, the mother of James W. Fuller of this city, Mrs. Tobey of New Bedford; Isaac, then of Stockbridge, and the subject of this sketch; Joseph Bassett of Lee, father of Mr. J. Bassett of that town, and also Mrs. Hinckley. The latter a highly respected old lady, yet resides in Lee and is the last member of the family, and the remaining link between the past and the present; joining us by lineal descent with the first settlers of Lee and that section. Isaac married a daughter of the late Dea. Ashael Foot of Williamstown, who died in 1884. She was a woman who was a helpmeet indeed and was a most estimable lady. He is survived by four children, Mrs. Hubbard, who resides in Colorado; Walton of Burlington, Vt., and for many years crippled; Mrs. Sexton of Illinois, who was with her father at the time of his death, and Alfred, at whose house he died in this city. Mr. Bassett was for many years a member of the Congregational church and was a man of the highest integrity and exemplary life. Like his father, it was said of him that he left not an enemy behind him. He was one of the early abolitionists, and believed it, because he thought it was right; he lived to see his ideas carried into effect and slavery abolished. He was a prohibitionist, because he believed it was a matter of principle. So, h ended a long life full of years; a good citizen, a man in the ordinary walks of life has gone hence to join his friends "in that land where partings never come." | Bassett, Isaac (I02871)

Bassett Drops Dead Monday While planning some boards in a shop at the rear of his home on East Fourth street about 6:30 o'clock on Monday evening, Robert L. Bassett, a well known employee of the Irving Drew Co., dropped dead. His brother, Tom, who, at the time was standing in the door, watching Robert at his work, thought that he had just fainted and could be restored in a short time. He hastened for water, but that being useless, called Doctor Gault. When the doctor arrived the man had expired. He pronounced the death due to heart failure. As the evening was warm and Bassett had been working steadily since his return from the Irving Drew factory on some steps of a neighbor's which he was repairing, Thomas Bassett thought that he had merely suffered a fainting spell. When the knowledge of Robert's death reached the rest of Bassett family, they were terribly shocked. The realization that Robert had died was almost too much for them. Thomas, who saw his brother fall, and who immediately rushed to his side, says of the accident: "I was watching my brother when he suddenly appeared to be dizzy, and almost before I knew it, he had staggered and fallen." The circumstances are extraordinarily touching when the age of the stricken man is taken into consideration. He was but a few days past 23, and seemingly had many years of usefulness ahead of him. In the local chapter of the order of Ben Hur, he had attained the highest position. At the time of his death he was past chief of the organization. In his position at the Irving Drew factory he was one of that company's most valuable men. That he would have been promoted is an assured fact, when officials of the Irving Drew factory speak of him in terms which show the respect and appreciation which they hold for Bassett. That he was a conscientious and thoughtful man is readily seen in the fact that a few minutes before his death he was repairing the steps on a neighbor's house. A young man of firm character and friendly disposition, he will be mourned by a host of friends and acquaintances. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Bassett, of East Fourth street. His father is a prominent employe of the Wait-Fuller Cabinet Co. Besides his parents he leaves five brothers, Floyd. Lewis, Daniel, Thomas and Alex Bassett, who reside in Steubenville, O., and four sisters, Mrs. Netti Lurty of Cincinnati, Mrs. Lulu Schopp, Youngstown, and Jessie Bassett, at home. Robert Bassett was also, besides a member of local prominence in the lodge of Ben Hur, a prominent member of the local order of Red Men. | Bassett, John T. (I670)

I never saw her. She had four children, three of whom drowned at the same time in the little stream of Montgomery, while quite young. Alexander, the 4th, lived to manhood, was married and bought part of this Father's place where he lived until about 1886. His wife died before him. She was Leah Meredith, a sister of his father's second wife. He left one son and two daughters. He was about six years my senior, was about 6 ft tall, well built, and of fine appearance. Was a most excellent man but wanting in energy. Although he inherited considerable property from his grandfather Waring's estate, and from an Uncle Waring, and from his father's estate, he failed in his financial career and had to borrow money from time to time from his cousin Joseph Waring, the step-son of his Uncle Amos. This indebtedness was more than his farm was worth which passed into the hands of Joseph Waring upon Alexander's death, but Joseph was very kind to him so long as he lived and would not foreclose his mortgage until after his death. Cousin Alexander was a schoolmate of mine. He would visit my father's family, often staying over night. He would smoke a cob pipe and the boy, my brothers and I, would take great pleasure in filling it with tobacco for him to smoke, putting in a little powder at the bottom, to explode it while smoking. It was great fun for us and he never appeared the least vexed over it. I loved him almost as a brother, better than I loved any other cousin. He and his father under the old days of the 40's were Democrats - the only Democrats in the family. All the rest being Whigs, but they, were staunch Union Men and were most loyal during the Civil War and Alexander became a Republican then and remained so till his death. Peace to his bones. My Uncle John remarried a widower for quite a number of years, but was married in 1833 to Elizabeth Meredith by her he had four children, John, Susan, Mary and Sarah. They were all of an indolent turn of character. The girls married trifling worthless men and I know nothing about where they are. John was a wild fellow. The last I heard of him, he was in the South. My uncle John was a fleshy man, about 5 ft 11 inches in height, well framed, and of a florid or ruddy complexion. He was of a rather blustering manner, but of an excellent heart and kindly dispostion. Mentally he was strong and was quite a conversationalist. He liked to talk on the political questions and we have had many a lively bout, but he was always a great friend of mine and of my brothers. He was a Methodist and was honest, truthful and upright. This second wife died in 1844 and he died about 1867. | Meredith, Leah (I169)

[added in pencil: "nothing important now nor any disgrace".] He subsequently married a widow woman whose maiden name was Walinsgsford. A family who lived in Fleming Co, Kentucky and was in good circumstances. She first married a man named Waring, a very respectable family of Greenup Co. Kentucky. Her husband died leaving her with two children, Joseph and Frances. My Uncle married her and settled in the Valley of Montgomery Creek, two miles from my Father's place. His farm was in the little creek bottoms about 30 or 40 rods wide and extended along the creek over half a mile. Amos Bassett had five children, Elizabeth, John, Harriet, Sophia and Martha. Elizabeth and John died in the summer of 1833 when they were just budding into womanhood and manhood. Harriet was married in 1847 to George W. Johnson and is still living on the headwater of the little Montgomery Creek. She had six children but I do not know anything about them. Sophia and Martha were both married and have since died, but I do not remember who they married nor what children they left. These girls of my Uncle, with his stepchildren were among my playmates and schoolmates and my visits to my uncle Amos were always very pleasant. Uncle Amos was a small man or rather medium. He was thin or medium in flesh about 5 ft. 8 in. height and weighed (about) 140 - 145 lbs. He was well proportioned, erect and elastic in his step. His education, as with all of the family, only limited: Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. He was a man of unexceptional character. He had no enemies, yet he was firm in character. He was industrious, strictly temperate, quiet in his manners, and upright in all of his dealings. He lived to an advanced age - upwards of 86 and died about 1868, but the exact year I do not know. In religion he was Methodist, in politics, a Whig, in the war, a staunch Unionist. | Bassett, Sophia Ann (I160)

Bassett - 25 - F - Illinois Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett In 1845 while I was attending the store for my brother I became acquainted with Scienda Isle Moore and soon fell in love with her. I was so young that I felt that I ought not think of getting married and as she was about six months older than I was and had quite a number of suitors I tried to restrain my love and remain in the back ground and see if she would accept some other beau. I knew in the fall that she had refused the offer of one very enthusiastic lover, but I had not declared my love for her. We had been together considerably and I felt that she, at least, respected me and was quite friendly. I was taken sick, October 1845 and returned to my Father's. I concluded that as I was the youngest son except the little half-brother I ought to stay with my Father. I tried for four months to forget my loved one or to break off my affection for her, but I could not. She was in my thought and not only every day, almost every hour of the day and in the spring of 1846 I determined I would go and see her for during this time I had not seen her at all. I then continued to go see her not and then, but in June following I thou't she gave me a slight and I broke off and did not go to see her for three months, altho' during that time I frequently met her at some gatherings, but I suffered secretly on account of the fancied slight and I found my love for her was intense and like Banquo's ghost would not down at the bidding. I finally wrote her a long letter in which I avowed my love to her for the first time and asked her why I was slighted. I met her accidentally the next day that she got this letter, before she had answered it and she declared that she had not slighted me and that my company had always been acceptable to her. This caused me to renew my visits to her and we were married the 4th of March following. When I was married my sisters Sabrina and Frances were keeping house for Brother L.A. and I in a house adjoining our store building, so I brought my wife to our home and we remained there until December 1847 when a great rise in the Ohio R. carried our dwelling house away. We moved into rooms of L.S. Moore's house near by and there my son Fletcher Stewart was born on the 20th December. I had to move again in the spring into a house in Samuel Hill's place nearby and remained there a year or more until I built a house in the village of Quincy which Samuel Hill had laid out and where we moved in 1849. I had not thought until that suggestion was made of moving my family, but I was encouraged to bring my wife out, [to Denver, Colorado] in the hope it would benefit her health and I finally concluded to do so. I took two teams and went to St Josephs where the two families met me and from there went to Denver where we arrived early in September. I found the business was wrecked the firm was really insolvent. I proceeded to close up the business. I was in a very embarrassing position. I had my wife and five children - the wife sick and no money. I was greatly depressed but proceeded back bravely to meet the crisis. My wife died in January 1861 and left me with the five children. I was indeed desolate and would not have cared to live if it had not been for my children. When my wife died in 1861, I had her buried in a cemetery East of Denver and as marble or stone monuments could not then be procured I procured a wooden one painted and lettered to mark her grave, hoping that when railroads got to Denver I could have the remains moved to Aledo, but the monuments were destroyed so that the grave could not be identified. I regretted this as I thought it would have been a comfort to her children as well as myself to have her ashes in the family cemetery. I was, also unfortunate in losing the identity of Clayton's grave. He was buried at Sugar Grove, and I had a tomb stone and materials to enclose his grave and a man paid to put them up which he was to do after I went to Denver, but he neglected it and when I returned I could not identify his grave. I have the names of my wife and Clayton Webster both on the monument in Aledo Cemetery. | Moore, Scienda (I214)

I never saw her. She had four children, three of whom drowned at the same time in the little stream of Montgomery, while quite young. Alexander, the 4th, lived to manhood, was married and bought part of this Father's place where he lived until about 1886. His wife died before him. She was Leah Meredith, a sister of his father's second wife. He left one son and two daughters. He was about six years my senior, was about 6 ft tall, well built, and of fine appearance. Was a most excellent man but wanting in energy. Although he inherited considerable property from his grandfather Waring's estate, and from an Uncle Waring, and from his father's estate, he failed in his financial career and had to borrow money from time to time from his cousin Joseph Waring, the step-son of his Uncle Amos. This indebtedness was more than his farm was worth which passed into the hands of Joseph Waring upon Alexander's death, but Joseph was very kind to him so long as he lived and would not foreclose his mortgage until after his death. Cousin Alexander was a schoolmate of mine. He would visit my father's family, often staying over night. He would smoke a cob pipe and the boy, my brothers and I, would take great pleasure in filling it with tobacco for him to smoke, putting in a little powder at the bottom, to explode it while smoking. It was great fun for us and he never appeared the least vexed over it. I loved him almost as a brother, better than I loved any other cousin. He and his father under the old days of the 40's were Democrats - the only Democrats in the family. All the rest being Whigs, but they, were staunch Union Men and were most loyal during the Civil War and Alexander became a Republican then and remained so till his death. Peace to his bones. My Uncle John remarried a widower for quite a number of years, but was married in 1833 to Elizabeth Meredith by her he had four children, John, Susan, Mary and Sarah. They were all of an indolent turn of character. The girls married trifling worthless men and I know nothing about where they are. John was a wild fellow. The last I heard of him, he was in the South. My uncle John was a fleshy man, about 5 ft 11 inches in height, well framed, and of a florid or ruddy complexion. He was of a rather blustering manner, but of an excellent heart and kindly dispostion. Mentally he was strong and was quite a conversationalist. He liked to talk on the political questions and we have had many a lively bout, but he was always a great friend of mine and of my brothers. He was a Methodist and was honest, truthful and upright. This second wife died in 1844 and he died about 1867. | Bassett, John R. (I170)
