Obituary, Mrs. Mary Taylor Bassett
Mrs. Mary Taylor Bassett died at her home on Church street, Wednesday, p.m., aged 90 years. She was born in Hartwick, N.Y., August 5th, 1829, the daughter of Chandler and Palmyra (Peters) Taylor.
In 1855 she married the Rev. Edward B. Bassett and with him shared the toil and hardships of service in Congregational Home Missionary churches in New England, until 1881, when they came to Cooperstown and bought the Hollister house on Church street, where Mr. Bassett died the following year.
Mrs. Bassett was a very loyal Christian and always ready to stand for the right as she was the right, with all the fortitude of her puritan ancestry. She is survived by one daughter, Miss Ella Bassett.
The funeral will be held Wednesday from the home, with her four grand nephews acting as pall bearers. It is requested that no flowers be sent. The service will be conducted by their pastor, the Rev. E.S. Petrie and Dr. J.G. Traver of Hartwick Seminary with interment at Lakewood cemetery.

Obituary, Miss Ella Mary Bassett
Miss Ella Mary Bassett, highly esteemed resident of this village for many years, died Tuesday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock in the Barber Convalescent home at Fly Creek, where she had been a patient exactly one year.
A native of Connecticut, she was born November 19, 1855. Her parents were the Rev. Edward B. Bassett and Mary (Taylor) Bassett. Her father, a Congregational pastor, carried on his ministry in parishes in Connecticut and Central New York until coming to Cooperstown on his retirement. The family home had been at No. 21 Church street for many years, and after the death of both parents, Miss Bassett was accustomed to spend her winters in Florida until her own health became impaired about three years ago.
Nearest survivors are cousins, including, Edward Shove, Milford Center; Clarence Bunn, South Hartwick; Mrs. W. Stone, Whitesboro; Miss Grace Swift, Brooklyn; Herbert Greetn, Utica; and John Beach, Canajoharie.
Miss Bassett was popular with the young people of the community and particularly for those of the Church street neighborhood where her home was a favorite rendezvous. She taught a class in the Presbyterian church school for several years, and at her retirement the Ella M. Bassett prize fund was established there honoring her service by her late friend, Mrs. Charlotte Prentiss Browning.
Funeral services will be held from the First Presbyterian church, of which she was a member, Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Her pastor, the Rev. Arthur W. Mielke, will officiate.
Interment will be in the family plot in Lakewood cemetery.
