Mrs. S.C. Bassett Dies At Age Of 79
Etterville, December 13 - Mrs. S.C. Bassett died at her home in Etterville at 7:30 p.m. on December 9, 1927, at the age of 79 years, 10 months, and 14 days, following a light stroke of paralysis on November 28, from which she never recovered.
She was born in Toledo, Ohio, January 26, 1848, and on May 7, 1863, was united in marriage to Stephen M. Bassett at Elkhart, Indiana, and to this union eight children were born, namely: William S., of Northport, Nebraska; Allen P., of Etterville; James S., of Sioux City, Iowa; Mrs. Sylvia Haxton, of Laplata; Thaddeus B., of Sumatra, Montana; Frank R., of Skidmore; and Mrs. Iva Brown, of Pueblo, Colorado. A son, Edward S., died in the year of 1914. She is also survived by 26 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Early in life she united with the Methodist Church and the remainder of her life she lived a conscientious Christian.
Mrs. Bassett made her home in Miller County, in and near Etterville, for more than twenty years, and it will be remembered that she, at the death of her son, Edward S. and his wife in 1914, took the three small children they left into her home and assumed the responsibility of father and mother, as well as grandmother to them. For this faithful service she will receive her reward in that better world into which she has just passed.
Funeral services were conducted at Etterville Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock by Rev. Bower, pastor of the Methodist Church at Eldon, and burial was made in the Spring Garden Cemetery.
