| 36157 | New Encyclopedia of Texas (Page 1991) J. M. BASS, pioneer in the mercantile business in Texas, came to Cuero several years ago, and has since been engaged in merchandising here. Mr. Bass is a member of the firm of Bass Brothers Company, a firm dating back to the earliest days of Cuero's history, when the business was established in 1873, by John Graves. The building now occupied by the firm, carrying the date of 1873, has been continuously occupied since that time, although the business has grown and prospered, and various changes have been made in the original building. In the years during which he operated the business Mr. Graves established traditions of achievement, and a tradition of giving one hundred cents worth of merchandise for1 every dollar spent. When Mr. Bass bought the store, in partnership with his brother, J. L. Bass, this tradition, as well as the store, was transferred to the new owners, and how successfully they have lived up to this tradition is best judged by the continued growth and prosperity of the business. Bass Brothers Company established a dry goods store at Yoakum in 1913, which they have continued to operate, R. L. Bass being in active charge of the store there. In 1919 they bought the business of J. A. Graves & Sons, and J, M. Bass, the subject of this sketch, has since been manager of this Cuero store. A complete line of dry goods, clothing, shoes, hats, ladies' ready-to-wear, millinery, rugs, carpets, and like merchandise is carried, and a large retail business is done annually. A force of sixteen employees, with an additional force employed for rush seasons, are in the store, and the best merchandise, with the newest styles and lowest prices, are featured by the firm. J. M. Bass was born in Georgia, in 1871, son of a merchant of that state. He attended the public schools and in 1887 came to Texas with his brother. He went with the Perkins Dry Goods Company, and for twenty-one years was with that company, in various Texas towns, and for twelve years of the time was in charge of a store at Athens for this firm. In 1913 Mr. Bass, with his brother, opened the Yoakum store, six years later buying out the business of J. A, Graves & Sons, and has since continued to operate these stores. Mr. Bass was married at Dublin, Texas, in 1892, to Miss Pearl Hall, whose death occurred in 1922, Mrs. Bass was the daughter of Dr. J. W. Hall, Texas physician. One child, Miss Tennie Mae Bass, was born to the union. Mr. Bass makes Cuero his home and belongs to the Cuero Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club, the Retail Merchants Association, and is a Mason, Blue Lodge, Chapter at Cuero, Commandery at Yoakum, and is a member of the Shrine at San Antonio. He is active in civic work, and takes a deep pride in the accomplishments of Cuero as one of the fastest growing cities of this section. | Bass, John McMillan (I49004)

| 36159 | New Hampshire Sentinel, Keene, NH, Wednesday, April 22, 1891 Obituary William Bassett, an old and well known resident of Keene, died at his home on Marlboro' street about twelve o'clock Monday night at the age of 72 years. He had been sick for a number of weeks with a disease of the heart and other complications and his death occurred quite suddenly, from heart failure. During the afternoon he had appeared better than for some weeks before and about five o?clock walked out into the garden with his grandchild in whose company he took great satisfaction. Deceased was a native of Keene and had lived here during the greater part of his life. He was a son of Nathan Bassett, who was a famous carpenter and builder in old times. William learned the same trade, and carpentering and building has been his business until recently when he retired. He was one who thought much upon religious matters, and for many years was an attendant at the First church where both he and his father used to play the bass viol before the days of modern organs. During the later years of his life he was a very constant attendant at the Unitarian church and took much interest in that society. He was a kind and genial neighbor and a man who was always ready to lend a helping hand or speak a cheering word to those who were in trouble. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. William O. Hutchins, of this city. The funeral will take place at the home, Marlboro' street, Thursday, at eleven o'clock, Rev. C.B. Elder officiating. | Bassett, William (I08801)

| 36166 | New Haven Register, Connecticut May 6, 1994 Harry Bassett Bassett remembered as a businessman, friend Representatives of a wide variety of Valley area organizations recalled businessman Harry Bassett Thursday as a community leader with a personal touch, whether it be in advocating Junior Achievement or in keeping his product's price reasonable. Bassett died Tuesday at age 84. He was chairman of the board at the W.E. Bassett Company and founder, charter member of the Board of Directors of the Valley Chamber of Commerce, from whom he once received the group's Gold Seal Award. Ed Strang, a veteran Scout leader in the Valley and a childhood friend of Bassett's, recalled him as a star basketball player at Derby High School as well as a supporter of Scouting in the Valley. Strang said just last year Bassett pitched in with funding to help refurbish a shower house at the Strang Scout Reservation in Goshen, which served Scouts from the Valley area. "Harry was a nice guy to know, always willing to help," said Strang. "He had a very pleasing personality - the type that nobody would get mad at." Strang noted that Bassett was also an avid supporter of Junior Achievement in the area, helping to raise funds for the program for many years. That organization once named him Man of the Year. Romolo Tedeshi, the first president of the Valley Chamber of Commerce, said Bassett stood out from other businessmen in the personal approach he took with employees. "He was president of the W.E. Bassett Company, but he was always out there in the workplace talking with the people making these implements," Tedeshi said. "He knew almost everybody in the plant by name." The W.E. Bassett Company with plants in Shelton and Derby is the largest United States producer of metal nail clippers. The company was founded in 1937 in Derby. In 1947, the W.E. Bassett Company began producing the TRIM line of manicure implements and was the first company in the world to bubble-pack nail clippers so they could be sold in supermarkets and drug stores, opening the gates for added exposure and sales. In 1937, the Derby plant was bought by a New Hampshire company, but Bassett stayed on as president. Bassett was also a trustee for Griffin Hospital and at one time was chairman of the hospital's building and grounds committee, and Bill Powanda, vice president of support services at Griffin Hospital. "He was the quintessential industrialist, community leader and corporate citizen, concerned and commited to making life better for his employees and the community," Powanda said. Valley United Way Executive Director Jack Walsh said Bassett also gave much of his time to the United Way, serving as a corporator and "very active campaigner" for the agency's annual campaign. Bassett was a 1939 graduate of Derby High School and a graduate of the Pratt Institute School of Architecture in 1933. A memorial service is planned Sunday at the South Britain Congregational Church. Dictated by Henry (Harry) Bassett February 19, 1986 The W.E. Bassett Company Manicure Implements The W.E. Bassett Company is an excellent example of what can be accomplished in our country by imagination, dreams and ambition. My brother, William, age 25, was ambitious and he had a dream of going into business for himself where he could be his own boss and take the chance of succeeding or failing. He attempted this under the most wonderful system that has ever existed in this world; the Free Enterprise system that we have in the United States. Having started in a small wooden structure on Francis Street in Derby, Connecticut as a contract machine shop in 1939, he later progessed to rubber heel washers for the largest rubber heel manufacturer in the world, known as "Catspaw" Rubber Heels. During World War II the company manufactured various small munition parts as a sub-contractor. Shortly after the war, he took a step that developed into the present successful Manicure manufacturing business. He developed a fingernail clipper, the likes of which had never been known. The design and manufacturing methods were new, but most importantly, this clipper was of an exceptional quality, and as such the "TRIM" Nail Clipper captured a worldwide market. In 1952 the company moved into a new plant on Roosevelt Drive in Derby, Connecticut. During the next twenty years, there were five plant expansions totaling 40M square feet. In 1978 a new plant was built in Shelton, Connecticut, totaling 40M square feet. For many years we had one Manicure item, mainly a TRIM Fingernail Clipper. This one item has been added to many times so that today there are more than sixteen items and all are packaged in different ways and sold throughout the United States and many of the free countries of the world. My brother, William, had the ability to gather people around him that were capable and who loved to work. It was possible to build a quality TRIM Nail Clipper because the most modern methods were used and the most dedicated people worked at the Bassett Company. That Fingernail Clipper sold for 25 cents from the year 1947 to the year 1970. Although our methods improved constantly, inflation out-distanced our modern machinery so that today that Trim Fingernail Clipper sells for 80 cents. As mentioned before, the Trim Nail Clipper was the best nail clipper that was manufactured any place in the world, at a price that people could afford. Today we do have much competition, both domestic and foreign, however, it is safe to say that the TRIM Nail Clipper is the leader in its field. We have not sacrificed our quality. We know this because we receive many unsolicited letters praising our constant attention to the quality of our products. The second generation is now operating the company and many of our people in the plant are second generation. Henry W. Bassett, Chairman of the Board, started with the company in 1943. William C. Bassett, son of William E. Bassett, founder, is now President, having started work in 1968. David J. Bassett, the founder's youngest son, is the Manager of the Shelton, Connecticut plant. He started working for the company in 1973. John J. Kronen, our Controller and Vice President of Finance, started in 1965. V. Craig Finney, Sales Manager of Advertising Specialty and Special Markets, joined the company in 1978. Ronald J. Cappellieri, Sales Manager of Domestic, Export and Heirloom, started work in 1981. 1950 Federal Census of Southbury, New Haven County, Connecticut (1 Apr 1950) Henry Bassett 40 M Head CT Production Manager Metal Products Dorothy 38 F Wife NY Susan 9 F Daughter CT Sally 5 F Daughter CT | Bassett, Henry Wade (Harry) III (I2433)

The relatives and friends of the family; also the members of the Exempt Firemen’s Association, of Brooklyn, the George T. Tremble Association of old Public School, No 7 New York; I.D.K Chowder Club, are respectfully invited to attend the funeral, on Tuesday, the 21st, at half-past two o’clock p.m., from his late residence, No. 237 Powers Street, Brooklyn, Eastern District. Brooklyn Eagle October 20, 1884, Page #5 Arthur Bassett There has not been any better known citizen in the Eastern District for over twenty years than Arthur Bassett, counselor at law, who died at his residence, No. 237 Powers Street, yesterday. He was born in the Tenth Ward of New York in 1826; received his earlier education at old Public School No. 7, of which the late George T. Trimble was principal, and then he became a pupil of the Free Academy, now the College of the City of New York. Shortly after reaching his majority Jr. Bassett left New York and took up his residence in Williamsburgh. There he soon became prominent in political circles, never, however, aspiring to any office. He much preferred to be outside, where, in emergencies, active and energetic men were of consequence, and had some satisfaction in noting the success of their work. He joined the Fire Department, notwithstanding the fact that he required an iron frame, nine inches high, as a sole to his left foot to make one leg as long as the other. In spite of this disadvantage he never lost his place on the rope in running to a fire, and was usually at the head when a lively race between rival companies was in order. He limped, but, as was remarked of him, "he limped to some purpose." As a counselor he was successful, whether in advising his clients in his office or in representing them in the court room, and there were many Eastern District lawyers who would prefer almost any other adversary at the bar. He was an excellence musician, and the violin in his hands was eloquent. This latter accomplishment made him cordially welcome in social circles, and he was a valued member in several leading Eastern District clubs. He has been for a long time confined to his home, and latterly to his bed, with the sickness which carried off. His loss will be felt and greatly regretted in many circles. He leaves a widow and several children. 1860 Federal Census of 15th Ward, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York (13 Jun 1860) Arthur Bassett - 32 - M - New York - Copyist Ann - 34 - F - Maryland Catherine - 10 - F - New York Demas S. - 7 - M - New York Maria S. - 5 - F - New York George A. - 1 - M - New York 1870 Federal Census of 15th Ward, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York (18 Jul 1870) Arthur Bassett - 46 - M - New York - Lawyer 500 Mary - 50 - F - Maryland - Keeping House Cath.

| 36182 | New York Herald Sunday, January 20, 1900 Ninth Arrest For Wrecking Canal Frank Bassett - Now in Jail in Rome, New York Because of Recent Trouble in Forestport Rome, New York - Saturday - Frank Bassett of Forestport, was arrested today in connection with the Forestport canal dam break. He is the ninth man ot be taken into custody on the charge of being concerned in wrecking the dam. Bassett was employed as a lock tender last year. Excerpt from: The Forestport Breaks: A Nineteenth Century Conspiracy Along the Black River Frank Bassett was thirty-six years old, a canal bank watchman and occasional sawmill laborer with five children and a wife named May. He was of modest height and weighed about 175 pounds. A black-mustachioed, tobacco-using, eighteen-year resident of Forestport, he was regarded by his neighbors as honest and straitforward. He was trusted enough, after all, to have been named canal bank watchman. The Saturday evening arrest of Frank Bassett near his home on the Alder Creek road proved especially “heart-rending”, in the words of one reporter. His children were young and his wife, May, was vulnerable to trauma. Though not everyone knew it, her death records would show she was epileptic and could have a seizure in trying times. The distraught family watched helplessly in a driving rainstorm as Wetmore and a Pinkerton man put Bassett aboard a double sleigh led by two white ponies and took him away to jail. Everyone was miserably soaked by the time they arrived in Rome three hours later. Jailers placed Bassett in his jail cell and told him he was charged with causing the 1899 Forestport break. On Monday, Utica attorney William Townsend sought a $5,000 bail for Bassett. Curtin agreed to it. Bassett was brought from Rome to Utica in anticipation of his release, and several propertied Forestport men indicated they would go his bail. But then Bassett informed them Monday that he had already confessed to the Pinkertons, With that intelligence, Bassett’s ostensible friends, the lumbermen George Ainsworth and James Gallagher, turned around and returned to Forestport without him. If Bassett were spilling the beans, he could take care of his own affairs. Ainsworth and Gallagher, the Rome Daily Sentinel stated on 22 January, concluded that in light of his confession, “they had better keep their unencumbered property for the bonds of any others who might be arrested and from whom a confession could not be pumped.” Forestport was closing ranks against outsiders. That night, a forlorn Bassett lamented to one of the Pinkerton detectives about the perversions of the bail system. Why was it that someone manly enough to confess his sins was not able to secure bail? The Rome Daily Sentinel Tuesday Evening, November 27, 1900 Bassett Goes to Prison Frank Bassett, the Forestport feeder breaker, who was on Monday sentenced to Auburn prison for one year, was taken to the 11:09 train this morning by Deputy Sheriff Hugh P. Owens and turned over to Sheriff Buckley of Utica, who accompanied him to Auburn. Bassett was down-hearted and appeared to feel his position keenly. Before boarding the train he shook hands with Sheriff Owens and said: “I am going up there to behave myself so that I can get out as soon as possible and take care of my family.” Bassett has a wife and five children who are dependent on him for support. Chief Detective H.W. Bearce of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, who has so ably assisted District Attorney Curtin in bringing the Forestport feeder breakers to justice, has earned a deserved promotion, having been appointed over the agency in Philadelphia, as superintendent of the office in that city. Rome Sentinel New York Monday Evening, September 20, 1948 Forestport F.A. Bassett Expires at 83 FORESTPORT - Frank A. Bassett, 83, proprietor of the Forestport Hotel for many years, died Friday night at the Hines Nursing Home, Boonville. He had been ill for some time, and seriously ill for the past two months. A native of Cohoes, he was born July 6, 1865, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Bassett, and came to Forestport as a young man. On January 8, 1888, he married the former May Agnes Rockwell, Forestport. She died October 20, 1932. After his arrival in Forestport, he followed the occupation of lumbering, and later conducted the Alder Creek Hotel for several years. After selling this property, he conducted the local hotel. Surviving are four sons, Elmer F., George J. and Clarence E., Forestport, and F. Wade, Fulton; two daughters, Mrs. Lena L. Wickham and Mrs. Laura G. Rogers, Utica; and a sister, Mrs. Rose Demarest, Green Island. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. at the home of his son, Clarence E., Forestport. Burial, in charge of C.W. Trainor, will be in Alder Creek Cemetery. 1880 Federal Census of Cohoes, Albany County, New York (June 11, 1880) Anthony Bassett - 42 - Male - CN-IR-VT - Head - Laborer Mary - 36 - Female - NY-IR-VT - Wife - Housekeeper James - 20 - Male - CN-IR-VT - Son - Laborer Frank - 16 - Male - NY-IR-VT - Son - Laborer Schuyler - 14 - Male - NY-IR-VT - Son - Work Cotton Mill Rosa - 10 - Female - NY-IR-VT - Daughter - At School George - 7 - Male - NY-IR-VT - Son - At School John - 6 - Male - NY-IR-VT - Son Exiana - 5 - Female - NY-IR-VT - Daughter (IR - Ireland, CN - Canada) 1910 Federal Census of Forestport, Oneida County, New York (April 15, 1910) Frank Bassett - 44 - Male - NY-CF-UN- Head - Laborer Saw Mill Mary - 39 - Female - NY-NY-NY - Wife Elmer - 20 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Son - Laborer Car Shop George - 18 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Son - Laborer Saw Mill Wade - 16 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Son Lena - 14 - Female - NY-NY-NY - Daughter Laura - 11 - Female - NY-NY-NY - Daughter Stuart - 7 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Son Clarence - 4 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Son Warren - 2 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Son (Married 21 years, 8 children, 8 living) (CF - French Canadian, UN - Unknown) 1930 Federal Census of Forestport, Oneida County, New York (April 24, 1930) Frank Bassett - 65 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Head - Laborer Hotel Mary A. - 60 - Female - NY-NY-NY - Wife Clarence - 25 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Son - Laborer Common Warren - 23 - Male - NY-NY-NY - Son - Laborer Common (Living on East River Road) (Married at 25 and 19) 1940 Federal Census of Forestport, Oneida County, New York (April 9, 1940) Frank Bassett (Widow) - 74 - Male - Head - Cohoes, New York - Retired Hotel Keeper | Bassett, Frank A.

| 36183 | New York Herald Tribune December 15, 1892 Allen L. Bassett Allen L. Bassett, president of the Board of Trade of Newark, died at his house, No. 17 Clinton avenue, Newark, yesterday, in his sixty-sixth year, from pleura-pneumonia. Mr. Bassett was born in Derby, a suburb of New Haven, Connecticut. Before he was of age he went to New York City and there engaged in the wholesale and jobbing hardware business until the war broke out, when he became Captain of Company D, 23rd Regiment, New York Volunteers, and served as such until after the battle of Gettysburg. Impaired health compelled him to resign his commission. In 1879 he went to Newark. Within a few years, he organized and became the first president of the Prudential Insurance Company. He remained with that company four years, and then associated himself, as resident manager, with the Metropolitan Industrial Insurance Company, of New York. This position he held at his death. Mr. Bassett became a member of the Newark Board of Trade in June, 1880, and was soon one of its most active and useful members. He was vice-president and president in 1887 and 1888, and was elected again as president that year. Mr. Bassett was a Republican, and he spoke for the party in many campaigns, but the only office he ever held was that of Coroner. He left a widow and two children. The latter are Carroll Phillips Bassett, a civil engineer, and Allena Bassett. New York Times Decembr 15, 1892 Col. Allan Lee Bassett Col. Allan Lee Bassett, a well-known citizen of Newark, New Jersey, died at his home there yesterday of pneumonia. He was born in Derby, Connecticut, in February, 1827. In 1865 he removed to Newark and went into the real estate business. At one time he was President of the County Republican Committee, and when he died he was President of the Newark Board of Trade. He served in the rebellion as Colonel of the Twenty-third Regiment, N.G.S.N.J. He was a distant relative of President Harrison. Cyclopedia of New Jersey Biography (1923) Bassett, Allan Lee - Soldier, Editor, Underwriter Allan Lee Bassett was born on the family farm in New Haven county, near Derby, Connecticut, on February 28, 1827. His ancestors were of old Puritan stock. John Bassett, the first of his paternal line in this country, came to New Haven from England in 1642, and many of his descendants were prominent in the colonial life of New England, being landowners, farmers, educators, legislators and soldiers. His maternal ancestors were no less distinguished. His mother, Nancy Lee, was a descendant in the sixth generation of John Eliot, the Apostle, who emigrated in 1631 from England to Massachusetts, where he made himself famous not only for his learning but for his labors and sufferings as a missionary among the Indians. The parents of Allan desired to educate him for a professional career, as in the case of his brothers, Eliot and Benjamin, who were graduates of Yale College; one becoming a clergyman and the other physician. Accordingly, young Allan was sent to Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven, where he received sound preparation for college. His enterprising spirit and eager desire to take part in the busy scenes of life could not, however, brook the delay incident to a college course, and at the age of eighteen he went to New York City to enter the commercial house of his uncle, Benjamin Franklin Lee, as a clerk. During the succeeding twenty years he was actively engaged in commercial affairs, organized and successfully conducted the firm of Bassett & Mace, manufacturers and wholesale dealers in twine and hardware. When the Civil War broke out he organized a military company known as the Brooklyn Greys, of which he was made captain. It was attached under the name of Company D to the Twenty-third Regiment, National Guard of the State of New York, and took part in quelling the New York riots and in the battle of Gettysburg. He remained at the head of the company until the close of the war, when he returned to his home in Brooklyn, disposed of his business, resigned his commission in the regiment, and with his family removed to Irvington, New Jersey. In May, 1866, he established the "Northern Monthly and New Jersey Magazine," of which he was editor and sole proprietor. Its editorial department furnishes evidence of Captain Bassett's good judgement and literary taste as a writer. Two years of close application in this editorial work induced him to sell "The Magazine" to the Putnams of New York, and it was thereafter published as "Putnam's Magazine and Northern Monthly". Soon after abandoning the editorial chair in 1870, he engaged in the real estate business. The financial panic which took place during the following two years drove all land speculators from the market and with them went his occupation as well as a large share of his earnings. On the return of better times in 1875, he organized the Prudential Insurance Company, now one of the most important institutions of its kind in the country. He became its first president, and largely through his efforts the company was placed upon the basis which made possible the wonderful success which has followed. But differences of opinion arising in the conduct of its affairs, he withdrew in 1879 and associated himself with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, and continued throughout the remainder of his life to occupy a position as superintendent in New Jersey, making Newark his residence. Captain Bassett was a staunch Republican, and for several years chairman of the Essex County Republican Committee. He was always among the foremost in enterprises whose aim was the welfare of the community in which he lived. He was a prominent and influential member of the Board of Trade of the City of Newark, and was elected as its president for four terms, an honor without precedent in that organization. He was also a member of the Washington Association, which was established for the purpose of purchasing and preserving Washington's Headquarters at Morristown, New Jersey. In the New Jersey Historical Society he also manifested much interest, and labored zealously to secure a fireproof building for its valuable collections. From early life he was an earnest, consistent Christian, active in every good work. His genial nature endeared him to every one who knew him, and his wonderful energy and executive abilities gave him prominence in every movement, public or private, in which he took part. In December, 1853, Captain Bassett married Caroline, daughter of John Phillips, M.D. of Bristol, Pennsylvania. Six children were born to them, four of whom and their mother died during his residence in Brooklyn. Captain Bassett died at his home in Newark, New Jersey, on December 14, 1892. He is survived by a daughter, Allena, wife of Reverend John Balcom Shaw, D.D., LL.D., president of Elmira College, New York; and a son, Carroll P. Bassett, of Summit, New Jersey. 1870 Federal Census of Clinton, Essex County, New Jersey (6 Jun 1870) Allan L.

Bassett's WIll HARTFORD, Aug. 2 - The will of Erastus J. Bassett of the Aetna Insurance Company, who was one of the oldest and most successful underwriters in the country, will be probated Tuesday next. Most of the estate has been devised in favor of the widow, Mrs. Mary Garfield Bassett, a cousin of the late President Garfield. The three sons of Mr. Bassett by his first wife, Messrs. Elmer Bassett of Chicago, and Eldorus A. and Ernest E.C. Bassett, of this city, the latter occupying a place in the Hartford Post Office, have been cut down to $16,000. It has not yet been decided whether they will contest the will or not. The document is in the handwriting of the testator, and the only ground on which a contest in the courts can be made will be that of undue influence. Mr. Bassett met Miss Garfield at Saratoga several years ago, and married her not long afterward. She has traveled extensively abroad, and has had wealth lavished upon her with a liberal hand. Her mother, Mrs. Harriet W. Garfield, resides with her in the most aristocratic portion of the city. Insurance in Connecticut, excerpt Erastus J.

| 36191 | New York Times, December 23, 2015 Margaret Bassett (Picture included) 1937-2015 Well known as a real estate broker specializing in Manhattan's Upper West Side through the 1980s and 1990s, as well as an accomplished pianist in New York's chamber music circles, Margaret Bassett died on December 6, 2015, comfortably and surrounded by family, at the age of 78 after a very recent diagnosis of aggressive brain cancer. Margaret was an active member of the Chamber Music Conference at Bennington, Vermont (1993?2002) and for the past 25 years has been a much sought-after pianist in the NY area. An accompanist for violinist Arturo Delmoni (New York City Ballet concertmaster) and cellist Michael Finckel, she played chamber music frequently with such notables as Lucy Lin, Steve Ansel, David Oei, Eriko Sato, Maxine Neuman and award-winning violinist Peter Zazofsky. She often hosted informal musical gatherings at her Upper West Side apartment and her home in Brewster, NY. Through the 1990s, she played bridge frequently at the Manhattan Bridge Club. Her successful career in residential real estate began in the mid-1980s. Margaret's reputation for intelligent and honest dealings, along with her warmth, personal sense of responsibility and creative problem-solving abilities, earned her a unique place in a rapidly expanding real estate market. She formed her own company, Margaret Bassett Real Estate (margaretbassett.com), and retired in 2002. The daughter of two schoolteachers, James Lyle Sisk and Pearl Barnett Sisk, Margaret Ann Sisk was born on August 21, 1937 in Champaign, Illinois. She earned her bachelor's degree in music from the University of Illinois in 1959, and was married the same year to statistician Stephen Webb. They moved to Los Angeles in 1962. The couple had three children and were divorced in 1969. After moving to Orange County, California, Margaret worked as a music director for dinner and community theatres and toured with John Ford's Comic Opera Theatre. Margaret and singer Ralph Bassett were married in 1971. They formed Orange County Opera, which brought arts education programs created by Margaret into public schools. They had one son. In 1978, the family moved to New York, where she was worked as an office manager for the Metropolitan Opera National Council then Fran Kaufman of Children's Television Workshop, and was also an accompanist and coach for vocalists. The Bassetts divorced in 1983. In recent years, Margaret traveled extensively and spent time with family, friends and the many musicians who considered her talents, energies and generous spirit invaluable to their vibrant community: in addition to being an intuitive, gifted musician, she was a strong supporter of the arts and individual artists. She is survived by her four children (Doug Webb is a jazz saxophonist in Los Angeles, California; Jennie Webb is an LA-based playwright; Tim Webb works as a trombonist and engineer in Portland, Oregon; William Bassett is a biotech software engineer in Davis, California) and six grandchildren, as well as her good friend, violinist John Howell. A celebration of her life-with music-will be held on February 6, 2016 at the New York Society for Ethical Culture. | Sisk, Margaret (I25254)

| 36196 | New York Times, New York, October 30, 2022 Julius Bass BASS--Julius (Jules), of Garrison, New York and New York City, passed away peacefully on October 25th, 2022 with close friends at his side. He was 87 years old. Mr. Bass's daughter, Jean Bass, predeceased him. No other family members survived him. He did, however, have many close friends who will remember him as a great man, friend, incredible chef and host. There will be no burial service, but a memorial service is expected to be scheduled. Jules was born in Philadelphia and was educated at New York University. He first worked at an advertising agency in New York until the early 1960s, when he co-founded the film production company Videocraft International, later called Rankin/Bass Productions, with his long-time partner Arthur Rankin, Jr. They created and produced a wide array of stop motion animated features as well as many animated television series', most notably the hit television series Thundercats which aired from 1985-1989 and Silverhawks which aired from 1986 through 1988. Jules wrote many of the episodes and also composed the score and lyrics for dozens of these productions. Rankin/Bass was well known for their highly successful animated television holiday specials. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, featuring Burl Ives, is one of the most popular and longest-running Christmas specials in television history. This holiday season will mark its 58th Anniversary. Other holiday classics Jules co- produced include but are not limited to Frosty the Snowman, featuring the voice of Fred Astaire; The Little Drummer Boy featuring Greer Garson and Jose Ferrer; The Year Without a Santa Claus, featuring the voices of Shirley Booth and Mickey Rooney; and, Here Comes Peter Cottontail, with the voice of Danny Kaye as the narrator. Other memorable productions were an animated version of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, followed in 1980 by an animated version of The Return of the King, and The Last Unicorn. Jules also directed several Rankin/Bass features, including Mad Monster Party and The Daydreamer and was also a prolific author. Some of his works include Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon; Cooking with Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon: A Cookbook for Kids; Headhunters and The Mythomaniacs. His body of work is etched in the memories of fans throughout the world, bringing great joy to generations. His contribution to our culture will live on forever. He will be missed. Jules Bass, co-creator of TV?s ?Rudolph? and ?Frosty the Snowman? dies at age 87 Jules Bass, who helped bring Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman into living rooms across the country during the Christmas season, died Tuesday at the age of 87. Bass pioneered stop-motion animation with Arthur Rankin Jr. under Rankin/Bass Productions, which formed in 1960. The duo produced 1964's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and 1969's Frosty the Snowman, becoming the creators of other iconic characters like the narrator for Rudolph, Sam the Snowman (voiced by Burl Ives), and the Abominable Snowman. Rankin/Bass Productions' animation style, called Animagic, used dolls with wire joints and captured their movements one frame at a time, Rankin/Bass historian Rick Goldschmidt told NPR in 2004. The single-frame stop motion process took a painstakingly long time, with a movie that lasted under an hour taking more than a year to animate, he said. The 47-minute Rudolph TV special, based on Johnny Marks' song, was a result of over a year of shooting, Rankin told The Washington Post in 2004. "It's not just the technique," he said. "It's the story, the characters, the music. We knew what we needed: warmth." Two original dolls used in Rudolph, which each cost about $5,000 to make back in 1964, were sold for $368,000 at the Icons and Legends of Hollywood Auction in 2020, a nod to the nostalgia of these holiday films. Rankin/Bass Productions became the go-to guys for stop motion after the release of Rudolph. Bass helped write the music for 1970's Santa Claus is Comin' To Town and 1974's The Year Without a Santa Claus. "We had no problem filling our production schedules, our personal lives and our company's ability to produce," Rankin, who died in 2014, said on The Television Archives. "We couldn't produce all the stuff they wanted to buy from us." Bass and Rankin not only worked on holiday specials but produced other animated series like ThunderCats and The Jackson 5ive. They also created adaptations of novels like J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit, for which they received a Peabody award for in 1977, and The Return of the King in 1980. Bass retired to France where he wrote vegetarian cookbooks for kids and died at an assisted living center in Rye, N.Y. | Bass, Jules (I15)
