37258 | Partial Obituary for Thomas Bassett Ellwood Bassett, one of the earliest pioneers in this part of the state, having come to Browerville with his parents in the spring of 1865, died Friday evening at his home here as the result of advancing old age. He had been in declining health and strength for several years and became bedfast a few weeks before his death. Thomas Ellwood Bassett was born August 22, 1860, at Cottage Grove, Minnesota. He was the son of John Bassett and Amelia McCormick Bassett and nephew of the late Daniel Bassett and Joel Bassett, pioneers who took a prominent part in the settlement and growth of the city of Minneapolis. Mr. Bassett received his early education in Minneapolis where with the family, his father owned and operated a steamboat on the Mississippi River plying between that city and Memphis, Tenn. This followed a venture to Todd county in 1865 when they homesteaded a farm, a portion of which remained in the possession of Mr. Bassett and his home throughout his long residence here, after their return to Todd county in 1870. Of an old colonial family, descended from the French Huguenots, his parents were members of the Society of Friends and he received his early teachings from them and the impressions then gained he carried through his long life. He had a heart full of the milk of human kindness which he distributed among his associates with liberal hands. Through all his life he displayed those admirable virtues of Christian charity and kindness. He was a friend of every person in distress, a kind husband, indulgent father and an honest upright citizen...... 1870 Federal Census of Hartford, Todd County, Minnesota John Basset - 58 - M - New Hampshire - Farmer 3000 20 Amelia - 42 - F - Canada - Keeping House James F. - 18 - M - Minnesota - At home Mary - 15 - F - Minnesota - At home John F. - 13 - M - Minnesota - At home Thomas E. - 11 - M - Minnesota - At home Herbert - 9 - M - Minnesota - At home Abbie E. - 5 - F - Minnesota - At home Jethro ??? - 30 - M - Pennsylvania - Farmer 700 300 1880 Federal Census of Hartford, Todd County, Minnesota John Bassett - 68 - M - NH-MA-NH - Head - Farmer Amelia - 50 - F - CN-IR-EN - Wife - Keeping House John Thaddeous - 22 - M - MN-NH-CN - Son - Works on the Farm Thomas E. - 20 - M - MN-NH-CN - Son - Works on the Farm Herbert - 17 - M - MN-NH-CN - Son - Works on the Farm Abbey L. - 14 - F - MN-NH-CN - Daughter - At Home Todd County Histories, Thursday, January 31, 1935 Township History - Hartford, pages 82 and 83 In the early settlement of the town of Hartford, the figure of John Bassett occupies the center of the stage: and here the story of Hartford merges into the realm of general history. The Bassett Family is of ancient French descent. It was identified with the Hugeonot movement in France and the Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve, left but one of the family living. The settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony offered an asylum to the persecuted, and we find the remnant of the Bassett family living at Lynn, Massachusetts, as early as 1640, and possibly earlier than that. From that time the annals of New England have much to tell of various members of the family. John Bassett was born at Wolfborough, New Hampshire, on January 3, 1812, and attended the schools of that state until he arrived at the age of twenty years, when he went to work on the parental farm. After two years he went to Illinois, first to Peoria and then to the Mines at Galena. For a time he was engaged in lumbering operations in Wisconsin, but soon returned to Galena, where he worked as a stage driver, following this occupation for six years, when he went to Minnesota in 1848, the year before it was made even a Territory. Near St. Paul and Minneapolis for some years he followed successfully farming and stock raising. He finally concluded that it was necessary for him to find a less crowded location to get the best results from stock raising. So far as we know his group of settlers was the largest to come to the county at one time. In April 1865, he assembled his outfit to find a more favorable place in Northern Minnesota. His outfit made such an impressive appearance in that day, as it consisted of five wagons with teams and men, the family in one wagon. There was also 75 cows and 125 other cattle. The oldest boy,, then living, James F., was a youth of 13 years, and rode a pony with others to keep the cattle moving on the road. On April 15, 1865, as the caravan was preparing to move out of Minneapolis, the message came that President Lincoln had been assassinated the night preceding at Washington. Traveling slowly, the party arrived at Sauk Centre in June. Originally it had been Mr. Bassett's intention to settle in the region about Ottertail lake, but on the way he became interested in accounts of the long meadows along the river north of Long Prairie and he determined to investigate before passing by. To rest the stock, he had the caravan encamp for several days while he, on horseback, scouted the country for miles beyond Long Prairie. The result of his observations were such that on his return to Sauk Centre he set his train in motion for the Long Prairie Country. He was not without wise counsel in this connection. Well meaning residents of Sauk Centre felt deeply concerned over the grave mistake he was making, and warned him that the country above Long Prairie was so sandy that white beans could not grow in the soil. However he was not to be dissuaded from his purpose. He told the gratiutious advisers that he had a good farm in Washington County that would raise all the beans he needed, and what he wanted was grass and hay, that he had seen growing along the Long Prairie river. Passing the site of the former Indian Agency, they could observe nothing but old cellars, wells and furroughs that showed where these had been cultivated fields. Halting the caravan on the east side of the Long Prairie river, opposite the junction with the Eagle Creek, he made the first settlement in Hartford, June 28, 1865. That summer the family slept under the wagons and cooked under the shelter of a few boards. In September a log cabin had been erected and the family moved in. This was the first house in town. It was just twelve feet square, and at the present day would seem to be something less than commodious for a good sized family, but there was no complaint over such trifles in Hartford seventy years ago. Mr. Bassett addressed himself to the needs of his neighbors as well as his own. The assistance and the employment he gave to his neighbors those first years helped them over many occasions of emergency and distress. Soon after arrival, he saw before the others the need of many things. Most of the settlers had children and he saw the need of schools, but there was no county government, no township government and no public schools. Mr. Bassett solved the school problem in his vicinity by establishing a private school at his own expense for all the children. He employed a teacher, Miss Hickman from Sauk Centre, as teacher and maintained the school for two years until the county was organized and public schools provided. About the same time he secured the establishment of the first post office at Hartford, taking care of it himself for a time. Edward Elmer, another settler, carrying the mail from Sauk Centre. With the gradual opening of fields, the settlers found that they could not consume all of their produce and began to feel the need of a market where they might convert their surplus into cash that would procure for them other things they needed. To meet this need, Mr. Bassett built a large flat boat, on which they were able to float their produce down the river to the Northern Pacific railroad, which had arrived at Motley in 1871. Later he sold this boat to John Wait who used it in conjunction with a steamboat which he built to ply between Long Prairie and Motley. He held the confidence of all his neighbors to an unusual degree, and any office of position or honor that he would accept was freely accorded him. He served as officer in town, school and county offices. He was the first elected county commissioner for the Hartford district. In the middle of the seventies, wishing to retire from active farm work, he built a flatboat and went from Minneapolis to St. Louis. Then in association with his son, James F., he built a river steamboat of 100 tons burden and then engaged in freighting on the Mississippi, going as far south as Vicksburg, Mississippi. For a time they were engaged in transporting cotton down th Yazoo river. The enterprise was not found to be profitable, and they returned with the steamer to St. Paul, where James F. took over the entire freighting business and John Bassett returned to his farming interests in Hartford. For two years James F. used the steamer to tow barges laden with brick from Chaska to St. Paul when he sold out and returned to Hartford. In 1845 Mr. Bassett married Miss Amelia McCormick, a native of Canada, and to them were born the following named children: first two boys, who died in infancy; James Franklin, Mary, John Thaddeus, Thomas Elwood, Herbert Joel and Abbie L. Of these children, two died in infancy, and Mary, John Thaddeus, and Abbie L. died unmarried. James F. Bassett, or Frank as he is better known, was born at St. Anthony, Minnesota, now southeast Minneapolis, on May 10, 1853, and as a youth of thirteen years rode a pony to keep the cattle on the move in the journey to Hartford in June, 1865. His education was received in the schools of Minnesota, and he has been a man of affairs since he arrived at the age of eighteen. He has served in every position of trust and honor at the disposal of his fellow citizens in Hartford and Browerville, which speaks for the esteem in which he is held by those who knew him. For many years he has been the magistrate before whom a large number of criminal cases are heard, and Judge Bassett court has the confidence of the bar. On November 12, 1877 he married Miss Isabella Neil, the daughter of a pioneer who emigrated from Scotland, and settled in Hartford in the sixties. To them were born three children, Thomas W., now dead, Robert H., now of Salt Lake City; and Mabel G., of Browersville. Herbert Joel Bassett, son of John, was born at Cottage Grove, Minnesota, in 1863. He never married and now makes his home in Rapid City, S.D. He was a very small child at the time of the removal to Hartford. Thomas Ellsworth Bassett was born at Cottage Grove, Minnesota, shortly before the removal of the Bassett family to Hartford, and he grew up in the county. He married Miss Rose Schneider, the daughter of a German settler, and to them were born the following named children: Ethel, now Mrs. Clem Bentz; Luella, now Mrs. Wilbur Sleeper; Rudolph, who married Miss Anna Hynnek; Alice, who is unmarried; Eileen, now Mrs. Earle Larsen; and a child who died in infancy. | Bassett, Thomas Elwood (I1439)

37264 | Past and Present of Bureau County, Illinois Oscar S. Bass Oscar S. Bass, who is engaged in general farming in Berlin township, was born in Malden, Bureau county, May 19, 1854, and is descended from New England ancestry. His father, Edwin Bass, was born in Connecticut, January 28, 1816, and was married in 1842 to Emeline J. Stannard, whose birth occurred in the state of new York May 3, 1924, They became early resident of Bureau county, settling within its borders during the pioneer epoch in its history. In their family were the following named: Caroline, deceased; Lucian; Luther G.; Sidney and Charlotte, both deceased; Oscar S.; Edwin, who is mentioned elsewhere in this volume; Heber and Howard, twins, also deceased; Wallace, and Alonzo C. Oscar S. Bass was reared on the old homestead farm and enjoyed excellent educational privileges. After attending the public schools he became a student in Chicago University, where he completed his course in 1880. The occupation to which he was reared he has made his life work, and is a prosperous and enterprising farmer of Berlin township, having two hundred acres of land which he has brought under a high state of cultivation. The fields are will tilled and there are good buildings and modern improvements on the place, which presents a neat and attractive appearance, indicative of the care and labor which Mr. Bass bestows upon his farm and also of his good business ability. Oscar Bass was united in marriage to Miss Cora M. Cottrell, who was born in Bureau county, August 27, 1861, her parents being Nicholas and Mary (Cole) Cottrell, both of whom were natives of Worthington, Massachusetts, where the father was born December 8, 1928, and the mother on the 7th of May, 1813. Mrs. Bass is a lady of superior culture, refinement and education, who completed her studies in Smith College, in Massachusetts.

It is the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Bass to supply their other children with good education privileges. Theirs is a pleasant and attractive home, standing in the midst of a fine farm of two hundred acres, and they are cordially received in the best homes where culture and intelligence are accepted as the passports to good society.

37265 | Past and Present of Greene County, Missouri Early and Recent History and Genealogical Records of Many of the Representative Citizens By Jonathan Fairbanks and Clyde Edwin Tuck Sampson Bass Mr. Bass was born in Marion County, Tennessee, on December 8, 1827. He is a son of Andrew and Ellen (Smith) Bass. The father was a native of Georgia, from where he removed to North Carolina, thence to Tennessee when a small boy, and he grew to manhood in the last named state on a farm, and there received a limited education. He emigrated with his family in 1830 and, by mistake, settled on land belonging to the Indians, who subsequently drove him off and he settled in Greene county in the fall of 1830, securing eighty acres at first. He started with practically nothing in this state, but being a man of exceptional ability, he became wealthy for those times and owned fourteen hundred and forty acres of land at the time of his death, having acquired his property by hard work and good management, and he died in 1867 on the place where our subject now lives. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His wife was a native of Marion county, Tennessee, and there grew up on a farm, received a limited schooling and there she married Mr. Bass. She was a pioneer woman in every respect, working hard assisting her husband to get a start in the wilderness, spinning and weaving, molding candles, making soap and the thousand and one things about the house, of which the modern woman knows nothing except by tradition. She was also a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Her death occurred on the homestead here in 1862. To these parents fourteen children were born, namely: Sampson, our subject, is the oldest; John, Henderson, Jackson and James are all deceased, Martin V. lives in Greene county, Newton, McCord and Leonard H. are deceased, Lila lives in Polk county, Missouri; Leda, deceased; Narcissus, deceased; Margaret is living in Greene county; Ellen also lives in this county. 1830 Federal Census of Marion County, Tennessee Andrew Bass 30001-00001 3 males under 5, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 20-30 1840 Federal Census of Gasconade County, Missouri Andrew Bass 223001-200001 2 males under 5, 2 males 5-10, 3 males 10-15, 1 male 30-40, 1 female under 5, 1 female 30-40 1850 Federal Census of Jackson, Greene County, Missouri (December 24, 1850) Andrew Bass - 50 - Male - Alabama - Farmer 3000 Nelly - 54 - Female - Tennessee Henderson - 21 - Male - Tennessee - Farmer Andrew J. - 19 - Male - Tennessee - Farmer James F. - 18 - Male - Tennessee - Farmer Delilah - 16 - Female - Missouri Nety E. - 15 - Female - Missouri Martin V. - 12 - Male - Missouri Josiah - 11 - Male - Missouri Narcissa - 10 - Female - Missouri Nelly - 9 - Female - Missouri Martha - 7 - Female - Missouri McCord - 5 - Male - Missouri Leonard H. - 4 - Male - Missouri 1860 Federal Census of Jackson, Greene County, Missouri (June 30, 1860) Andrew Bass - 54 - Male - North Carolina - Farmer 6000 9000 Elender - 55 - Female - North Carolina Martha - 6 (17) - Female - Missouri McCord - 14 - Male - Missouri Laurena (Leonard) - 4 (14) - Male - Missouri | Bass, Andrew Jackson Sr. (I3)

37266 | Past and Present of Greene County, Missouri Early and Recent History and Genealogical Records of Many of the Represntative Citizens By Jonathan Fairbanks and Clyde Edwin Tuck Arthur W. Bryant In reading over the record of the lives of many of the leading citizens one becomes impressed with the fact that certain families show at the outset a strong inclination toward books and learning generally, or in at least keeping up with the times on current topics, especially dealing with national affairs. The Bryant family, which has long been well established in Greene county, is one of this type, and we find that Arthur W. Bryant, at present a progressive merchant of Strafford, was formerly a successful educator and is a well informed man on current topics. Mr. Bryant was born near Fair Grove, Missouri, August 10, 1870. He is a son of Junius A. and Sarah J. (Harkness) Bryant. The father was born in North Carolina, June 9, 1834, and when a child his parents removed to Maury County, Tennessee, where he grew to manhood and attended school, receiving an excellent education for those times. He spent his early life on the home farm. When twenty-two years of age he emigrated to Missouri and located in Greene county, near Fair Grove, where he purchased a farm and engaged successfully in general farming an stock raising. He taught school a number of years with much success. Being successful, the last few years of his life were spent in retirement from active work. His death occurred January 6, 1910. During the Civil War he was a soldier in the Eighth Missouri Cavalry, Union army, serving two years in Company C, proving to be a gallant soldier in every respect. He was honorably discharged in St. Louis on account of disability. He took part in a number of minor engagements. He was a member of the Baptist church. The mother of our subject was born in Tennessee, February 13, 1841, and when an infant her parents brought her to Missouri, where she grew to womanhood on the home farm near Fair Grove and was educated. She and Mr. Bryant were married April 6, 1858. She was a member of the Baptist church. Her death occurred December 10, 1911. Seven children were born to Junius A. Bryant and wife, namely: Columbus N.; Mrs. Nannie Dyer, deceased; John F.; Walter W.; Arthur W., of this sketch; William S.; Viola, deceased. Arthur W. Bryant grew to manhood on the home farm and worked there during his boyhood, receiving a good common school education. He began life for himself by teaching school four years, after which he began his career as merchant in Strafford in 1896, and has continued in the same line with ever increasing success to the present time, enjoying a large and lucrative business with the town and surrounding country, and always carrying a well selected stock of general merchandise at all seasons. His aim is to deal courteously and fairly with all. Mr. Bryant was married March 22, 1897, to Lola M. Bass, who was born near Bassville, Greene county, December 22, 1877, and there she was reared on a farm. She is a daughter of Martin V. and Edith (Allen) Bass, who are living still on the old home place and are well known in this part of the county. Mrs. Bryant received a good education and in her girlhood taught school several years. She is a member of the Baptist church. Five children have been born to our subject and wife namely: Junius S., born January 27, 1898; the second child died in infancy; Nola M., born April 6, 1905; the fourth child died in infancy; Marion W., born April 1, 1911.

37268 | Past and Present of Livingston County, Volune 2 John T. Milbank John T. Milbank is prominently connected with milling interests in Chillicothe and his is a well directed enterprise in which careful management and unfaltering industry are meeting with success. While Mr. Milbank has spent much of his life in Livingston county he as born in Troy, Madison county, Illinois, February 9, 1861, his parents being George and Nellie (Swain) Milbank. The father's birth occurred in Essex, England, on the 14th of July, 1833, and he was a young man of twenty-two years when in 1855 he came to America, settling first at Akron, Ohio. He was a miller, which trade he had learned in his native land, and later followed it in Ohio. Subsequently he took up his abode near Evansville, Indiana, and afterward removed to St. Louis, where he resided from 1856 until 1860. In the latter year he removed to Troy, Madison county, Illinois, where he conducted a milling business on his own account. In 1867 he arrived in Chillicothe and built the plant known here as the City Mills, thus establishing the business of which his son John T. is now proprietor and which for more than forty-five years has been one of the important manufacturing industries of the city. On the 3d of May, 1860, George Milbank was married to Miss Nellie Swain and they became the parents of nine children: John T., of this review; Sallie W.; George M.; Lucy T.; Charles R.; Mary L.; Henry S.; Kate S.; and Nellie May, deceased. The father died its 1903 after having lived retired since 1897. It is interesting in this connection to note something of the more remote ancestry of John T. Milbank, whose paternal grandparents were Thomas and Sarah (Wallace) Milbank, both natives of England, where they spent their entire lives. John T. Milbank, spending his youthful days under the parental roof, acquired his education in the district schools and was trained to habits of industry and economy. He early became familiar with the milling business through the assistance which he rendered his father from early boyhood and in 1897 upon his father's retirement he and his brother Henry Milbank purchased the mills which they operated in joint ownership until February 14, 1911, when the subject of this review bought his brother's interests and is now sole proprietor. The plant has a capacity of one hundred and fifty barrels of flour and fifty barrels of corn meal per clay, and this product is sent out over a broad territory, covering a radius of one hundred miles from Chillicothe. It is also sold on the St. Louis market and is shipped extensively into the south. The establishment of these mills in Chillicothe encouraged the growing of wheat in Livingston county, something that had been done to a very limited extent prior to that time, but its production has since greatly increased until it is now one of the staple crops of the county. On the 9th of May, 1895, Mr. Milbank was married to Miss Bessie W. Palmer, a native of Des Moines, Iowa, and a daughter of Serring Palmer, who was born in Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Milbank have become the parents of three children; George Edward, born July 14, 1897; John Palmer, born February 17, 1900; and Elizabeth Sarah, born July 18, 1905. Mrs. Milbank holds membership in the Episcopal church and Mr. Milbank is a member of the Masonic fraternity in which he has attained the Royal Arch degree. His life conforms to the high teachings of that organization and his social and business connections both place him in a prominent position among the representative citizens of Chillicothe. His has been a useful, active and well spent life in which enterprise, energy and ambition have triumphed over difficulties and obstacles and placed him among the more successful representatives of industrial activity. | Milbank, John Thomas (I15)

Bassett; Little Son, Oliver Howard Bassett: Brothers, Oliver H. and J. Arthur Bassett; Sister, Mrs. F.C. Schulte. | Bassett, Patrick Solon (I20528)

Irene Kathryn Oelke was born October 26, 1925 on a farm southeast of Blue Earth, to Edward and Leone (Himber) Oelke. She experienced an idyllic childhood living in the country, surrounded by nature and befriended by the horses and cats. Irene attended country school and later graduated from Blue Earth High School in 1943. She lost her mother at the age of fourteen which transformed her world and instilled in her a deep resilience and perseverance. She worked briefly in the Twin Cities and returned to Blue Earth, where she met an old classmate, George Bassett who she later married on December 27, 1949 at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Blue Earth. They recently celebrated 70 happy years of marriage. Irene and George lived and raised their family at Riverside Farm north of Blue Earth. She was an active member of the Catholic Daughters of America and the American Legion Auxiliary. She loved life on the farm and in turn the farm provided years of fulfillment, beauty and gratitude. Irene deeply loved her family, the land, and her community. She enjoyed flower gardening, liked horses and was an avid sports fan, especially for the Minnesota Twins. She also loved poetry and was an incredible baker, as many have come to crave her cinnamon rolls. Irene is survived by her best friend and loving husband, George; their children, George (Nancy) Bassett, Michele (David) Stahlmann, Sam (Michelle) Bassett, and Suzanne (Paul) Hofrenning; 12 grandchildren, Angela, Dan, Valerie, Frank, Nathan, Elizabeth, Jacqueline, Susanna, Mitchel, Philip, Matthew, and Lillian; 8 great-grandchildren, Noah, Spencer, Jenna, Julia, Eloise, Gemma, Georgia, and Korben; many nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
