      Asenath Hall Bassett

      After an illness of eleven weeks Asenath Hall, wife of Ex-City Treasurer Parley Bassett, died yesterday morning at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Stanley Bagg, n the eightieth year of her age. In stooping over to pick up something in her room on the 16h of October last Mrs. Bassett fell and sustained a shock to her nervous system so severe that she never rallied from it. She was a great sufferer, especially in the latter days of her illness and was conscious to the last. her three daughters, as well as her bereaved husband, were with her at her death.
      Mrs. Bassett was born near Pittsfield, Otsego county, N.Y., March 26, 1805, and was therefore a few week so completing her four score years. She came of New England stocker, her father, Benjamin Hall, having emigrated from Vermont. Lyman Hall, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, was his uncle. As a girl she had made the acquaintance of Parley Bassett, who had come to Otsego county from Berkshire county, Mass. Mr. Bassett made his home in Syracuse, then a promising young village, in 1828. Three years later, in 1831, he went back to Otsego and made Asenath Hall his br4ide. From that day until her death Syracuse was her home. In 1881 the venerable couple celebrated their golden wedding, at their home on East Fayette street, an occasion which will long be remembered with much pleasure by the friends who gathered there to extend their congratulations and share their hospitality. About a year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Bassett gave up housekeeping and went to live with their daughter, Mrs. Stanley Bagg. The deceased leaves to mourn her loss, besides the partner of fifty-three happy years, three daughters, the wife of Dr. Bartlett, of Meridian, Cayuga county; Mrs. Stanley Bagg and Mrs. Robert H. Davis, of this city, Two children, a son and daughter, died while quite young.
      Mrs. Bassett was one of the original members of the Church of the Messiah (Unitarian) of Syracuse, and was always sincerely devoted to its interests. Her loss will be deeply felt far beyond the domestic circle of which she was the centre. The funeral services will be held at the reside3nce of Stanley Bagg, Esq., in Salina, tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at half past two o?clock, to which friends are invited.
