Franklin Jared Bassette
Franklin Jared Bassette, a lifelong resient of Interlaken, passed away at the Huntington Living Center in Waterloo on Wednesday, November 21, 2001 at the age of 78.
Frank was the son of the late Myron W. (Sr.) and Margaret S. Filkins Bassette. He was born on June 25, 1923, in Interlaken, New York.
During World War II Frank faithfully served his country in the 104th Infantry Regiment, seeing action in Europe including the Battle of the Bulge. As a member of the 26th (Yankee) Division he received the Croix de Guerre. He was honorably discharged from the Army on January 5, 1946.
Frank was employed by B&L Motors in Trumansburg for many years before entering the real estate profession as a sales agent. Following his retirement Frank worked with the Seneca County Senior Nutrition Program.
Frank was a member of the Interlaken Reformed Church, the Interlaken Fire Department, the Farmersville-Union Lodge #183 F&AM, Interlaken, the Kirk-Casey American Legion Post #366, Seneca Falls and served on the Interlaken Village Board.

Bassett Family Bible
Diane Bassette Nelson
The family believes the Bible was presented to Mary Catherine Peterson and Dewitt Clinton Bassette at the time of their marriage in 1887. The dates for their births and for the parents' births and marriages were entered at that time. With some exception most events occurred in the Town of Covert, Seneca County, New York. All burials are at Lake View Cemetery, Interlaken, Seneca County, New York. Some members of the family dropped the final "e" from the Bassette name.
