    Notes 
    • Clarence and Florence (Loudon) Bassett F16

      Clarence Dewey "Clyde" as he was known, was born in Hooker County to John and Elsie Bassett August 1900. It is believed that they were living along the North Dismal River east of Running Water Bridge at the time. Nothing is available of his early school years but perhaps he attended a school to the north somewhere. The only record available was for the years 1915-16 and 1916-17 at which time he attended the Haney School, believed to have been located in southeastern Hooker county. The family had moved to either southwestern Hooker county or southeastern Grant County, as their address was Elva, located in southeastern Grant County.
      Clyde did not have a homestead as there was no available land left in this area. He worked on area ranches after he was out of school. Clyde and Florence met at the Quinn Ranch where both were employed. They were married May 16, 1925 in Lexington, Nebraska at the home of her brother, P.D. Loudon. There were still some homesteads available in Wyoming so they went to Farson, in Eden Valley, where they homesteaded on the Little Sandy River. Their home was a 2 room log cabin with chinked walls. They did not farm due to dry conditions so Clyde worked for other people in the valley.
      Both Clyde and Florence went to work for a bridge building company that was building bridges around Pinedale, Wyoming. Clyde drove a truck and Florence cooked for the work crew.
      Edna Jean was born to them at Shoshone, Wyoming, February 17, 1930 and Clyde E. was born also at Shoshone April 20, 1932. After the birth of the children, they returned to their homestead for a time, then moved several miles to another place in the same area. They had not been there long until Clyde became ill and was taken to Soda Springs, Idaho, where he died in February 1939. He was buried at Farson, Wyoming.
      Dell went to Wyoming and helped Florence for a time. Florence remarried and they moved to Portland, Oregon where they lived with daughter Jean, who had lost her husband in 1961. Jean is retired and they continue to live in Phoenix. Florence was 80 years of age in 1987.
      Clyde E. lost his wife in 1974 and has since remarried living in Baja, California at present. Thelma Bassett Pearman
