Obituary, Osbert Andrus Bassett
On Saturday, March 26, 1904, at his home near the reservoir in the town of Norwich, Osbert Andrus Bassett passed away, after an illness of four weeks.
He was a son of the late Uriah D. and Submit Chapin Bassett, and was born March 8, 1830, near where he died and had always lived, excepting three winters with his daughter in this village. His early life was spent mostly in farming where the upper reservoir is now located; but having learned the trade of a millwright of his father-in-law, the late Erasmus Smith, his later years were devoted to designing and constructing flour, grain, feed and sawmills in this state and Pennsylvania.
Mr. Bassett was married Oct. 19, 1852, to Ruth Smith of this town, who survives with two daughters, Mrs. Flora M. Jaynes of this village, and Mrs. Anna E. Franklin, who with her husband resides with her parents. He also leaves three grandchildren, Rev. Almon Andrus Jaynes of Syracuse, Ruth Olive and Walter Bassett Jaynes of this village.
Mr. Bassett was a man of exemplary habits and sterling integrity, a kind and obliging neighbor and a most devoted and affectionate husband and father.
The funeral services will be held at his late residence near the reservoir Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the Rev. W.D. Benton, D.D. officiating. Burial in the Quarter cemetery.
