| 42867 | The Conway Daily Sun, May 26, 2017 Iris Marie Coville Thompson Ortner (Picture included) Iris Marie Coville Thompson Ortner, 95, died in Nashua on April 19, 2017. She was an independent woman who loved helping others. Known from childhood as Mar-ie (emphasis on the first syllable), she was born April 14, 1922, to Stanley Coville and Iris Marie Bassett and spent her childhood in New Lisbon, N.J., where her father grew blueberries and managed the TruBlu blueberry growers coop. Her grandfather Frederick Vernon Coville domesticated blueberries as a cultivated crop and it was his collaboration with Elizabeth White of Whitesbog, N.J., that brought her parents to New Jersey. Marie attended public schools in Pemberton, N.J., where she met Vinton Newbold Thompson II while in high school. Both enrolled at Cornell University and they married in June 1944. Following a honeymoon in Ocean City, N.J., and an adventurous cross-country wartime auto trip, they spent a summer at Fort Lewis, Wash., where Vinton started his service as an officer in the Army Quartermaster Corps. After his unit was sent to France, Marie enrolled for a year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to train as a draftsman in the design of airplane propellers. Eventually, she returned to Cornell and graduated with a bachelor?s degree in horticulture. Vinton returned from the war in 1946, following a posting in Manila. Marie and Vinton had three children in 1947, 1948 and 1950, Vinton III, Lydia More and Patricia Marie. After renting a house in Pemberton, N.J., they moved in 1950 to Vinton?s large family house in Vincentown, N.J., which they shared with Vinton?s mother Edith until her death in 1960. Marie ran the household and supported Vinton?s work at the family owned Birches Cranberry Co. in Tabernacle, N.J. She was active in the Girl Scouts and PTA, served on the boards of the Episcopal Church and town library and volunteered at Mount Holly Hospital. Following her husband?s untimely death from cancer in 1963, she enrolled in Drexel Institute, received a master?s degree in library science, and worked as a librarian at Cooper Hospital in Camden, N.J., until she retired. During her time at Cooper, she wrote grants for other hospitals in the New Jersey/New York/Pennsylvania tri-state area and lectured extensively on how to purchase and share library resources among hospitals years before the internet. Marie had a long and happy retirement, first in Roxbury, N.Y., where she lived in a historic stone house and was active in the More Family Association, later at the Jenner?s Pond Retirement Community, West Grove, Pa., where she was a Hospice volunteer for many years. In her last years she lived at the Hunt Living Community in Nashua, where she could be closer to her youngest daughter and her brother Stanley Coville of Tamworth. While living in Roxbury she met and married Charles Ortner. They enjoyed several years together and wintered in San Diego and Spain before Charles died in 1986. In later years, she traveled extensively to destinations like Egypt, Norway and Antarctica. In 1972, she purchased a summer cabin in Wonalancet, near her brother Stan and his wife Nancy, and spent many happy months there every year. She also enjoyed collecting antiques, gardening, hiking, forging for wild edibles, gourmet cooking, eating culturally diverse foods, reading and watching her grandchildren grow. She is survived by her children, Vinton Thompson of Manhattan, Lydia Thompson of LaPorte, Colo., Patricia (Heather) Thompson Ryan of Lexington, Mass., and their respective spouses Ruth Moscovitch, Scott Ellis and Thomas Ryan; six grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. She is also survived by three nephews, two nieces, and her sisters-in-law Sister Josephine (Ortner) and Nancy Coville. The family is grateful to the caregivers and volunteers at Home, Health and Hospice of Merrimack and the Hunt Pavilion staff for making her last three months peaceful. Their devotion was outstanding. A service will be held Aug. 19 in Wonalancet (details to be announced). Donations in her memory may be made to Heifer International. | Coville, Iris Marie (I33797)

| 42868 | The Conway Daily Sun, New Hampshire, 20 November 2023 Madeline ?Maddy? Elizabeth (Pritchard) Bassett Madeline "Maddy" Elizabeth (Pritchard) Bassett, 77 years old, of Fryeburg, Maine, passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on November 16, 2023 after living with dementia for many years. Madeline was born on Jan. 1, 1946, to John Michael and Margaret Catherine (Foley) Pritchard in Norwood, Mass. She grew up in nearby Westwood, the youngest of four children. Madeline graduated from Westwood High School in 1963 and went on to earn her associate?s and bachelor?s degrees in business (2008) from Husson University, in South Portland, Maine, while working fulltime. After her high school graduation, Madeline worked at John Hancock in Boston. Maddy shared many stories with her children from this time, including how she, running late and to her children?s delight and disbelief, would dash across the tracks in high heels to get the commuter train into Boston. She soon met her future husband, Brian, while washing her brother?s car in the driveway. The two grew up a block apart but didn?t hit it off until that day. They wed on July 10, 1965, and soon started their family of three children: Maria, Tracy and Justin. After slightly more than a decade, Maddy and her family moved to Fryeburg, Maine to be closer to the family camp. She soon started working at the Superintendent?s Office of MSAD 72, where she remained until retiring in 2013. In her over 30-year career, Maddy worked with five different school superintendents, expanding her role from front office staff, to assistant to the superintendent, and finally to business manager. She was instrumental in planning and aiding in the building of the new Molly Ockett Middle School. Maddy was a member of the Maine Association of School Business Officials and served on the Executive Council. Maddy?s faith was a central part of her life. She was part of the initial group of worshipers to imagine and build the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Fryeburg. She was the church?s first organist and choir director and continued her involvement in the music program, sharing the music ministry in later years, until after her retirement. Loving music from a very early age, Maddy taught herself harmonica, played the clarinet for the Westwood High School Band and later played organ and piano, studying voice and piano with various teachers. She promoted music learning at the C.A. Snow School in Fryeburg through the formation of the Pequawket Valley Music Association, which lives on with The Frank Petillo Memorial Excellence in Arts Award at Fryeburg Academy. She passed along her love of music to her children and informally taught her granddaughters to play the piano. She sang in several local choirs through the years, including the Ralph Farris Chorale, White Mountain Musical Arts, Fryeburg Ecumenical Choir and others. Maddy had a wide range of hobbies and interests, learning many new things over the years, from sewing to basket weaving, gardening to knitting, drawing and watercolor painting to fly fishing, and baking to kayaking. She cherished her time with her many friends, laughing, getting into hilarious hijinks with some, going to the PSO, and just talking and sharing. She was also very active in many local organizations. She was always ready to lend a hand and listen to those in need. However, she most loved spending time with her three granddaughters, baking gingerbread cookies, taking them shopping or to their annual trip to the Fryeburg Fair, gifting them American Girl dolls and accessories matching their interests, and especially spending time with them at the family camp. Maddy is loved by her devoted husband, Brian; her children and their spouses, Maria (Kai Han) Bassett, Tracy (Andrew) Carter and Justin (Jennifer) Bassett; her granddaughters, Heather Jackson, Isabel Bassett and Rebecca Bassett; her brother John Pritchard; her sister Dorothy Broderick; and many nieces and nephews. Maddy is predeceased by her father, her mother, her sister Marjorie Garrison, and her sister-in-law Ann Foster. Family and friends may attend visitation at Wood Funeral Home at 9 Warren St. in Fryeburg on Friday, Dec. 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. Funeral Mass services will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Fryeburg on Saturday, Dec. 2, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Alzheimer?s Association or to St. Jude Children?s Research Hospital.

Mrs. Basset will be remembered for her tales, as a singer and entertainer, and her departure from her Cornish home with her husband was greatly regretted. Her son, during the first Great War, worked in a local foundry, and her husband was long noted for his interest in horses and racing, but he eventually sold his Cornish property, including jewellery, and later his land, buildings and farms, these passing into the ownership of a London syndicate. The news has now reached Cornwall that Mrs. Basset had died in London, on November 27, and that the strictly private funeral was announced without mourning by her own special request, and with a funeral service at Stockbridge, Hants, on Monday, December 1, with a memorial service on the same day in London. Tehidy, it will be recalled, became a County Council hospital for the treatment of tubercular patients, and it has grappled worthily with this difficult and widespread disease. Part of the estate was acquired by the members of the Tehidy Golf Club, and many of the farms and dwellings were purchased by the occupiers; although it was regretted that the historic significance of the castle and monument on Carn Brea Hill had lost its significance, together with the connection of Tehidy with the Cornish tin and copper mines, with the death of Mr. Gustavus Lambert Basset and his wife, whose mansion was valued at £100,000, while the entire estate was more than quarter of a million. Owing to the decline of Cornish mining, Mr. Arthur F. Basset negotiated a successful business deal, through Mr. Goddard and others connected with the estate, but he would have been welcomed as a leader in Cornish mining, business, social matters, and county life generally, with such a colleague as the charming lady of an ancient Cornish family, who has just died at the age of 72. Mr. Basset was the lord of Dolcoath and other mines, but his mineral royalties passed eventually to Tehidy Minerals, Ltd., of which Mr. Donald Thomas is now the chairman.

| 42882 | The County Record, Kingstree, South Carolina, Feburary 5, 1920 Death of Mr. Bass Mr. W.L. Bass, long a resident of Lake City and a highly respected citizen, died last Friday night. Mr. Bass was a lawyer by profession and excelled in his work. He was a cripple, but up to about three weeks ago had seemed in good health. He was forced to take to his bed and a day or two before he died was thought to be improving. He is survived by two daughters, one in Florida and one living in Lake City. He was a familiar figure in Lake City and will be greatly missed there. For a long time Mr. Bass was the Lake City correspondent of The County Record, but some years ago he moved to Florida and his connection with the paper ceased. County Record, Kingstree, South Carolina, Thursday, January 15, 1903 Hon. W.L. Bass (Sketch included) William Leonidas Bass was born and reared in that portion of Marion county now embraced in Florence county. He is the third son of Dr. Thomar R. Bass, who as a physician, a farmer, a citizen and a country gentleman was one of the most successful and highly respected of his day. Dr. Bass was a member of the first Democratic delegation sent from Marion county to the Legislature after the war and was a leader in the movement that in 1876 wrested the State from negro and carpet bag rule. The boyhood days of the subject of this sketch were spent on his father?s farm in doing his share of farm work and attending the neighborhood schools. He was prepared for college by Mr. Arthur H. Harllee, now attorney-general of New Mexico, and E.C .Haynesworth, Esq., of Sumter. He entered the South Carolina College in 1882 and graduated in 1884 in the ?Teachers Course.? Was president of the Euphradian Society two successive terms and delivered the diploma to the graduating class of 1883. In 1895 was elected vice president of the alumni Association. After graduation he studied law in the office of Thos. M. Giland, Esq., and was admitted to the bar in December, 1885. He devoted quite a number of the years of his life to traeching. In 1891 he opened the Lake City High School which he built up from a very small beginning to be one of the best and most widely known school in Eastern South Carolina and won himself the reputation of being among the best teachers of the State. In 1896 he became superintendent of the Blackville Graded Schools. On account of bad health he abandoned teaching, and after a year in Florida and South Georgia spent in regaining his health, he returned to Lake City and opened his law office in January, 1899. Since thistime he has devoted himself exclusively to the law and has built up a good, steady and lucrative practice and had gained the reputation of being an earnest and save counsellor and a hard working and able advocate. He has been connected with some of the most important cases that have arisen in this section, among which we many mention the celebrated ?Baker case? and the Dispensary cases. Men of Mark in South Carolina by James Calvin Hemphill (1907) William Leonidas Bass BASS, WILLIAM LEONIDAS, teacher, superintendent of schools, editor, since 1899 engaged in the practice of law at Lake City, South Carolina, and solicitor for the Bank of Lake City, was born six miles from Scranton, Florence, now Marion county, South Carolina, on the 10th of March, 1862. His father, Thomas Randolph Bass, a physician and farmer, was a member of the house of representatives of South Carolina from 1872 to 1874, representing Marion county; and he led the first Democratic delegation elected after the "Reconstruction" period. He is spoken of by his son as a man of marked ability, energy and devotion to duty, and of high principle. His ancestors came from Burton-on-Trent, England. His great-grandfather, Henry Bass, settled in Transylvania county, Virginia, before the Revolution. Joseph Bass, his son, removed from Virginia to Marion county, where his son, Thomas Randolph Bass, and his grandson, William L. Bass, were born. Thomas R. Bass married Mary Anna Carter, who is the mother of Mr. William L. Bass. All his early boyhood was passed in the country. He had robust health until his thirteenth year, when paraplegia permanently crippled him, compelling him then and ever since to walk only with the help of a crutch. His natural taste for reading and for experimenting with machinery and with electrical devices, marked even before his thirteenth year, was perhaps strengthened after he was cut off from the forms of active exercise common in boyhood and youth. He was trained to work with his hands in his early boyhood and "learned to love work and regular tasks." He had the advantage only of the ordinary common schools until he was thirteen; for several years after that time poor health interfered with study; but in June, 1884, he completed the course for teachers at South Carolina college. He then read law in the office of Honorable Thomas M. Gilland at Kingstree, and by examination before the supreme court he was admitted to the bar in 1885. It is interesting to note in Mr. Bass's record, of the books which have had the strongest influence upon his life, the names of authors to whom so many of the strong men of the last half century have felt themselves indebted for inspiration and moral fiber. He names: "The Bible and Josephus, Plutarch, Guizot's History of Civilization, Ruskin's Sesame and Lilies, Carlyle's Sartor Resartus, Macaulay's History, and Hugh Miller's Testimony of the Rocks, with Campbell's poetry." In 1889 he took the position of principal of the Lake City high school; and in 1896 he resigned that position to become superintendent of the graded schools of Blackville, South Carolina. From 1897 to 1898 he was editor of the Valdosta (Georgia) "Mercury." Since 1899 he has been practicing law at Lake City. His natural bent and his ambition and desire led him toward the study of natural science and the pursuit of physical, chemical and electrical research; but necessity and the logic of events have made him a lawyer; and he has attained a good measure of success in his profession. For many years he has contributed articles to the newspapers and periodical press. On the 16th of June, 1886, he married Miss Eddie R. Lucas, daughter of Edward R. Lucas, of Darlington, South Carolina, who was in charge of the printing of currency at Columbia for the Confederate States during the war. They have had four children, two of whom are living in 1907. While in college he was a member of the Euphradian society, serving for two terms as its president. He is vice-chancellor commander in the Knights of Pythias. He has been prominent in the order and the work of the Good Templars. In his party relations he acts and votes with the Democratic party. He was a member of the house of representatives of South Carolina from 1902 to 1906. In the year last named he was elected senator from Williamsburg, which office he now holds. He is connected with the Missionary Baptist denomination. His favorite amusement and exercise he has found in fishing. He writes: "I also enjoy the use of an automobile, but I find nothing comparable with the 'big end of a fishing rod.'" To the younger people of South Carolina he offers this suggestion: "Learn that luxury enervates; and that mere money-getting is an unworthy aim in life, and an aim which is followed by no truly great and earnest man." | Bass, William Leonidas (I53)

| 42883 | The County Review, Riverhead, New York, November 30, 1917 Bassett Is Alive; Was Declared Dead Disappeared From Westhampton Home 22 Years Ago; Wife Hasn?t Heard From Him He Was Alive November 10 Justice Morschauser Directed Mutual Benefit Association to Pay Mrs. Bassett Insurance Money Abraham Ellsworth Bassett, who disappeared from this home at Westhampton about thirty-two years ago and who was declared legally dead by Justice Joseph Morschauser in the Supreme Court here on October 15, was alive as late as November 10, according to an affidavit made by Charles Carson, a towboatman of East Boston, who has been an intimate acquaintance of Bassett for more than 20 years. Carson states that he received a letter from Bassett on November 14, which was dated November 10, and which was written from Newport News, Va. Bassett was then employed as a cook on a barge running between Fall River and Newport News. Carson says the last time he saw Bassett was at the American House, East Boston, on October 25. Arthur McFarlane, a carpenter, of East Boston, made an affidavit that he knew Bassett and had lived in the same house with him in East Boston for several years and that he had seen and talked with the latter at the American House in that city on October 25. Herbert E. Higgins, of Summerville, Mass., an inspector of the Waterways Commission, who married Bassett?s sister, has sworn that he was speaking with Bassett at the American House in East Boston on October 1. Mrs. Sarah E. Bassett, wife of the missing man, brought an action at the October term of the Supreme Court here against the Mutual Benefit Association of Suffolk County to collect the $1,000 insurance policy covering the life of her husband. Mrs. Bassett testified that she was married to Bassett on June 20, 1882, and that she lived with him up to the time he disappeared, in or about the year 1885. She stated that he left Westhampton in the latter year and she had never heard of him since his departure. According to Mrs. Bassett?s testimony her husband came to Long Island from Norwich, Mass., and after his departure she made inquiries to ascertain where he was, but her efforts were unsuccessful. Mrs. Bassett declared that Everett Bassett, brother of her husband, had not heard from the latter for nineteen years and that his sister, Mrs. A.L. Moody, had not heard from him for a period of several years. The Mutual Benefit Association had no proof at that time to show that Bassett was alive, so Justice Morschauser decided that Bassett was dead and that Mrs. Bassett was entitled to the $1,000 and her directed that the association pay her the money forthwith. Mrs. Bassett had paid the assessments on the policy since her husband disappeared. After the trial of the action George W. Hildreth and John Bagshaw, attorney and secretary, respectively, of the Mutual Benefit Association, were informed that Bassett was alive and resided near Boston, so Secretary Bagshaw, acting under instructions from the board of directors of the association, went to Monemet and Summerville, Mass., and obtained the affidavits which show that Bassett was alive up to within a few weeks ago. It is also stated that a member of Bassett?s family had visited him within the past seven or eight years and that this relative had received postals form him within the past two years. The association withheld the payment of the insurance money pending an investigation of these reports. Lawyer Hildreth has obtained a court order for Mrs. Bassett to show cause at a special term of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn on November 30, shy the judgement declaring her husband legally dead and directing the association to pay her the insurance money should not be vacated. | Bassett, Abraham Everett (I13196)

Mr. Bassett, who was 74 years of age, was the youngest son of the late Mr. William Bassett, and came of one of the oldest families in the district. He was well-known locally, being a butcher at Dormans Land, for some 20 years. Nearly 30 years ago he returned to Edenbridge, and his genial disposition gained him many friends wherever he went. In his younger days he was well-known and greatly respected as a sportsman, being a cricketer above the average, and only business ties prevented him being tried by Sussex County Cricket Club. He assisted many local clubs, and after retiring from active play he carried on as umpire. He was well acquainted with many of the old Sussex County players. He also kept greyhounds and won many prizes at various local coursing meetings. Much sympathy is expressed with his blind sister and aged brother.

After the many congratulations and well wishes of friends for the couple the wedding party repaired to the dining room where the table fairly groaned beneath its burden of rich viands so artistically arranged, and so inviting to the inner man. Supper being over all returned to the parlor where they pleasantly whiled away the hours, and where to a looker on it would seem that our friends Cupid had not finished his conquests. Mr. and Mrs. Bass left the following morning for their home in the Old Dominion. Mr. Bass is one of Virginia?s perservering and energetic young men, and is to be congratulated on claiming for his bride such a refined and polished lady, but North Carolina?s loss in Virginia?s gain.

May their barque sail over placid waters on life?s tempestuous sea and may the Holy Spirit guide them at last into the heaven of eternal rest. G.T.W. | Day, Mollie Ann (I42)
