Bassett, son of Samuel Kellogg and Jane Augusta Bassett, was born at Troy, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, on July 16, 1834, the second of a family of six, viz: Jane Augusta, Owen Abbott, Samuel Bradford, Mary Josephine, Leonard Jarvis, and Charles Francis, all now living but the third named who died in 1869, then a first lieutenant in the 7th Cavalry Unit States Army. His father, Samuel Kellogg, son of John and Clarissa Bassett, was born at Spencer, New York, in 1805; was by trade a wheelwright, the inventor of several useful machines, one being a steam plow, and died in 1878. His mother, Jane Augusta, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Bradford, was born at Bristo Rhode Island, in 1810, the sixth descendant of Governor Bradford, and is now living. His parents were married in Smithfield, Pennsylvania in 183 His grandfather, John Bassett, was born at Coventry, Rhode Island, in 1770, was by trade a wheelwright, and died in 1842. His grandmother, Clarissa, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Rogers) Kellogg was born at Poultney, Vermont, in 1782, and is now living. His grandfather, Daniel, son of Daniel and Susann (Jarvis) Bradford, was born at Attleborough, Massachusetts, in 1778; was by profession a lawyer, and died in 1821. His grandmother, Sarah, daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Cox) Reynolds, was born at Bristol, Rhode Island, in 1782, and died in 1833. On November 19, 1857, at New London, Iowa, he married Miss Josephine Eliza Butland, only child of Richard and Mary Butland, who was born at Baltimore, Maryland, on November 27, 1835, and educated at Denmark Academy, Iowa. Her father, Richard, son of Richard and Eliza Butland, was born at London, England, in 1800; was a professor of languages. Her mother, Mar daughter of Sampson and Mary (Gillard) Crocker, was born in Devonshire county, England, in 1819, and is now living. Her parents were married at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1834. His wife, Josephine Eliza, has borne to him five children, all born at Lawrence, Kansas, viz: Anna Gertrude, September 4, 1858; Mary Viele, August 2, 1866; Thomas Butland, October 21, 1870; Frederick Leonard, May 19, 1873; and Josephine Edson, September 28, 1875- all now living except the first named who died January 10, 1860. Her mother removed from Baltimore to Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1838, thence to Henry county, Iowa, in 1840, and to Lee county, Iowa, in 1844. She was confirmed and united with the Protestant Episcop church at Lawrence, Kansas, in 1868. Her mother was re-married to Philo G. Fox, and now resides in California. His father removed with his family from Pennsylvania to Hancock county, Illinois, in 1837, thence to Lee county, Iowa, in 1839, residing first at Fort Madison, and afterward at Denmark. He received the rudiments of an education at a school taught by his mother for the purpose of educating her own children, and afterward pursued his studies at Denmark Academy, Iow where he completed the academic course. After leaving the academy he pursued his studies with a view to qualifying himself for a civil engineer, and soon afterward entered upon the study of the law, to qualify himself for the bar. At the age of sixteen he was engaged for five months in teaching one of the public schools at Fort Madison, Iowa. (with an average attendance of over ninety pupils,) which he conducted successfully. In 1855 he was employed in a subordinate position in the United States land office at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, but having been educated a Whig, and refusing to support the Democratic administration of Mr. Pierce, he did no long remain. Soon afterward he formed a partnership with Stillman H. Blood and George C. Brackett, to enga business in the new Territory of Kansas, and in the spring of 1856 started with Mr. Brackett for that Territory, their objective point being Lecompton, the territorial capital. On arriving at Leavenworth via the Missouri river April 5, 1856, he first realized the true political situation by being called up at midnight by a mob intent on learning who he was, whence he came, and what was his purpose. At first he demurred to this public demonstration at so unseasonable an hour, but finally yielded to the importunate invitation conveyed by the mayor and marshall in person, and responded to the clamorous call from the steps of the Leavenworth Hotel, thanking those assembled for their hearty welcome, assuring them that as a private citizen, coming among them a stranger, he had not anticipated such a reception, and in this manner disarmed the Soon after his arrival at Lecompton occurred the wounding of Sheriff Jones at Lawrence, while engaged in making arrests of certain free-state men, and having given free expression to his opinions and made some effort to secure the release of the prisoners, he was "spotted," and in the evening was, while on the street, surrounded by a mob from which he was rescued by General Joseph C. Anderson, representative in the Kansas Legislature and formerly from Lexington, Missouri, who declared that Bassett was a gentleman and his friend, that they had drank together, but, adopting his friend Anderson's advice, he went to Lawrence the next day, and concluded to devote his attention thenceforth to the free-state cause in Kansas. A congressional committee was then engaged in an investigation of the political troubles in Kansas, and he attended its sessions as a reporter for the press. While so engaged at Leavenworth it was definitely understood that an attack was to be made on Lawrence by the border ruffians, and that the town would be defended. With zeal for the cause in which he enlisted he proceeded alone and on foot to Lawrence, two days before the attack, for the purpose of assisting in the defense, but those in authority decided to submit and Lawrence was delivered over to the enemy to be pillaged, burned and humbled. The sack of Lawrence on May 21, 1856, would not have been had the counsels of her young men prevailed. After the sack of Lawrence, in company with Mr. Brackett, he went to Leavenworth, and, at the request of parties interested, they underto escort ex-Governor Reeder out of the Territory. The Governor had come to Kansas as a witness before the investigating committee, and being threatened with arrest under a bogus indictment, demanded the protection of the committee, and being refused it was necessary for an immediate departur Accordingly the Governor was taken up at a wood yard, incognito, as a wood- chopper, by a steamboat, and with his escort landed at another wood-yard below St. Charles on the Missouri river, going thence across the country to t Mississippi, he was safely landed on the Illinois shore, rejoicing that he had escaped the vengeance of a border-ruffian mob. He again returned to Kansas by what was termed the "overland route" through Iowa and Nebraska, and reached Ropka on July 4, 1856, in time to witness the dispersal of the Topeka Legislature by federal bayonets, instead of being permitted to stand with the free-state men in their defense of the right. On August 12, 1856, he joined the "Stubbs," a military company at Lawrence, and that night was in the battle, so called, at Franklin, where a six-pounder brass field piece and some small arms were captured. He was also at the taking of Fort Saunders, August 15, a bloodless victory, and at the capture of Colonel Titus and party, August 16. From this time he was constantly engaged in the service of the free-state army of Kansas, holding the important positions of engineer and quartermaster. In December, 1856, he removed to Leavenworth county, and engaged as engineer of the Quindaro Town Company. In the fall of 1857 he was elected to the Territorial Legislature and served in the special session of 1857, and in the regular session of 1858. He was the youngest member of that body, but none served more faithfully or labored more diligently. In his canvass he pledged himself to work for the repeal of every general law enacted by the bogus Legislature, and introduced a bill at an early day for that purpose, and at the close of the session the bogus laws were publicly burned on Massachusetts Street, in the city of Lawrence, and Kansas was proclaimed a free Territory for all mankind. This was substantially the close of the struggle for dominion between freedom and slavery in Kansas. In the spring of 1858 he removed to Franklin county, and for a time edited and published a newspaper, the "Kansas Statesman." This was a temporary enterprise and soon abandoned, when he returned again to Lawrence in July, 1858, where his home has ever since been. In October, 1858, he was admitted to the bar of Douglas county, and at once entered upon the practice of the law, his chosen profession. From this time he was an adherent of the conservative, or anti-Lane party, in politics, and, although not an active politician, was always out-spoken and positive in his convictions and expressions of opinion. In 1860 he was engaged as counsel for the heirs of Gaius Jenkins, on the re-hearing of the Lane and Jenki contested land case, involving the title to one hundred and sixty acres of land near the city of Lawrence. At the breaking out of the war, in 1861, he tendered his services to the Governor, and rendered some assistance in organizing the first Kans regiments, and early in August undertook the hazardous enterprise of traversing the enemies' country as a bearer of dispatches from Colonel Weer at Fort Scott, to General Lyon at Springfield, Missouri, but before reaching the latter place he learned the result of the battle of Wilson's Creek, and overtook the retreating Union forces at Rolla, where he delivered his despatches to Major Sturgis, then in command. He returned to Kansas via St. Louis, and soon afterward received the appointment of first lieutenant under Colonel Root, who was authorized to raise a regiment of cavalry, and at the organization of Colonel Davis' regiment in November, 1861, then known as the 96h Regiment of Kansas Cavalry, he was commissioned lieutenant-colone In the spring of 1862, under a general order from the Governor, the several skeleton regiments were re-organized, the 9th, Colonel Davis, w consolidated with the 2nd, Colonel Mitchell, under command of the latter. Soon afterward Colonel Mitchell was commissioned a brigadier-general of Volunteers, and by order of the Secretary of War, W.F. Cloud was appointed to succeed to the command, notwithstanding the Governor's commission to Colonel Bassett. This was one of the petty usurpations at the behest of a politician which the War Department was constantly indulging in, and the result in this case was that the lawful successor to the colonelcy of the 2nd Kansas Cavalry, carried his colonel's commission for three years in his pocket, appealing in vain for a just recognition of his claims. The act of Congress expressly vested the appointment in the Governor, but the law was disregarded and justice failed. Notwithstanding this he rode at the head of his regiment and commanded it in every important action in which it was engaged. At Fort Wayne, in the Indian Territory, October 22, 1862, with his regiment unsupported and in the face of vastly superior numbers, he captured a four-gun battery. At Cane Hill, Van Buren, Reeds Mountain, Prarie Grove, and the Fourche he led the advance, and at Prairie de Anne, then commanding a cavalry brigade, he covered t retreat of the 7th Army Corps to Camden. With a well-drilled and thoroughly disciplined regiment, he was almost without exception assigned to the first post of honor, the front in the advance and the rear in the retreat. During the winter of 1863-4, he commanded a brigade at Waldron, Arkansas, a General Steele's Camden expedition he commanded a cavalry brigade, and from May, 1864, until he left the service in January, 1865, he was chief of staff for the frontier division at Fort Smith, Arkansas. While in the army he made himself familiar with the details of the service in all its branches, and he became, as it were, authority upon all matters in the division in which he served, excepting in the medical department, concerning which at all times he disclaimed having any knowledge, although conversant with the regulations for its government. This service gave opportunity for, and brought out, his special characteristic - that of endeavoring to ascertain the reason for the existence of a fact, and never leaving the subject half learned. Near the close of the war General Steele, at Little Rock, commanding the Department and 7th Army Corps, offered him the position of chief of staff, but this was declined for the reason that he believed he could be of more service to the country, and especially to his own regiment, by accepting the same position on the staff of General Thayer, at Fort Smith, commanding the district and frontier divisions, which had been offered to him and which he was strongly urged to accept. At the close of the war he returned again to Lawrence, and engaged in the business of prosecuting claims against the Government, growing out of the war, and in 1868, after a sharp contest was nominated by the Republican party and elected to the office of district judge. He entered upon the duties of this office in January, 1869, and served with such credit, and so much to the satisfaction of the people, that he was re-elected in 1872 with little opposition. In 1876 he declined to run for a third term, although strongly solicited, and though it was generally conceded that he could be successful as a candidate, he chose rather to resume the practice of his profession, and is now engaged in his chosen work. As a judicial officer he maintained an enviable reputation for integrity and impartiality, and ranked high among the judicial officers of the State, and at the organization of the State Judicial Association, in January, 1876, he was chosen as its first presiding officer. He was made a Mason in Belle Point Lodge No. 10, Fort Smith, Arkansas, in December, 1864. He assisted in the organization as junior warden, of Acacia Lodge No. 9, Kansas, in January, 1867, and served as master of that lodge in 1870. In 1867 he was appointed by the grand master one of the custodians of the work, and in 1868 was elected by the Grand Lodge of Kansas to the office of custodian of the work for six years, and was appointed grand lecturer. In 1873 he was elected grand master of Masons for Kansas, and was re-elected in 1874. He was exalted to the degree of royal arch Mason in Bellyue Chapter No. 8, Fort Smith, Arkansas, in January, 1865. He organized Lawrence Chapter No. 4, in 1866, and presided as high priest therein three years. He assisted in the organization of the Grand Chapter of Kansas in 1866, and was its first grand marshal. He was appointed also to the office of grand lecturer, which he held three years. He was elected deputy grand high priest in 1868, and grand high priest in 1869, and re-elected in 1870 and 1871. He passed the circle in Leavenworth Council No. 1, in August, 1866. He organized Lawrence Council No. 4, in 1867, and presided as thrice illustrious master therein two years. He assisted in the organization of the Grand Council of Kansas in 1867 and was elected grand conductor of the work, and in 1878 most illustrious grand master. He was created a Knight Templar in Leavenworth Commandery No. 1, in February, 1868. He organized DeMolay Commandery No. 4, at Lawrence, Kansas, in March, 1868, and presided as eminent commander therein five years. He assisted in the organization of the grand commandery of Kansas in 1868, and was its first grand captain-general. He was elected grand generalissimo in 1869, deputy grand commander in 1874, and grand commander in 1877. He is a prominent member of the society of Free Masons, having a reputation extending beyond the limits of the jurisdiction in which he lives. A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans, by William E. Connelley Owen A. Bassett (1918) Owen A. Bassett was one of the ablest and most energetic actors in the Border troubles, the Civil war and the civil affairs of the Reconstruction period. A Pennsylvanian by birth, his father moved to Illinois in 1837 and two years later to Iowa. The family home was first in Lee County. The son's original intention was to be a civil engineer, but he finally decided in favor of the law, although the stirring and compelling affairs which entered his life prevented him for many years from utilizing the legal training which he acquired. In 1855 he was employed in the United States land office at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, but in the spring of 1856 resigned to engage in busine Lecompton. Soon afterward he entered heartily into the free-state cause, joined the military company known as the Lawrence Stubbs, and was engaged both in the battle of Franklin and the capture of Fort Saunders. Subsequently he held the positions of engineer and quartermaster with the free-state army of Kansas, and in December, 1856, moved to Leavenworth. There he engaged as engineer for the Quindaro Town Company, and in 1857 and 1858 served in the Territorial Legislature. In the latter year he moved to Franklin County, published the Kansas Freeman a few months, returned to Lawrence and was admitted to the bar. At the outbreak of the Civil war he assisted in the organization of the First Kansas Infantry, but later was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the Ninth Kansas, which later became the Second Cavalry, and with which he served until 1865. Colonel Bassett was elected distri judge in 1868 and, by re-election, held that office until 1876. He was a prominent Mason and died at Ellsworth, July 19, 1896. | Bassett, Owen Abbott (I07722)

| 47302 | Toronto Globe, March 30, 2005 Gerard Bessette, Writer, 1920-2005 Novelist whose works were compared to that of Albert Camus twice won the Governor-General's Literary Award By M.J. STONE, Special to The Globe and Mail, Wednesday, March 30, 2005 Montreal -- As the author of nine novels, a collection of short stories and poetry, Gerard BESSETTE was a two-time winner of the Governor-General's Literary Award. Mr. BESSETTE, who retired from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, in 1979, also produced numerous critical works that delved into the psychology of Quebec literature in the 20th century. He may well have examined his own writing, namely Le Libraire. One of his most recognized works, it is an existentialist novel about a book-store employee that takes a harsh look at the cultural conditions of small-town Quebec in the 1950s. Considered a Quiet Revolution classic, Le Libraire is frequently compared with Albert Camus's L'Étranger. Gerard BESSETTE was born in a village on the South Shore of the St. Lawrence near Montreal. In 1944, he graduated from the École normale Jacques-Cartier and was later one of the first scholars to obtain a doctorate in French literature from Université de Montréal in 1950. He began his career as a poet in 1947. His poem Le Coureur was awarded second prize at the Concours littéraires du Québec, and he went on to represent Canada in the poetry section of the 1948 Olympic Games. But his fascination with verse suddenly evaporated. "I quit writing poetry at the age of 25 or so... Then there was a long silence as far as creative writing was concerned. I started again when I was 36 or 37." He liked to describe how language and class informed his writing. "I was still torn, not only on levels of language, but also on levels of society. I was from a lower-class milieu, but because of my studies, I was out of it." His first novel, La Bagarre, exposed the symbiotic relationship at work between those elements he divined within. Eventually, his command of voice and his sense of self as an academic were intensified as a consequence of his prose writing. La Bagarre (1958), Le Libraire (1960) and Les Pédagogues (1961) all explored a similar Quiet Revolution theme of the repressive influences of culture and tradition in Quebec society during the 1950s. Regarding the popularity of Le Libraire and its lead character, Hervé Jodoin, who resembles the anti-hero Mersault in Camus's L'Étranger, Mr. BESSETTE wrote: "I think that in a way he is the forerunner of the revolt among the young. You know at the beginning he has dropped everything. And had trouble with the Catholic church. Then he gets into the book business and again has trouble with the church. And then he throws everything away and mocks the old regime." All of his novels are tinged with rebellion, directly and indirectly challenging the status quo and exploring the role of the individual in relation to the expectations of the culture they inhabit. To Steven URQUHART, a doctoral student at Queen's University, Mr. BESSETTE's work uses a great deal of symbolism that is related to phantasmagorical imagery. "In fact, those who are considered or depicted as monstrous at first are nothing more in reality than human," said Mr. URQUHART, whose doctoral thesis examines grotesque representations and allusions to the notion of monstrosity in Mr. BESSETTE's novels. "The authority figures in his novels end up being the real monsters." Mr. BESSETTE's later style was inspired by the nouveau roman experimental literary form created by French novelists in the 1950s that included Alain Robbe-Grillet and Nathalie Sarraute. Part of the nouveau roman technique is to eliminate character, plot development and authorial subjectivity to present the reality as pure and uncontaminated as possible. Mr. BESSETTE was a devout advocate of the Freudian psychocritique school of criticism developed by the French scholar Charles Mauron. His works of literary analysis include Littérature en ébullition in 1968 and Trois romanciers québécois in 1973. Regarding his exploration of Freudian literary theory, Mr. BESSETTE once said that psychocriticism gives the reader a feeling of power: "You have an impression and/or illusion that you are discovering things that the writer himself did not know. That's a great satisfaction." His writing was influenced by a teaching career that began at the University of Saskatchewan in 1946. He also taught at Duquesne University and Royal Military College Kingston, as well as at Queen's. In 1982, he was an invited professor at Yale. Mr. BESSETTE received the Governor-General's Literary Award for L'Incubation in 1965 and Le Cycle in 1971. He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1966 and, in 1980, was awarded Quebec's Athanase-David Literary Prize. Gerard BESSETTE was born on February 25, 1920, in Ste-Anne-de-Sabrevois, Québec. He died on February 20, 2005, in Kingston, Ontario He is survived by his wife, Irene BAKOWSKI- BORYS. | Bessette, Joseph Gerard (I16380)

Shortly afterward he returned to Collingwood and joined his grandmother in running the family business, Dominion Engineers Supply Company Limited. He headed the company from 1966 until his retirement in 1981. During his career as a Shell Canada 'jobber,' Frandy received numerous sales awards from Shell Canada. Frandy enjoyed flying. In the late 1940s, he obtained his pilot's license flying small airplanes out of Page Field, Fort Myers, Florida and later the 1950s airfield at Stayner, Ontario. He gave up flying after the birth of his daughter but enjoyed many years teaching weather, etc. to Collingwood Air Cadets. He and Marilyn were civilian planespotters for the Royal Canadian Air Force Ground Observer Corps during the Cold War. In 1963-64, Frandy and Marilyn built an A-frame cottage in Muskoka at Go Home Lake (Four Seasons Bay). The water-access cottage was Frandy's weekend refuge for many summers. In his younger years, Frandy was an avid sailor. Childhood summers were spent sailing with his sisters on Barnegat Bay, New Jersey and in Florida. In Canada he sailed with his buddies at Craigleith; and enjoyed racing in the Albacore class sailboat annual regattas at Lake Rosseau. After first learning to snow ski at Collingwood Ski Club in the early 1960s, Frandy joined Alpine Ski Club where he enjoyed skiing with his family until 1981, after which time he became a regular snowbird spending most winters in Florida. Frandy and Marilyn were members of Trinity United Church, Collingwood for forty years before joining the congregation of All Saints' Anglican Church, Collingwood.

As a Collingwood east-ender Frandy attended Connaught Public School until 1936 at which time, with the passing of his father his mother moved the family to Philadelphia then to Florida where he graduated from Fort Myers High school in 1947. Shortly afterward he returned to Collingwood and joined his grandmother in running the family business, Dominion Engineers Supply Company Limited. He headed the company from 1966 until his retirement in 1981. During his career as a Shell Canada 'jobber,' Frandy received numerous sales awards from Shell Canada. Frandy enjoyed flying. In the late 1940s he obtained his pilot's license flying small airplanes out of Page Field Fort Myers Florida and later the 1950s airfield at Stayner, Ontario. He gave up flying after the birth of his daughter but enjoyed many years teaching weather, etc. to Collingwood air cadets. He and Marilyn were civilian `plane-spotters' for the Royal Canadian Air Force Ground Observer Corps during the Cold War. In 1963-64 Frandy and Marilyn built an A-frame cottage in Muskoka at Go Home Lake (Four Seasons Bay). The water-access cottage was Frandy's weekend refuge for many summers. In his younger years Frandy was an avid sailor. Childhood summers were spent sailing with his sisters on Barnegat Bay New Jersey and in Florida. In Canada he sailed with his buddies at Craigleith; and enjoyed racing in the Albacore class sail-boat annual regattas at Lake Rosseau. After first learning to snow ski at Collingwood Ski Club in the early 1960s, Frandy joined Alpine Ski Club where he enjoyed skiing with his family until 1981 after which time he became a regular snow bird spending most winters in Florida. Frandy and Marilyn were members of Trinity United Church, Collingwood for forty years before joining the congregation of All Saints Anglican Church, Collingwood. They lived on Minnesota St for 46 years until, with Marilyn's failing health, they moved one street over to St Paul Street and Callary Cres in June 2000. Marilyn passed away in December 2001. In 2003 Frandy fulfilled his dream of sailing around the world aboard a tramp steamer, aka a working freighter/multipurpose vessel. The passage took four months and the ship was The Bank Line's "Speybank." A year later Frandy sailed throughout the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway aboard "Ziemia Lodzka," an ocean going bulk carrier owned by The Polish Steamship Company. We are deeply indebted to Lynne Abramoff his loving and devoted caregiver and to all the staff of Sunset Manor for their support and patience. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday July 6, 2016 at Fawcett Funeral Home, 82 Pine St. Collingwood, Ontario.

| 47324 | Tragic Devonport Family Echoes of a Tragedy A gravestone for two young girls in the Weston Mill Cemetery, Plymouth, attracted the attention of a visitor because it declared they had been killed in the "Queen Street Disaster". Mrs. Mavis Potts tells me her son came across the stone, which gave the girls' ages as nine and five and said they died in January 23, 1939. But what, asked Mrs. Potts, was the Queen Street Disaster? I have taken a look at the "Western Evening Herald" files of the time and found a tragic story. Here is a summary of the contemporary account taken from the paper published within twelve hours of the event. At the height of the gale early this morning between 1.5 and 1.10 am the wind was blowing at almost hurricane force, when the south wall of No. 45 Queen Street, Devonport, only a few yards from the Dockyard gates at Fore Street, was blown in. As it tottered the top of the house collapsed. On the top floor a family of five named Smale were sleeping and on the second floor were the Bassetts, the father, mother and five children. The Smales were all rescued, along with Mr. and Mrs. Bassett, and three of their children. The two other Bassett children, Beryl, aged seven years, and Barbara, aged eight years, were later found in the debris and taken to the Prince of Wales hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Also taken to the hospital was Mr. G. Smale, aged 45, with head injuries and severe shock; and also injured was another of the Bassett daughters, aged 16. Police and firemen had to remove tons of debris to effect the rescue of the occupants. They were assisted by a naval man, believed to be Leading Seaman Gilmour, of HMS Basiliks, who was passing at the tme of the collapse. He worked like a "Trojan" and slipped quietly away after the bodies of the two little girls had been recovered. Some two months earlier the house adjjoining No. 45 had been pulled down leaving the south wall of No. 45 exposed to the elements. | Bassett, Barbara (I181)

| 47327 | Traverse City Record-Eagle, Michigan, Friday, August 24, 2018 William H. Bassett December 27, 1923 ? August 17, 2018 William Howard Bassett, 94 years old, passed away on Friday, Aug. 17, 2018 surrounded by family and friends at Clark Retirement Community in Grand Rapids. Bill was born Dec. 27, 1923 at home in Ferndale with a birth weight of 13 pounds, 8 ounces. He is believed to be the biggest baby born in the city that year. He was the fourth child born to Gordon and Dora Bassett who went on to have five more children for a total of nine. Times were tough during the depression, but Gordon did carpentry work and Dora had a large garden where the family grew many vegetables and canned enough for their needs. Bill always worked and had many jobs during high school, including delivering ice to customers and building trailers. He graduated from McKenzie High School in 1942. Bill began work with Michigan Bell Telephone Company in that year and worked there until February 1944 when he was drafted for World War II. After basic training in Washington State Bill was selected as a pole climbing instructor because of his skills he learned at Michigan Bell. He was promoted to Corporal and eventually Sergeant when on maneuvers in Louisiana. He was sent overseas in August and landed in France with the fighting 44th Infantry Division Artillery Liaison Group. Bill's troupe would direct fire upon targets from the Big Guns. Bill had four brothers also served overseas in World War II. His brother, Ralph, was killed in action in the skies over Italy. Brothers, Ron, Doug and Gordon fought overseas and survived. The 44th moved across France and into Germany, where Bill received the Bronze Star for bravery under fire by leading his platoon after his captain was killed in action. After VE Day (Victory in Europe), he returned home July 1945 and was training to return to action against Japan when the Japanese surrendered. Bill went back to work at Michigan Bell Telephone Company in August 1945. He married Vivian Hedden in 1952 and built a nice home on Schoolcraft Road in Livonia. Bill had two sons, William H. Jr. in 1956 and Jonathan Neel in 1960. He continued his advancement at Michigan Bell in Ann Arbor as a second line foreman and finally as district plant manager in Detroit. Bill was active in his sons' development as a manager of their baseball teams and as leader of their Indian Guide Troupes. He had the family involved in the Livonia Weekenders Camping Club, where he served as president and participated in camping at least one weekend every month and for two weeks in the summer. Both he and Vivian instilled in the boys a love of nature through their many camp outs and camping trips over the years. As a family they traveled to over 30 states and Canada. Bill also worked as a group leader by mentoring high school students in business through the Junior Achievement program. Bill was an avid roller hockey player in his early years and became a good golfer, winning many trophies in club tournaments. He also was an active member in the Elks Club. When Bill retired after 39 years at Michigan Bell, he and Vivian wintered in Florida. He purchased a cottage on Lake Placid near Kalkaska and eventually sold that and bought an old house on Lake Leelanau. He put a large addition on this old house to complete his beautiful home. He was known as a very hard worker and had many skills. Family was very important to Bill and he took pride in hosting the annual Bassett reunion for over 30 years often drawing 50-plus relatives. "Pops" was known for his quick wit and his great sense of humor. Bill was very generous in friends and family. He started college scholarship programs at Schoolcraft College in Livonia and at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. These scholarships provide four to six students per year with financial support of $500 to $1,000 annually. Bill lost his previous wife, Vivian, in 1999. He married Vivian Scranton Bassett, of Traverse City, in 2000. They lived in Traverse City for a few years and then at Clark Retirement Home in Grand Rapids since 2005. Bill is survived by Vivian Scranton Bassett; brother, Ronald Bassett; sons, William H. Bassett Jr. (Laurie) and Jonathan Bassett (Cheryl); grandson, Wesley Bassett (Chelsea); granddaughters, Patricia Bassett, Katie Bassett Faipler (Jason) and Sarah Bassett; great-granddaughter, Adelyn Bassett; and twin great-grandsons, Huxley and Cohen. He was preceded in death by his parents, Gordon and Dora Bassett; sisters, Allie and May; brothers, Jack, Ralph, Gordon, Doug and Bobby; first wife, Vivian Hedden Bassett; and grandson, Landon Bassett.

| 47329 | Traverse City Record-Eagle, Michigan, Thursday, June 14, 2018 Landon Neel Bassett Landon Neel Bassett, 37 years old, from San Carlos, California, passed away at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 9, 2018, surrounded by family and close friends at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center after a valiant five month struggle with adrenal cancer. He faced his diagnosis like he did all of his life, with strength, realism, and a healthy dose of humor. He truly made us all stronger as we watched him face his biggest challenge. Landon was born May 7, 1981 in Traverse City to parents, William H. Bassett Jr. and Laurie L. (McVicker) Bassett. Always ahead of his time, he was starting to crawl at 3 months old, walking at 8 months and skiing at 3-1/2 years old. From there his adventures took off! The son of teachers, Landon grew up camping and traveling the United States, having traveled to 48 states before high school graduation. He loved attending climbing schools and summer ski race camps. Landon was always exploring, very active and just generally curious about what life had to offer. A very smart, capable student who participated on Olympic of the Mind teams, school was simply a means to an end, much to the frustration of his teachers and parents. As a creative child, he would just rather be doing other things. He was able to take many college classes while in high school. He graduated from Elk Rapids High School in 1999 with honors and participated on the ski and tennis teams. Skiing was one of his greatest passions, and he would ski all day long at a young age without anyone along at his local favorite, Holiday Hills. His parents encouraged him to consider racing. But competition was never his thing, he just skied for fun and the thrill. He did however go on to ski race, starting at age 6 through high school as a member of the Central United Ski Association (Cussa). He was a standout in skiing and led his high school team to the state finals all four years of high school. He was an All State selection his senior year. Upon graduation, Landon selected the University of Utah, he claimed, because of their excellent business school. But we all knew, he was going to major in extreme skiing, mountain biking and climbing! He joined The Phi - Delta - Theta fraternity (although he was not your typical frat boy) because it consisted of all the best skiers, climbers and bikers. This ended up being a great choice, as he made many quality, lifelong friends. He graduated from the "U" with a degree in marketing. After graduating from college he was a marketer for Red Bull, of which he was able to supply Olympic athletes with Red Bull during the 2002 Olympics on his campus. He also worked at Wilderness Exchange before landing a job with Factory Labs, a hip marketing firm in Denver. Factory Labs sent him as the representative to California to try and nab The North Face as a client. Landon, with his conviction and confidence, was successful at recruiting TNF. He left an impression with The North Face staff and was asked to return and interview for an open position with 1,000 other applicants. He was hired in 2010, and the rest is history. He moved up quickly and before his death was recently promoted as one of the youngest directors at TNF as the creative director of content, which included all videos, social media, commercials and website. His special love was working with the 50-plus North Face athletes to coordinate extreme expeditions and the filming and production of commercials. These expeditions took Landon to many locales around the world, including the base camp of Mount Everest with the Mayo Clinic to study how high altitude affected climbers. Landon truly lived The North Face motto of "Never Stop Exploring." Landon challenged himself both physically and intellectually. He conquered 15 of Colorado's peaks by climbing up and skiing down. His CrossFit workouts enabled him to stay reasonably close to many of the professional athletes in skiing, climbing, mountain biking or surfing. Many friends and professionals marveled at his expert skiing ability. His ultimate high was backcountry Snow Cat skiing and heli-skiing multiple times each winter. Many who knew Landon well said his thinking was like no other person they have ever met. He read voraciously and could debate politics, philosophy, religion, cultural trends or fashion with the "best of them." As an intellectual, Landon loved challenging others to think outside the box and to be honest about what they truly valued instead of following the status quo. When he challenged others to be their best selves, he could be relentless in his approach. He was a true Renaissance Man and always "marched to the beat of a different drum." This uniqueness and unapologetic way of living his life is what endeared him to the many friends who were at his side throughout his last journey. Another passion of his was anything to do with design, and that led him to become an expert photographer, collector of fine threads and art. He was widely known for his impeccable style and as a "cultured Mountain Man." His true love was sharing his life with his soul mate, Lindsay "Sweeb" Kennedy. They had an abiding love like no other, while sharing the same interests, zest for life and embracing the California lifestyle. Most weekends they could be found surfing, mountain biking or trail running with their friends. They both loved coming back to the awesomeness of Northern Michigan's summers to hang with his brother, Wes, and parents and to just take in the serenity and beauty of boating on some of the best lakes in the world. Landon lived more life in 37 years than most do in 90. He was truly one of a kind, a unique personality whose gift to us all was the importance of living life to the fullest as your true authentic self. He certainly embodied that and had no regrets. His impact on so many lives for his strength, intelligence, humor and authenticity will live on forever, and he will be greatly missed by all whose lives were touched by him. His loss is crushing to our family, but we are uplifted by the love and support of extended family, our friends and his wide circle of good friends. Our countless family trips of exploring the country together will be forever etched in our memories. We love you so much, Lanny B., Lan, The Don, for the man you had become and were always so proud of you. We are at peace knowing you lived life exactly how you wanted and on your own terms. He is survived by the love of his life, Lindsay Kennedy; his parents, Laurie and Bill Bassett; brother, Wesley Bassett (Chelsea), and his great source of pride; his niece, Addy; nephew twins, Cohen and Huxley; his paternal grandfather, William H. Bassett Sr.; maternal grandmother, Louise McVicker; uncles, Jim McVicker (Janet), Scott McVicker (Sherry), Andy McVicker, Max McVicker and Jon Bassett (Cheryl); many cousins; and countless friends who were there with him to the end. Landon was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Vivian Bassett; maternal grandfather, James McVicker Sr.; and his aunt, Becky (McVicker) Mouch. Landon has been cremated per his wishes. A celebration of his life will be held in San Carlos, California, on June 23, and in Elk Rapids on Sept. 1 at 3 p.m. at the Elk Rapids Memorial Harbor Pavilion. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to his CaringBridge site which will be forwarded to National Public Radio, Protect our Winters or University of Michigan's Adrenal Cancer Center.

| 47341 | Tressa Davis Bass April 27, 1913 to March 9, 2004 March 13, 2004 Eulogy by Everett Davis, nephew that she raised as her own son following her parents death. Today we are gathered here to celebrate the life of Tressa Davis Bass. Many here have the privilege of knowing her for years in many varying types of relationships. Some of us may know her as Mom, Mother-in-Law, Grandmother, Great-GrandMother, Aunt, Great-Aunt, Sister-in-Law, Neighbor, long time friend, and the list goes on and on. In the 90 years of her presence with us, she bestowed the best she had to offer to everyone she encountered. All who know her know of her deep and abiding trust in Jesus Christ because she shares it with everyone she meets. That is nothing new for her. Several years ago quite unexpectedly in a conversation with another saint of God at church I related that my family came from Quanah, Texas. This lady explained that she and her late husband were ministers in Quanah before coming to West Texas about 65 years earlier, when they began founding and establishing churches across the area. The lady asked if I was related to the JC Davis family there. I replied that I was his grand-son. She became quite excited. She knew my father, and indeed, the whole family. She asked about everyone, and finally about Aunt Tressa. When I told her that Aunt Tressa had raised me from a small child, her eyes sparkled. She told me of her friendship with Aunt Tressa as they had known each other in their teens through the time she and her husband pastored her church in Quanah. When I told her Aunt Tressa was in Lubbock, she was ecstatic. She went on to relate and remember their deep Christian friendship decades earlier. Afterwards, she and Aunt Tressa visited a number of times remembering wonderful experiences they shared in Christ, over 70 years ago, and catching up on a life-time of experiences in-between. I remember literally thousands of things that over the years we have shared. I remember as a very young child somehow knowing the words to virtually all the verses of just about any hymn you would find in the church hymnals. Aunt Tressa loves to sing. As a child at her apron strings, I was there as her songs filled the atmosphere around her. She would open the kitchen window and her voice of praise and worship filled the neighborhood. If she were outside hanging the laundry on the clothes line, standing at the sink, ironing clothes, cleaning the bathroom, cooking, or whatever.... there was a song in her heart. When I was a boy here, attending school, I would walk home and I would hear her singing several houses before I reached home. Many of you remember as well..... Whether it was There's Power in the Blood, The Old Rugged Cross, I Saw the Light, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Amazing Grace, A Mansion Just over the Hilltop, I'll Fly Away, Blessed Assurance, What a Friend We Have in Jesus, Just as I Am, In the Garden, Nearer My God to Thee, It Is Well with My Soul, The Lords Prayer, How Great Thou Art ..... and hundreds of others throughout the years..... One was always there. What was her favorite..... Hard to say it's not the one on her lips at the moment. Curtis told me that last week she was sitting in her living room, .... Singing to The Lord. That figures.... it's who she is. Aunt Tressa knows, and made sure that I know too, that we are created by God, made in His image, after His likeness. We are created then as eternal beings, just as God is eternal. We will exist forever somewhere, and we by the grace of God, have a choice as to where. I don't have to tell you what her choice is. Her life does it so eloquently. In her 90 years here, I know just from talking with one of her early life friends, she had settled that issue at least 75 years ago in her life.... perhaps even much earlier in her childhood. I know personally in the last 50 years that I have shared with her, she has never wavered in her faith. Were she speaking directly to you now instead of me, she would invite you not to leave this building without making the same decision to serve Christ and accept Him personally. I also invite you to. Perhaps you have noticed that I keep saying she is, not that she was. Last week Tera and my family physically moved out of our old home into a new one. This week Aunt Tressa did that spiritually. I clearly understand what she taught me regarding being absent from the body, means being present with Christ. It's where she is today, and where we all will be someday by the grace of God ...reunited with her. Aunt Tressa is a spiritual giant and a prayer warrior with an indomitable will and faith of iron that now has joined a choir in Heaven. I can almost hear some of the other choir members in the back saying as they hear her voice resound in Heaven; Hey, who's the new kid up front? I too stand before you as a Christian, in no small part to the witness of her life before us, as do many of you already. She is a prayer warrior that knows how to praise God and share her faith with others. Aunt Tressa is more than any Aunt could ever be to me. She is Mom. She raised me, as she helped raise my father before me. She is more to many of you as well. Those of you who know her truly understand what that means. Over the years she has taken in many strays and nourished them back to life and health. Aunt Tressa has never been wealthy, but she is rich beyond her dreams. When she met someone who was in need, she met their need as best she could. If they were hungry, she sat them down at the table and fed them til they were filled. If they were thirsty she offered them some of that instant iced tea that she was famous for. You remember, it was the tea that would almost completely dissolve in water, but stick to the ice cubes.... If the person were ill, she would call and cheer them up, and tell them she had been praying for them. If they were grieving, she would console them with something in the Bible. If the person needed clothing, she would generally find them something that she had put away for such a time. What was it the master said about this type of person? Matthew 25:35 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Yes, she is rich and we all the more, because we have been graced by God with her presence in our lives. Today we celebrate her life and her.... how would she sing it ... her Victory in Jesus I am absolutely certain when my turn comes, and I am about to enter Heaven, while I am just a short distance away, through the open windows in Heaven, I will hear Aunt Tressa singing, and know that I am almost home. | Davis, Tressa (I126)

| 47343 | Tri-City Herald, April 16, 2014 Einan?s Funeral Home Mary Frances Bassett Mary Frances Bassett, 94, passed away on April 11, 2014 in Richland, WA. She was born August 20, 1920 to Edna and John Long in a very rural South King County, area near the now cities of Federal Way and Auburn. Her youth was spent in the woods and meadows of the Pacific Northwest, living in a large farmhouse, complete with woodstove heating. She liked to tell the true story of walking with her siblings to a one-room schoolhouse, being careful to avoid the cougars and black bear that were frequently spotted. Her brother carried a shotgun to protect them all. Mary attended Pacific Lutheran University and University of Washington, graduating with a BA teaching degree. She earned her master's degree later while working. She was praised for her success as a teacher. Almost her entire career was accomplished at Highline School District, outside of the Seattle area. She retired from there in 1980. Mary met the love of her life, Sherrell L. Bassett, just before WWII. They married quickly and spent the entire war in the pacific Beach on the Washington coastline, where Sherrell was stationed performing his Naval duties. Mary kept working as a teacher for all the Navy children. They settled back in Burien, WA after WWII for a few years, and then built a lovely home on the hillside overlooking the Kent valley's Green River farmland to raise their family. Mary never lost the desire to be at the beach so her and our dad built a home at Ocean Shores, WA. She enjoyed many good family and friends gathering, clam digging and beachcombing. A lover of nature, Mary was a bird watcher and gardener. The variety of flowers gracing her yards was beautiful. The birds had a haven in her gardens. She also grew amazing large raspberries. Family waited for her prized raspberry jelly. She also had an eye for antiques and decorated her various homes always with a splash of wonderful old glassware and cozy antique furniture. In later years she moved to a cottage, then an apartment with a great view of South Puget Sound, at Wesley Gardens for retired seniors (Methodist Church owned) in Des Moines, WA. She stayed socially active with quilters club where she had a wonderful circle of friends that cared for each other. She continued to attend the same church as an active member for 40 years and had developed many lifelong friendships with her husband, many who also resided at Wesley Gardens. As her health struggles started and continued it became important to get her nearer to family that could include her easily with holiday events, family outings and birthdays. It gave us ease in watching over her and keeping medical appointments. She lived at Prestige Assisted Care Facility and Rehab for over four years. The community and care she felt there was a blessing. We want to thank all the staff who treated Mary with such compassion and respect. You became a second family to her and us. You are in our hearts. We also want to thank the hospice team and the hospice volunteers. Mom was so comfortable until the end. Your dedicating loving work is another blessing. She is survived by her children, Steven Bassett (Mona), Kathryn Sherwood (Mark) and James Bassett (Kitte). She has seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents; husband; and siblings, Lilly, Johnny, Ester and Blanche. Mary will be missed for her humor, dignity, and attention to family and friends wherever she went. We are comforted that she is in God's welcoming arms now. We appreciate that any memorial donations in her honor be to: Tri-Cities Chaplaincy 1480 Fowler St. Richland, WA 99352 or Des Moines Area Food Bank P.O. Box 98788 Des Moines, WA 98198. Funeral services will be held at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, April 19th at Des Moines United Methodist Church, 22225 9th Avenue South, Des Moines WA 98198. Mary will be entombed with her husband and our dad privately at Washington Memorial Park, Seattle, WA. | Long, Mary Frances (I2705)
