Buffalo Evening News, 27 February 1901

Seth C. Bassett of Haverhill, Mass., arrived in Buffalo this morning for the purpose of making arrangements to conduct excursions to the Pan-American Exposition next summer. He reports that many people in Eastern Massachusetts are planning to see the Pan-American, stimulated by the three-fold attraction of the unrivaled fame of the beauty of the Exposition, its nearness to Niagara Falls, and low railroad rates.

The Popular Science News
Boston, February 1, 1893

As will be seen by a notice in another column, Mr. Seth C. Bassett has closed his connection with the Science News, after being associated with the present editor as part proprietor and business manager for the past ten years. It gives us pleasure to acknowledge the value of Mr. Bassett?s services to the paper, the prosperity of which during that time has been largely due to his eminent business ability, while a long and harmonious business association has led to a full appreciation of his many admirable personal characteristics. Mr. Bassett is to enter a large shoe manufacturing firm in Haverhill, Mass., and will take with him the best wishes of all who have had business dealings with him in the past, as well as those of his former associates on the staff of the Science News.




The Story of Essex County, Volume IV
Seth C. Bassett

To hundreds of folk of two generations the name of the late Seth C.
Bassett is held in grateful memory, if only because he introduced a new and
valuable method of enjoying life. A native of Levell, Maine, and from boyhood
familiar with the mountains and valleys, the winters and the summers of
northern New England, he hit upon the idea of trying to get other people to
know and appreciate the winters of the north country. In 1895 he started the
small tourist agency which later was to become so widely known, and he
investigated the advantages of the various places he knew as possible
headquarters for winter sports. He chose Intervale, New Hampshire, as the spot
most suitable, accessible and picturesque. Persuading a few to make up a party
for a winter trip to his base between the mountains, he personally conducted
the group and directed their sports. In this simple fashion was the winter
sports idea born and Intervale made the Mecca of the winter sports lovers,
particularly the girls of Bradford and Abbott academies, the Lasell, Rogers
Hall, and Sargent schools, Radcliffe College, and many other groups whi
annually made their way to Intervale. When Mr. Bassett conducted his first
parties, the stagecoach was the only method of transportation available, which
perhaps made the journey more thrilling than today.
Besides being the pioneer in organizing and developing winter sports,
Seth C. Bassett also established a travel bureau whose scope was the globe. In
Haverhill he also carried on an extensive business in insurance, both of which
activities are now under the management of his wife, Lillian Y. Bassett. At
one time Seth C. Bassett was part owner of the Haverhill "Gazette", the
leading newspaper of the city, and was an important factor in bringing about a
rise in circulation from six hundred to nine thousand. After selling out his
newspaper interests, for a time he was the proprietor of the Boston "Journal
of Chemistry."
Seth C. Bassett died on July 4, 1930, sincerely mourned by the
thousands all over the world with whom he had come in personal contact. He had
contributed to the sum total of the recreative pleasures of life, a mode of
enjoyment that was entirely wholesome and beneficial. This is his true
memorial. In Haverhill he had been a useful and public-spirited citizen who
had won the respect and affection of its citizens. He was a popular figure in
Merrimack Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, and a Knights Templar and was a
member also of the Pentucket Club. Mr. Bassett is survived by his widow,
Lillian Y. (Bassett) Bassett, member of the Haverhill Women's City Club, and
prominent in social, civic and humanitarian circles.

She had a positive influence on her grandchildren, great grandchildren and all the "old neighborhood" kids who ran in and out of her home for several years. When you visited her at her old Nash Blvd. home, you knew you would be eating like a king and enjoy the best desserts EVER. If you had a problem, she would listen without judgement and offer her words of wisdom. She was wonderful, smart, funny, kind, courageous, and caring to say the least. We were blessed beyond measure to have her as our mother. Her family would like to thank Anthology of Stonebridge and Provista Healthcare for taking such good care of her during her illness. She will be missed immeasurably.

3331 Denison Review, 12 Feb 1896, Obituary

We subjoin a concise biography of Mr. N. Richards, who lived for
thirty years in Crawford County and who was faithful Christian and honorable
citizen. The Methodist church edifice was crowded with friends who came to
testify their appreciation and condolence by their presence.
Rev. R. Venting, of the Baptist church, preached an appropriate
discourse. As will be seen Mr. Richard's army record is eminently honorable.
Newton Richards was born near Akron, Ohio, May 31, 1836. He was
educated at Hiram College where he was a classmate of James A. Garfield, who
afterwards became the honored president of the United States. He beca
Christian when 17 years of age, was baptized and united with the church, the
"Disciples of Christ". Came to Winneshike county, Iowa in 1855. Was married in
1859 to Miss Mormetta Webster; in 1862 enlisted in the 38th Iowa infantry. His
wife died of consumption shortly after his enlistment. He served in the army
for three years and for gallant conduct and bravery was, before Vicksburg,
twice promoted in rapid succession. He had been on September 14, 1862 promoted
to 1st Sergeant; but at Vicksburg in the midst of that terrific siege, he was
promoted June 7, 1862 to 2nd lieutenant and scarcely more than a month later,
on the 10th of July following, he was raised to 1st lieutenant which office he
held when honorably discharged from his country's service. He had charge of
the government supplies and was on the general staff.
In 1862, during the month of August, while encamped at Fort Atkinson,
a flag was presented by the ladies to Co. E. 38th Iowa Infantry. Of this flag
now draped upon his casket, Bro. Richards was made by the company the
custodian. Thirty-three years ago he received this emblem of our country, this
tribute to the gallantry of his company, this expression of the esteem of his
comrades into his custody, today it lies upon his bier. Today it is a mute
memento of the years of trial and patriotism; as also a witness of his
faithfulness to devotion; for to no other care would this banner have been
conferred. He came to Crawford county in 1866 and has, with the exception of a
few intervals, been ever since a resident. He soon after united with the
Baptist church of Denison.
He married January 17, 1867, Ellen Bassett Purdy, widow of John Purdy.
Five children were born to them, of which three died in childhood. Two
daughters and a living wife remain to mourn his loss.
He was a faithful church member, a deacon, many times a
superintendant of Sunday school; in Denison, Dow City, South Dakota and
Arion. He was mayor of the town of Arion which he had done perhaps more than
any other one person to establish and benefit.
He died at his home in Arion, February 7th, 1896 being 59 years, 8
months and 7 days old, in full hope and in joyful anticipation of a glorious
immortality.

county, Ohio, December 4, 1845. He served in the late Rebellion in company B,
One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Ohio national guards, and was captured at North
Mountain, Virginia, July 3, 1864. He was marched to Andersonville, where he
was held for a period of five months, suffering all the horrors and cruelties
of that notorious prison. The subject of this sketch, through his industry and
economy, is now the owner of three hundred and fifty acres of valuable land
under a fine state of cultivation. He has also a fine dwelling house and four
large barns. His son is living on a portion of the farm, and occupies a
prominent position in society and in the Methodist Episcopal church.


An Historical Story of the Elihu Phelps Hayes Ashery
(excerpts)

Elihu was very busy the winter of 1838-39 getting his log cabin built
on the cherished 162 acres. On March 28, 1839 he and Mercy Adelia were married
and she became the mistress in the new log cabin on the Ashery farm. Three
little boys were born in the log cabin. Two died in infancy, but Thomas Elihu,
born December 4, 1845, lived, and was loved by all the uncles and aunts, and
they were many, for Sylvester Hayes and Fanny Basset Hayes had 9 children and
Nathaniel and Phoebe Smith Paige had 14. He was not too rugged a little boy,
but eager to go to school. No school bus, then, Alas! He, at 7 years, walked
through the big woods along the fence clear over to the log school house on
the Old State Road, now known as Granview Road. Mrs. Stacia Hessin (who lived
where Mr. Colburn now lives) would call little Tommy to her cabin and make sure
his feet were dry and warm before he went on to school with her three
boys,........

Bassett Will Wed Authoress
Engagement of Cambridge Medical Man, 60 Years Old,
and Miss Grace M. Fiske, 28, Surprise to Their Frien

The announcement of the forthcoming marriage of Edwin Francis Bassett
and Miss Grace Mabel Fiske of Cambridge, whose "intention" paper was taken out
at the City Hall yesterday, was a big surprise to all except a few intimate
friends, who did not know even of their engagement.
Mr. Bassett is a well known medical practitioner. He is 60 years of
age, and was put down as a confirmed bachelor. For about two years he h
lived at 10 Bigelow Street, but previous to that had his office and residence
in an apartment house on Massachusetts Avenue, between Lee and Clinton
Streets. Previous to coming to Cambridge he spent some time in California. He
is a veteran of the civil war.
His companion for many years was his mother and it was common talk
among his acquaintances that it was his intention not to marry as long as she
lived. A few months ago Mrs. Bassett died.
Miss Fiske the intended bride is 28 years of age and is an author and
lecturer as well as an accomplished musician. She is a native of Sale, Or.,
the daughter of Eugene R. and Charlotte Scott Fiske. With her mother she came
to live at Mr. Bassett's and their acquaintance ripened into love. They will
be married tonight.

Mr. Alfred H. Bassett
Pittsfield, Mass.

My dear Sir, enclosed you will find Genealogy of the Bassett family as I have
it up to the year 1841. I regret that I cannot give it to you in better shape,
but have been so busy since I saw you that I could hardly get a moment's time.
I hope before many months to be able to trace out some other branches & to
have it much more complete. You will see by referring back that I am Jo
Henry, who was a son of Francis, who was a son of Lot, who was a son of
Elisha, who was a son of William who was a son of William. Consequently my
nephews can trace their ancestors back seven generations.
My grandfather Lot Bassett was born in Dennis, Mass. Jany 22, 1755. He
was a soldier of the revolution & three years in the service. He purchased a
farm in Ashfield in 1780. He married Deborah Howes of Dennis Jany 31, 1782 and
moved at once to Ashfield with his wife & worldly goods in an ox car
They raised a family of ten children and all lived to the age of
manhood. Three died in the prime of life - the other seven lived to a good old
age & only two of them now living.
His son William lived & died in Hawley. Thomas lived & died in
Plainfield, . My father Francis as well as the other brothers & sisters all
settled in Ashfield, where my father died May 18, 1876. Aged 80 years and 4
days. My mother and her nine children are all living as you will see by
referring to the record. My mother has seventeen grandchildren and four great
grandchildren living.
I think that my grandfather Lot and his brother Elisha (who also lived
and died in Ashfield) were undoubtedly your father's uncles.
While ransacking the garret in my grandfather's old house last summer I
found a Boston paper of the year 1784 with my great grandfather's name "Capt.
Elisha Bassett of Yarmouth" distinctly written upon it.
My sister Julia Ann married Henry S. Ramsey of Ashfield June 25, 1856.
They still reside there and have no children. My brother Francis Jr. married
Cordelia A. Swift of Ashfield June 28, 1849. They have four children and three
grandchildren. The said Cordelia died Nov. 4, 1867. Francis Jr. and his
children all reside in Brooklyn. My sister Mehetabel married Chauncey Bryant
of Greenfield July 8, 1852. They still reside in Greenfield. They have one
child and one grandchild. My sister Orvilla married Joseph Hall of Ashfield
Nov. 18, 1856 and resides in Hartford, Conn. They have one son. John Henry
married Sylvia H. Longley of Hawley Sept.8, 1859. They reside in New York City
and have no children. Emily Celestia married Thomas L. Eldridge of Hawley Oct
30, 1856. They reside in Hawley and have four children. Charles Ralph married
Elvira Rogers of Ballston, NY Sept. 17, 1860. They reside at Watertown, NY and
have five children. Ann Eliza married Levi Ford of Ashfield May 11, 1870. They
reside in Greenfield and have no children. Rosalind Sarah married Raph H. Ramey
of Ashfield in 1868. He died in Boston Oct 30, 1876. She resides in Ashfield
and has two children.
I might go on for hours giving names of my nephews and nieces,
children of your cousins but I fear I have wearied you alread
If I get any information, ancient and interesting, in the future, I
will give it to you.
After you have talked with your father in regard to this I would like
to know from which branch you sprang.

Yours very Tru
John Henry Basse

3344 A Brief Allen Family History

Douglass and Phoebe Conger came to Michigan from Otsego, New York accompanied
by his brother. When near Monroe, Michigan the brother and family went south
to Ohio.

While Douglass and his family came on into Michigan and settled on a farm in
Armada Twp, Macomb Co. Michigan.

Most of their children were born there. Douglass died without ever havi
heard from his brother again.

Hezeakiah the second eldest son, while still in his teens, took over the burden
of caring for the mother and younger children.

After the children were out on their own, the old farm was broken up and
Phoebe went to live with her daughter Harriet at the Sweets Hotel at Sweets
Corner and there she passed away at the age of 78 years and 11 month

Taken as a whole the family was strong and robust, tall of stature, and light
complexioned.

They were ready to lend a hand to anyone in need, were strictly temperate and
always wanted to see fair play.

How excludingly grateful we of this generation should be to have such
wonderful memories of these loved ones to look upon and may each succeeding
generation grow to be better, more capable and more useful in this God's great
family on earth.

Douglass and Phoebe had 10 children: (Roy) Roswell; Sylvester D.; Hezekiah;
Jesse; Alexander C.; Harriet F.; Jesse C.; Darius; Phoebe M. and Clarissa.

3345 A Modern History of New Haven and Eastern New Haven Coun
Volume II (1918)

In the death of Samuel Andrew Bassett, New Haven lost one of its
valued citizens and representative business men, yet one whose nature was not
centered alone upon commercial interests. He found time for the higher things
of life and those interests which have cultural value. He was born in the town
of Seymour, in New Haven county, Connecticut, September 1, 1833, and was a
descendant of an old and prominent New England family. His father, Samu
Bassett, also a native of Connecticut, was a paper manufacturer of what was
then known as Humphreysville, now Seymour, and at that place spent practically
his entire life. He wedded Mary Andrew, who was also a resident of Seymour.
Samuel Andrew Bassett acquired his early education in the Glendenning
Academy at Seymour and afterward attended the William H. Russell Milita
School at New Haven, from which he was graduated. He was first employed in his
father's paper factory and after working there for a few years went to New
Milford, where he became a clerk in the store of A. W. Mygatt. After a brief
period he removed to New Haven and found a position in the shoe store of
Bristol & Hall, shoe manufacturers and dealers. When the business was sold out
to W.B. Fenn, Mr. Bassett remained with the house and when it became known as
the New Haven Shoe Company, he became one of the stock holders and was quite
active in the management of the business. He was associated with the sh
trade for over a half century and was very active in the control and direction
of the store with which he was connected. He was a thoroughgoing business man,
noted for his honorable dealings and his spirit of enterprise. No one ever
questioned the reliability of his methods, for integrity was synonymous with
his name.
Mr. Bassett was much devoted to his home and family. In Christchurch,
on the 24th day of January, 1865, the Rev. Joseph Brewster performed the
wedding ceremony that united the destinies of Samuel Andrew Bassett and Miss
Sophia Phillips, of New Haven, a daughter of Thomas and Sophia (Humphre
Phillips, the former a well known resident of this city. Mrs. Bassett is now
residing on Edgewood avenue and has many friends in New Haven, who know her as
a lady of culture and refined taste, a devoted wife and mother. She w
member of Christ Episcopal church for a number of years, later transferring
her membership to Trinity Episcopal church. By the marriage there were two
children. The daughter, Mary Elizabeth, became the wife of Joseph Leon
Langbank and now resides with her mother. Thomas Andrew was married October
30, 1895, to Natalie Wilson, of Bridgeport, and they became the parents of two
children, John Humphrey Phillips and Sophie Louise Bassett, but the latter
died young. Thomas Andrew Bassett passed away October 6, 190
The death of Samuel A. Bassett occurred at his home on High street in
New Haven, August 1, 1906, when he was approaching the seventy-third milestone
on life's journey. He was a citizen of the highest type, a man of sterling
character and actuated in all that he did by a stalwart Christian spirit. He
held membership, first, in Christ Episcopal church and, later, in Trini
church, of which he was communicant for many years, and he also belonged to
Brooks Club of Trinity church, which was named in honor of Bishop Phill
Brooks. He belonged to Wooster Lodge, A.F & A.M., of New Haven, and also to
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Seymour. In politics he was an ardent
republican but not an office seeker. He was on the contrary a man of domestic
taste, devoted to his home and family and finding his greatest happiness at
his own fireside. He was also a lover of nature and fond of things beautiful.
He enjoyed yachting and fishing, and was a great lover of the arts. He was
also much interested in music, possessed a splendid voice and for many years
was a member of Christ Church Choir. He also belonged to the Mendelsohn and
Gounod Societies, excellent choral organizations of New Haven, and he was one
of the organizers of the Apollo Club, a well known musical male club of New
Haven. He thus did much to further the interests which removed man from the
sordidness that entire concentration upon business often brings and he did
much to further an interest in those lines which uplift the individual and
bring a breadth of thought, interest and purpose. He stood as a high type of
American manhood and chivalry, and his was the nobility of a refined nature
and of Christian character.

3346 A.J. Bassett

A.J. Bassett, president and treasurer of the Grand Crossing Tack
Company, was born in Taunton, Massachusetts, in 1852, and was educated in his
native town. In 1872 he settled in Chicago as agent for the Taunton Tack
Company, and remained in their employ until 1876 when he became connected with
the Chicago Tack Company as commercial manager. This he continued until 1883,
when the Grand Crossing Tack Company was organized, of which he is a co-
partner.

The Iron Age, May 8, 1902
A.J. Bassett

The death of A.J. Bassett, formerly treasurer of the Grand Crossing Tack Company of Chicago, will be deplored by a wide circle of personal and business friends. Mr. Bassett died April 25, after an illness of about two years. He was better known to the trade through his long connection with the Grand Crossing Tack Company than through any other of his business relations. He removed to Chicago about 1870 to assume the duties of Western sales agent for the Taunton Tack Company. Some time afterward he engaged with the Chicago Tack Company, of which his father, Orrin N. Bassett, was proprietor. In connection with the Messrs. Hutchinson, the present proprietors of the Grand Crossing Tack Company, in 1883 he established the business of that now well-known company. They started in a very modest way, manufacturing Tacks and small Nails on a limited scale, and gradually adding to their facilities until in the course of time they developed into manufacturers of Wire Rods, Wire Nails and other Wire products, at the same time continuing their original business of manufacturing Tacks. In the development of this business, Mr. Bassett took a very important part, his thorough knowledge of the Nail trade being of very great value in establishing the commercial relations of the company. His devotion to his duties in the course of time resulted in his health being undermined, and about two years since he was compelled to retire from business activity. Mr. Bassett was a man of charming personality, possessing talents which gave him an exceptionally high social standing, and his enforced retirement from business was accompanied by unusual expressions of regret from those with whom he had come in contact.

3347 Abiram and Ann left New York State for Ohio in 1819 with two yoke of oxen, being on the road four weeks, arriving in Lime Township, Huron County, Ohio, where the family lived a short time, then moved to Milan Township, Erie County, Ohio. Here the family continued to live until 1851.
Abiram served in the New York State militia and received a pension for his service during the War of 1812. This pension approved on xxx shows that he was 74 years old and filed the application at the Wood County Court of Common Pleas. It confirms his marriage to Anna Griffin on 27 December 1818 at Locke. He served under Captain John Ellis, commanded by Colonel Bloom and enrolled in September 1813 (10 Sep 1813) and was honorably discharged at Fort George on 18 Dec 1813. It states, "he was discharged one or two days before the burning of
Buffalo, New York and while he was stationed at Lewiston, New York our troops fired hot shot across at the troops on the other side, and General McClue marched the troops toward Burlington Heights for three days and then marched the troops back again, and General W. H. Harrison came to the Fort and made a speech after the Battle of the Thames." The brief of claim states that their pension was "admitted" on 23 Apr 1872 retroactive to 14 Feb 1871 for $8 per month.
