| 3553 | Lorain County Reporter, Ohio, Saturday, 14 Sep 1895 Obituary: Betsey Nash Aunt Betsey Nash died at the home of her son Nathan Nash in North Russia last Tuesday morning at two o'clock of old age. She had been ill only a few days and all were surprised to hear of her sudden death. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Berry of Oberlin Wednesday afternoon. The remains were interred in the cemetery here. Oberlin News Lorain County, Ohio, 19 Sep 1895 Mrs. Betsey Bassett Nash Betsey Bassett was born June 23, 1805, in Eaton, Madison county, N.Y. She was the fifth in a family of nine children. She was married to Jared Nash Chili, Monroe county, N.Y. March 3, 1825. After the death of her husband February 14, 1832, she came with her two children, Eleanor and Nathan Ohio, settling on a farm in Russia township in 1835, where she has lived for over sixty years. She had a wonderful memory for one so old, instantly recalling the exact dates of all the births and deaths of those who were in any way related to her, though ever so distantly. Although a great reader, the only books she cared particularly to read were the Bible and Shakespeare After the death of her daughter, Mrs. Godfrey Fowl January 5, 1854, she made a home for her grandson, Charles Fowl, until his marriage, after which she lived alone through the summer months, but spending the winter with her son, where she died, tenderly cared for by those she loved, September 10, 1895, aged 90 years, 2 months and 17 days. Betsey Bassett Nash came of old Puritan stock, being a lineal descendant through her mother, of the Puritan Captain Miles Standish, who came over in the Mayflower in 1620, and also through her father, of Captain William Bassett, who came over in the ship Fortune, in 1621. Her parents having a large family, she did not eat the bread of idleness, but in common with other daughters of the early pioneers, was taught all kinds of work, including the carding, spinning and weaving of woolen and linen cloths. In the olden times, when spinning and weaving was all done by hand, a certain number of skeins or "runs" was a day's work, but so expert was she at the spinning-wheel that she did two days' work in one, regularly, for weeks in succession, and on o occasion did two days' work in one, after she had passed her 60th year. In her youth, girls were not in the habit of running up long dry goods and millinery bills for their papa's to pay, but when they could be spared from home worked out at spinning and weaving, or by the week, wages for girls being two shillings six pence per week. It is a significant fact that out of such small wages she and her sisters bought solid silver teaspoons and tablespoons, which were higher in price then than now. Only one brother survives, Charles Bassett of South Amherst. She leaves one son, seven grandchildren, and four great grandchildren to mourn her loss. | Bassett, Betsey (I04572)

| 3571 | MOFFAT COUNTY, COLORADO, A FEW NOTABLE BURIALS BASSETT FAMILY CEMETERY Bassett, Elbert 1880-1925, outlaw, committed suicide Bassett, Elizabeth 1855-1892, born Elizabeth Chamberlain, married Herbe Bassett in AR in 1878. Bassett, Josephine 1874-1964, daughter of Elizabeth and Herbert, said to have been a sweetheart of MacKnight in 1893. Claimed to have visited Butch Cassidy long after he supposedly died. Bassett, Ann 1878-1956, daughter of Elizabeth and Herbert, leader of Bassett outlaw gang. Willis, Frank 1883-1963, rancher and husband of Ann Bassett. Women Who Won the West By Jonathan Joyce The Colorado-Wyoming frontier was a tough place at the end of the last century. Ruthless cattle barons drove their huge herds onto the smaller spreads and hired gunmen to harass and kill small-time ranchers. A cowpoke might have said it was "no place fer a lady." He would have been wrong. One family of remarkable women held its own - and then some. They were the Bassett women - and neither cattle baron death threats, assassins nor expensive lawyers could drive them off the land. Elizabeth, the mother, gave most of the orders on the family ranch in Brown's Park, Colorado. Her unconventional daughter, Josie, dated Butch Cassidy and outlasted six husbands. Her other daughter, Anne, became known as "the Queen of Brown's Park". They all knew how to ride the range, give orders, run a ranch a shoot with the best of them. When Anne was just 12, she watched Elizabe disarm three gunmen who had just killed one of their ranch hands. Once, when 20 of the Bassett's steers were rustled by a rancher, Elizabeth risked being shot or prosecuted to lead them back herself. Anne and Josie were courageous cowpunchers and beauties as well. During the 1890's, the Bassett ranch became a stopping place on the notorious Outlaw Trail. Bob Parker, alias Butch Cassidy, worked for the Bassetts and courted Josie. But even after he became a train robber, he and his Wild Bunch could count on bed and breakfast at the ranch. As Anne put it, "People of all types came and went. On the whole we kept our noses out of other people business." A few years after Elizabeth's death in 1892, the fights with the cattle barons turned into a range war. The headstrong Josie was involved in a stormy relationship with her first husband, and it was left to Anne, then all of 20 years old, to defend the Bassett turf. She rode the range alone, shooting trespassing steers or herding them into the Green River to drown. The barons labeled her a rustler. Anne was involved in her first romance - with a cowboy named Matt Rash - when events took a deadly turn. Ora Haley, owner of a spread called the Two Bar Ranch, arranged for the paid assassin Tom Horn to investigate the disappearance of cattle. Horn's idea of justice was to establish an alibi and then shoot his suspects in cold blood. Anne and some of her neighbors received anonymous notes that read, "Get out of Brown's Park within 30 days or die." Matt Rash was shot in the back. Isom Dart, a Bassett ranch hand, was killed by rifle fir Terrified ranchers resigned their boundaries and let Two Bar cattle graze their land. Some moved. But Anne stayed on. Two bullets splintered through her door one night, "imbedding themselves in the wall less than six inches from where I had been sitting," she later recalled. Anne killed hundreds of Two Bar cattle, then finally resorted to seductio The Two Bar Ranch depended on "the best damn ranch manager around," Hi Bernard. Anne invited him to her ranch. He had hired Tom Horn and thus aided, at least indirectly, in the murder of Anne's friends. Hi must have wondered, Is it a trap? It was - but a different kind than Hi had in min Anne put on a corset, a pretty dress and perfume. Hi later recalled that she was "curved in all the right places." He proposed, and in that April of 1904, Hi got a wife, and Anne got a ranch manager. The marriage, which ended in divorce in 1910, did much to solidify the Bassett holdings. Hi staked out a homestead next to Anne's property, expanding their joint holdings, and they formed the Bassett-Bernard Cattle Company. Ora Haley got so exasperated he hauled Anne into court for rustling, but his attack backfired when he was tricked into admitting that he had cheated on his taxes. Anne was acquitted. While bands blared, she was carried out of the courtroom. But legal expenses had bled the Bassetts dry. It took some hard ranching to climb back, and Anne and Josie moved to Utah. Anne remarried in 1923. Her new husband, Frank Willis, was a good-natured cowboy who put up with a lot. "Once", he recalled, "she waited for me when I came home drunk, knocked me out and left me until I came to." In 1956, Anne died of a stroke at age 78. Josie bootlegged apricot brandy in her old age, still riding horseback and splitting wood. She died in 1964 at age 90. In their time, the Bassett women were accused of being rustlers, outlaws - even murderers. None of the charges were true. They just possessed qualities some men found - and still find - intimidating, namely self-reliance, courage and the conviction that a woman could do as much as a man - or more - to tame the Wild West. | Miller, Mary Elizabeth Chamberlin (I12564)

| 3573 | Mrs. A.H. Bassett, 2 Aug 1892 At about midnight on Friday last, at her home on Francis avenue, there passed away from this life a true christian mother and friend, Mrs. A.H. Bassett. Naturally of a modest and retiring disposition, her true worth was known only to those whose pleasure it was to become intimately acquainted with her, and with that few the writer of this is happy to be numbered. Her home life was a model one, as all who have spent an hour there can testify. Ever mindful of the welfare of her friends and guests, it was always with regret that you left that happy and hospitable home. In the church in her quiet and retiring way, she was ever doing something to forward its good work. About three years ago she lost her oldest daughter after a long and trying sickness, and through acknowledging th God's way was right and that "He doeth all things well" those who knew her intimately could see that the loss was wearing on her health which was never very strong, although she never complained or shirked a duty. About a month ago a complication of diseases seemed to arise and notwithstanding the most skillful medical aid and untiring watching and care on the part of her faithful husband and family, she continued to grow weaker until at last the summons came. Knowing as we do that she was perfectly prepared to receive it we could not help but feel relief that her sufferings were over and she was at rest. STOCKBRIDGE The news of the death in your city about midnight of Friday, August 2, of Mrs. Carrie P. Warner, the most estimable wife of Alfred H. Bassett, in the 47th year of her age, was received here in Stockbridge by her many relatives and friends with the most profound sorrow. She is survived by her husband, one son and one daughter, another daughter, died a few years since. Three brothers and one sister still reside in Glendale. In this sorrowing home is the venerable father and grandfather (Mr. Isaac Bassett), who passed his 95 birthday last winter. For many long years has grandpapa looked up to his daughter-in-law (the deceased), even as a child does to its own mother, and now the kindest (as it seemed to him in his feebleness) of all his many dear ones has gone never more to come back to him. Oh! how the dear good old grandfather will miss and mourn for her but not for long. | Warner, Caroline Perrine (I05940)

| 3588 | MY LIFE AND TIMES BY DENTON IRL BASSETT Born - September 24, 1898 - Nolan, South Dakota Father - James Fremont Bassett (Youngest of 13 children) Born - May 9, 1859 - Olmstead County, Minnesota Died - May 22, 1939 - Tacoma, Washington Mother - Louie Allretta Stipe Born - October 20, 1872 - James County, Iowa Died - July 12, 1943 - Tacoma, Washington I was born in a sod house in Nolan, South Dakota. I had two sisters at the time - Hazel Dell, born September 2, 1891, and Leah Cornelia, born February 9, 1896. At that time Pa raised cattle with his father-in-law and brother-in-law. Then he bought or rented 360 acres and raised wheat. He bought a thrashing machine. There were too many dry years and he could not make a living. In the Fall of 1901, he built a small house on a wagon. This was pulled by four horses and the family moved close to Lake George, Minnesota, a small place known as Lake John. There was snow on the ground when we arrived. The house a log cabin, 12' square with a dirt floor. It was, or had been, a trapper's shack. Baby Bernie was three weeks old when we left South Dakota and sometime during the trip to Minnesota, he developed pneumonia and died shortly after we arrived. He was buried at Lake John. We moved into an old cook shack in a "Drive Camp" (a place where they drive logs down the river; logs are dumped on ice in the winter and in the spring when the ice melts, logs go down the river to the saw mill). Pa then bought 40 acres one mile from Lake George. He built a log house on one corner of the land, 20' x 24'. There was one big room upstairs, and a bedroom, pantry and living room on the ground floor. There was a trap door in the pantry to a cellar under the house. He thrashed grain in the fall in South Dakota for other farmers to earn a living. The grain was bundled by the farmers and then the thrashing machine would move in. In the winter, he fixed and ran a team engine to run a saw mill. Two more children were born while living in the log house - a girl, Doris, and a boy named Carroll. Neither of the children lived very long. The people of Lake George cleared ground down near the school house and made a cemetery. Bernie's coffin was moved from Lake John after the last baby died and all three were buried in the new cemetery. We lived at Lake George seven years. Pa dragged some logs off a corner in the woods, plowed and we had a garden. Every fall we took the team to Park Rapids, Minnesota to pick up enough supplies to last a year - flour, sugar, lard, salt, pepper, etc. There was a small store at Lake George where occasional supplies were purchased. The rest of the food was grown at home. He shot rabbits in the winter and fished. He had a fish house out on the ice all winter. He cut a hole in the ice to fish through and caught pickerel with a short iron spear with a rope on it. Pa's brother, Henry Walter, was in Seattle with Grant Smith and Company (contractor) installing sewers in Seattle, Washington. In 1908, Henry wanted Pa to come to Seattle to run a donkey engine on the sewer jo Pa sold 40 acres, crated the cook stove and sewing machine. He made three big packing boxes. Our neighbor, Mr. Miller, hauled all our belongings to the train depot in Park Rapids. We left by train, stopped in South Dakota and stayed with Ma's parents for about a week. In Spokane, Washington we stopped to see Pa's brother, Cash, who lived on a farm. Finally, we arrived in Seattle. We stayed about a week with cousin Clifford Bassett who was Cash's son. We rented a house on Fourth Avenue in Green Lake. It was a mode house renting for $18.00 a month. This was too much rent so we moved to Weeden Place. Rent here was only $10.00 a month and had an outside toilet. I started the fourth grade at Green Lake School. In the spring of 1909, we moved to 2nd Avenue, $12,00 a month, another outside toilet. I finished the fourth grade at Green Lake School. During the Fall of 1909, we moved to Crescent Place, $10.00 (more outside plumbing). We lived here all winter and I spent the fifth grade at Fairvew Schoo When school was out the summer of 1909, I carried water on a sewer job, side branch of the big job Pa worked on, but these smaller jobs were dug by hand. Then I went to Ravenna, two miles from home to carry water on a different sewer job. In the Fall of 1910, we moved to 27th avenue, Ravenna. I started school at University Heights. Rent here was $12.00 with outside "Conveniences". The owner wanted the house so we moved, with a wheelbarrow, two houses down the street, rent being the same, $12.00. Now, I had a morning paper route. I picked up the P.I. at 4:30 a.m. at a point where a street car conductor dropped them, made deliveries, went home and had breakfast, then walked 1 1/2 miles to school. In the summer of 1911, I worked on a milk wagon delivering bottled milk for 25 cents a day plus dinner and all the milk I could drin Pa's construction crew was tunneling through a hill from both sides. They had to work in quicksand; worked in compressed air. The compressed air held the walls up. Pa ran the donkey that pulled mud cars out of the tunnel. The company had a store building that had living quarters they used for an office. They moved this building down by the main line railroad and put it on posts on company property. Sometime during this period, Ma and Hazel bought a piano, Hazel paying for most of it. The family moved into this building. We didn't have to pay any rent. had outside plumbing, but we did have electric lights. It was the only place we lived in Seattle that had electric lights. All the other houses had coal oil (kerosene) lamps. In 1911, a Big Ben land agent brought Pa to Buckley to look for acreage. He bought ten acres a mile and a half from Buckley on what is now known as the Munday Loss Road. During the spring of 1912, Pa was sent to Canada as the foreman on a big rock crusher. They were making railroad ballast. Pa stayed until June, 1913. Then he decided to move to Buckley. Pa, Ma and I took the train to Buckley. Pa couldn't find the land. We walked down a logging track to Dick Anderson's house. Dick came back with us to show us where the land was. Since we'd planned on staying a while to clear brush, we had blankets and cooking utensils with us, but left it at the railroad station. We returned to t station in the evening and Ma took the train back to Seattle. We took o camping supplies to an old cook house that had been used for a logging camp that had been located by some old railroad tracks. The tracks went across one corner of ten acres. We cleaned the cook house, stayed a week clearing brush, then returned to Seattle. Pa bought two cows in Seattle. Pa told the railroad we wanted a box car. It was set on a siding close to the house and we loaded the furniture in one end and the two cows in the other end. Pa rode in the box car to take care of the cows on the move to Buckley. Hazel was worki Seattle and she stayed there. She had completed a shorthand and typing course at Wilson's Business College and worked as a secretary for Loman & Hanford. Ma, Lee and I took the train to Buckley. Northern Pacific set the box car off on a logging track by the old valley mill site (the mill had burned). We unloaded the cows, walked them out to the pipeline road and staked them out. That evening a logging engine moved the box car out and set it close to the old cook house. Dick Anderson helped move everything from the box car to the old cook house, all but the piano. They rolled the box car to Ted Larsen's house and off loaded the piano there because the cook house was too damp. A logging engine took the box car back to the old valley mill site and Northern Pacific picked it up. I don't remember what it cost to rent the box ca Pa wasn't working at an outside job so we cut and burned brush. I had saved $100.00 from my paper route and hauling water during the summers and Pa took this. He got a push car, went to the Old Valley Mill and bought some timbers for a foundation for a house. He hired a man with a team to go to Enumclaw to buy lumber. We built a house 10' x 26'. There was no sub-floor. We put the walls up and the roof on. Leah started high school. Since I had to help build the house, I could not start school. In October, Ma left. Pa drank continually and was mean to her. Pa was in Enumclaw getting lumber, Leah was in school. Ma told us in the morning she was going to leave. While I was working on the house, she took a suitcase and either walked to South Prairie or Enumclaw and took the train to Seattle to her parents' home. They had moved to Kirkland from South Dakota in 1912 and bought a ten acre farm. Ma went to work for $20.00 a month as housekeeper to an elderly woman whose son was a doctor and lived with he Ma and Pa were divorced in 1928. (Paper continues.

| 3590 | National Cyclopedia of American Biography Picture included BASSETTE, Roy Donald, architect, was born in New Britain, Conn., Jan. 10, 1883, son of Frederick Henry and Margaret (Anderson) Bassette. His first paternal American ancestor, William Bassett, came to this country from England in 1621, settled first in Plymouth, Mass., and was later a resident of Duxbury, Mass., and an original proprietor of Bridgewater, Mass. From him and his wife, Elizabeth, the descent was through Joseph and Mary Lapham, William and Sarah Sweetland, William and Mary Crossman, William and Lydia Fisher, and Nathan and Mehitable Buell, the grandparents of Roy D. Bassette. His father was a factory worker. The son attended New Britain public schools and completed his studies in architecture at the University of Pennsylvania in 1908. Meanwhile, after his high-school graduation in 1901, he did drawings and art work for the F.A. Bassetts Co., Springfield, Mass., a printing business founded and owned by his brother. During 1908-10 he taught drawing and the elements of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1910 he established an architectural practice in Springfield, Mass. Two years later he moved to Hartford, Conn. and from 1912 to 1942 he practiced in that city with H. Hillard Smith in the architectural firm of Smith-Bassette. After Smith's retirement in 1942, Bassette continued his architectural practice independently until his own retirement in 1954. Among public buildings designed by the Smith-Bassette firm were the Hartford County Courthouse, the Connecticut State Office Building, the Steiger Building, and Woolverton Hall for the YWCA, all in Hartford, the Lucy Robbins Welles Library in Newington, Conn., the Glastonbury (Conn.) Library, the Longmeadow (Mass.) Library, and the town hall and library in Clinton, Conn., and the partners were also architects for hundreds of private residences in Hartford, West Hartford, and the Glen Arden development in Longmeadow. While in independent practice Bassette was architect for St. Ann's Memorial Hall and an addition to t Hartford Fire Insurance Co. building, both in Hartford, the athletic building for Wilbraham (Mass.) Academy, the Wickham Memorial Library in East Hartford, and numerous other buildings in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Among private homes which he designed were the Alice Dunham, Alice Fuller, George Sage, and the Ingersol residences in Hartford, and the Philip Stanley family homes in New Britain, Fenwick and Watch Hill. One of his last designs was that for the Eno Memorial Hall, the municipal building in Simsbury, Conn., for which Mrs. Charles Boughton Wood donated the funds as a memorial to her father, Amos Eno, who was the architect for the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the first building in New York City equipped with an elevator, and Bassette's great-uncle. For ma years prior to 1964 Bassette was a member of the Connecticut State Commission of Fine Arts, and he was also for a long period before his death a trustee of the Ella Burr McManus Fund as well as of the Henry Whitfield Historical Museum, Guilford, Conn. In 1916 he was a member of Troop B, U.S. Cavalry, and served on the Mexican border. He was a member of the Connecticut Society of Architects, the Beta Theta Pi Club of Philadelphia, the Wadsworth Museum in Hartford, Hartford Historical Society, and the Hartford Golf Club. His religious affiliation was with the South Congregational Church in Hartford. Politically he was a Republican. Woodcarving was his principal leisure-time interest, and he hand-carved sixty-five mirror frames, which were excellent reproductions of Early American and French masterpieces. He was married in West Hartford, Conn., Jan. 19, 1914, to Elizabeth Fidelia, daughter of George Watson Hubbard of Hartford, and insurance executive, and had three sons: John Hubbard, George Henry, and Roy Donald.

| 3591 | New York Times, February 25, 1921 Hartford Banker Commits Suicide William B. Bassett, Asked to Resign From Phoenix Bank, Shoots Himself KEPT TROUBLE FROM WIFE President Had Charged His Private Life Unfitted Him to Remain in the Bank Special to The New York Times HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 24 - William B. Bassett, Vice President of the Phoenix National Bank, one of the biggest in New England, committed suicide today by shooting himself in the right temple at his home on Kenyon Street. His act is attributed to President Leon P. Broadhurt's request for Mr. Bassett's resignation yesterday afternoon, when he charged the Vice President with "conduct unbecoming an officer of the bank." Mr. Bassett presented his resignation, which was to have been placed before the Directors of the bank this noon. About 8 o'clock this morning Mrs. Bassett went to the bathroom while Mr. Bassett was apparently sound asleep. She closed the door from the bedroom to the hall and from the hall to the bathroom. When she returned she found her husband lying in bed with his right hand holding a revolver and with a bullet wound in his temple. For two hours yesterday afternoon Mr. Broadhurst and Mr. Bassett talked over the matter of the latter's resignation in the Directors' room of the bank, the conference ending in Mr. Bassett being asked to resign. M Bassett then went to his desk in the bank and it is believed he took from it the revolver with which he ended his life this morning. "Had I suspected that Mr. Bassett had intentions of taking the revolver I surely would have arranged to prevent it," Mr. Broadhurst said. "Although there was a scene in the Directors' room and Mr. Bassett broke down completely when he learned that nothing short of his resignation wou satisfactory under the circumstances, it could not be foreseen that it was a case of despair that would drive him to take his life." In commenting on the situation that led him to ask for Mr. Bassett's resignation, Mr. Broadhurst said: "Mr. Bassett's private life has been on my mind for a long period, and throughout this period my constant first thought has been 'is everything all right at the bank?' As late as Washington's birthday the auditors and the officers, other than Mr. Bassett, went through the securities and other affairs of the bank, and to our best knowledge and belief there has been no tampering with the bank's funds." Mr. Bassett made no complaint of unfair treatment in any way, M Broadhurst said, but the realization that he must step out seemed to affect him deeply. After Mr. Bassett left the bank yesterday he went to his home and, his wife says, he appeared to be in an especially cheerful state of mind. After dinner friends called and played cards with Mr. and Mrs. Bassett. Mrs. Bassett had not received even a hint that Mr. Bassett's resignation had been demanded. Mr. Bassett was considerably in debt, but the latter part of January arrangements were made to take care of his obligations, aside from small bills which he had contracted about town. Mr. Bassett was born in Hartford Aug. 16, 1879. He began his ba experience with the State Bank, but on Sept. 14, 1896, went to the Phoenix National Bank. He was appointed discount clerk in 1903, teller in 1904, assistant cashier in 1907 and cashier in 1913. He has represented the Republicans of the Tenth Ward in the Common Council and in the Board of Alderman and served on the Board of Finance. In May, 1916, he was appointed to the Police Board by Mayor Haggarty and was reappointed in 1919 by Mayor Kinsella. His term was to have expired in 1922. For three years he had been President of the board. He was local Fuel Administrator during the war. Mr. Bassett was a member of the Hartford Club, the Hartford Golf Club, the Choral Club of Hartford, the Republican Club, the Washington Commandery, Knights Templar, and Sphinx Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Bertha W. Messenger, and two childre Ruth, about 12 years old, who is at a school in New Jersey, and a little girl 2 1/2 years old. William Burgis BASSETT, Banker, Financier From Encyclopedia of Biography One of the successful and progressive business men of Hartford, Connecticut, is William Burgis Bassett, vice-president and cashier of t Phoenix National Bank of that city, and a prominent figure in the financial world there. William Burgis Bassett received his education in the public schools of Hartford, and was graduated from the high school there in 1897. He at once entered the employ of the State Bank & Trust Company, where he remained for about six months, and then came to the Phoenix National Bank in the humble capacity of messenger, thus beginning the long association which is continuing today. His willingness and aptness in the discharge of his duties drew to him the favorable regard of his employers, and he rapidly rose in rank, having held up to the present time all the positions in the bank up to that of vice- president. Mr. Bassett enjoys the distinction of being the youngest vice- president in a national bank in the State of Connecticut. What is implied in this statement is greatly emphasized by the fact the Phoenix National Bank is the largest bank in the State. Mr. Bassett is very active in all the departments of the community's life, and takes a leading part in many of them. He served six years as a member of the Court of Common Council and Board of Aldermen, and was appointed in April, 1916, a member of the Board of Police Commissioners. He is a prominent figure in social and fraternal circles, and is affiliated with St. John's Lodge, No. 4, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Pythagoras Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Wolcott Council, Royal and Select Masters; Washington Commandery, Knights Templar; Sphinx Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. For some years Mr. Bassett was a member of the old Hartford Military Order, known as the Governor's Foot Guard, and when he resigned held the rank of sergeant. He is at the present time a member of the Veteran Corps. He is also a member of the Hartford Club, of which he is now treasurer, and the Hartford Golf Club. Mr. Bassett married, February 16, 1904, at Hartford, Bertha Messinger, daughter of William C. Messinger, a native of Hartford, born Septemb 1891. They are the parents of one daughter, Ruth, born January 6, 1909. Mr. Bassett is a member of the Farmington Avenue Congregational Church, while Mrs. Bassett attends the Trinity Episcopal Church of Hartford. | Bassett, William Burgis (I14359)
