- Chenango Union, New York, April 9, 1885
Submit Bassett
The following obituary notice we clip from the Winona (Minn.) Republican of April 3d. The subject of this notice was the mother of O.A. Bassett, of this town [Norwich, NY]: Mrs. Submit Bassett died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. O. Wheeler, at 9:30 o'clock this morning, of paralysis of the heart, aged eighty years, three months and twenty days. Deceased was born in Norwich, Chenango county [NY], and resided there until 1867 when she removed to Minnesota. Her husband died in 1866. Since Mrs. Bassett's coming to Minnesota, she has resided with her daughter. Deceased was a consistent member of the Episcopal church, and only a week ago last Sunday sat in her accustomed pew in the church. She was a lady of uniform amiability which had been a marked trait all through her life and made her beloved by all who knew her. Her Christian resignation exemplified this in a beautiful manner, as in speaking of her approaching death she looked upon it as simply "going home." Two sons, Porter B. residing at El Paso, Illinois, and Andrus, residing at the old home at Norwich, and Mrs. O. Wheeler, are the children surviving. The funeral will take place at St. Paul's Episcopal church Monday afternoon at two o'clock.
