John Bassett of Rose died at his residence in that town December 26th
in the 77th year of his age. He was born in the town of Morse, (Mass) in 1793
and moved into Rose in 1828, making the journey in the winter with a horse and

die the death of the righteous, and may my last end be like his." Thus our
early pioneers are going, "Our fathers, where are they, and the prophets, do
they live forever."
