    • OBITUARY OF MRS. G.D. BASSETT

      After only three days of sickness, Mrs. Hester Ann Bassett died at her
      residence one mile south of Bricelyn at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, March 8,
      1910 of stomach trouble and heart failure, aged 64 years lacking five days.
      The funeral services were 1 o'clock at the Baptist Church in Bricelyn, Rev.
      I.H. Darnell officiating. Interment was made in the Clayton cemeter
      Hester Ann Salley was born April 13, 1846 in Kenneback county, Maine.
      When she was but three weeks old her parents removed to Dodge County,
      Wisconsin, making the trip from Buffalo to Milwaukee by way of the great lakes
      and traveling by ox team to Dodge County. When she was eight years old, her
      parents settled in Olmstead County, Minnesota, where she grew up to womanhood.
      At the age of 19 she was united in marriage to G.D. Bassett of the same place,
      they having been school mates from childhood. The marriage took place March
      31, 1865. On July 17, 1867, they arrived in Faribault county, and settled on a
      homestead in Seely township where they have continually resided. She was the
      mother of seven children, as follows: Mrs. Lettie Olson, Bricelyn,; Mrs. Effie
      Gifford, Fallon, Montana; Mrs. Dora Gibson, Palms, Mich., Mrs. Hettie Jones,
      Balaton, Minn.; Mrs. Bertha Rendall, Prescott, township and Mrs. Georgia
      Trembel of Waukegan, Ill. Besides her husband and children she leaves four
      sister and two brothers to mourn her death. At the age of 20 years, Mrs.
      Bassett united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in which faith she passes
      to the beyond.
      Mrs. Bassett, to use a homely expression, was a home body. She was not
      only a kind and indulgent wife and mother but was always relied upon for a
      helping hand by her neighbors in time of sickness and need and Aunt Hester as
      she was usually called never disappointed. She was a good woman and will be
      greatly missed, not only by her relatives but by a host of friends.
