    Notes 
    • The family left Illinois in 1864 (probably late spring or early summer). The family only got as far as Utah by November when Kate Lillian was born. It would have been too late in the year to go on to California so th
      wintered in Utah and came on to California when roads were passable in 1865. This probably accounts for the confusion in stories about how old Ella was when she came to California. She would have been three when she left Illinois, had her fourth birthday in Utah, and arrived in California in 1865 the year she became 5.

      Death of I.W. Bassett

      It is with a feeling of regret that we chronicle the death of our old time friend, Isaac Wilson Bassett, after a short illness of one week. From the very first, his sickness assumed a serious turn and though some hopes were entertained for his recovery, God willed otherwise and he was called to his final rest last Saturday afternoon at half past two o?clock. Funeral services were held at the late residence of the deceased on Monday morning by the Rev. Harry Perks, who also officiated at the grave. The interment took place in the Hillside cemetery, where the remains were followed by a large concourse of neighbors and friends. Deceased was born in Shelby County, Indiana, November 3, 1835; he emigrated westward in 1863 and settled in Solano County. In October 1877, he moved to this valley, where he has since resided. Mr. Bassett was the father of fifteen children, five daughters and three sons by his first marriage. On April 21, 1878, he was married to Martha J. Stainbrook and seven sons were the result of this union. Of his children, one daughter of the first marriage and two sons of the second marriage preceded him to the grave. He thus leaves to mourn his loss his wife, Martha Bassett, and twelve children. Deceased had a large circle of friends and acquaintances throughout this valley, by all of whom, he was held in high esteem and his death is sincerely regretted by all. To his bereaved and sorrowing wife and children, our sincere sympathy is extended in this, their hour of trial. May they be comforted by the thought that their loved one has reached a haven of rest where pain and sorrow is no more and peace is everlasting. (1:3)
