History of Adams County, Iowa (1984)
Earnest Earl Bassett, son of Samuel and Jennie Clark Bassett, was born at Ely, Iowa on February 14, 1887. He lived at Ely and Lowein, Iowa, coming to Adams County with his parents at the age of 15, where he made his home for 49 years.
Earl was united in marriage to Flora Mabel Deere (daughter of William and Anna Prickett Deere) on march 24, 1909 at Mt. Etna, Iowa. Flora was born in Mt. Etna on April 26, 1889 and spent all of her life in and around Corning, receiving her education in Adams County. She attended the Corning Academy and taught in the public schools for several years. She was a 60 year member of the Methodist Church and a charter member of the United Methodist Women.
Earl worked in Corning and was manager of Tyler Brothers Produce. In 1925, they moved to the Bassett farm east of Corning (formerly the Icarian Colony). The family moved into Corning in 1931 where Earl worked for the Farm Service Co-op driving a bulk truck. He was a member of the Methodist Church in which he and his wife took an active part.
To this union two children were born: Merrill Clark (born March 11,1912) Marietta Esther, (born September 28, 1916).
On April 6, 1951, Earl passed away. His wife followed him in death on May 5, 1975, and was laid to rest beside her husband in Walnut Grove Cemetery. Their son, Merrill, preceded his mother in death. Surviving are a daughter, Maretta Van Pelt, and four grandchildren, Dean Bassett, Ronald Bassett, Brenda Rath and Douglas Van Pelt. There are five
great-grandchildren.
