Obituary, Mrs. Mary Taylor Bassett
Mrs. Mary Taylor Bassett died at her home on Church street, Wednesday, p.m., aged 90 years. She was born in Hartwick, N.Y., August 5th, 1829, the daughter of Chandler and Palmyra (Peters) Taylor.
In 1855 she married the Rev. Edward B. Bassett and with him shared the toil and hardships of service in Congregational Home Missionary churches in New England, until 1881, when they came to Cooperstown and bought the Hollister house on Church street, where Mr. Bassett died the following year.
Mrs. Bassett was a very loyal Christian and always ready to stand for the right as she was the right, with all the fortitude of her puritan ancestry. She is survived by one daughter, Miss Ella Bassett.
The funeral will be held Wednesday from the home, with her four grand nephews acting as pall bearers. It is requested that no flowers be sent. The service will be conducted by their pastor, the Rev. E.S. Petrie and Dr. J.G. Traver of Hartwick Seminary with interment at Lakewood cemetery.
