  Notes	Wabash Plain Dealer, January 24, 1906 Captain Thomas Bassett, Formerly of Versailles Died in Peoria, Ill. Saturday Morning. Captain Thomas Bassett, a veteran of both the Mexican and civil wars, died Saturday morning at 8 o?clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Connard, xxxx North Madison avenue, Peoria, Ill., after an illness of several months. Death was due to a complication of diseases contracted while in the services of his country. Captain Bassett was a member of one of the most patriotic families in the United States, which has furnished many soldiers for the various conflicts in which the country has been engaged. The grandfather of Captain Bassett was a soldier in the Revolution under George Washington, his father a soldier of the war of 1812, he of both the Mexican and civil wars, and his two sons, Robert and John, both serving in the Philippines. Captain Bassett went to Peoria from Versailles only last March, Indiana being his home state. During his short resident in Peoria he became acquainted with the few remaining soldiers of the Mexican war and enjoyed their associations. He enlisted for service on the southwestern frontier in the Mexican war as a private in the Fourth Indiana regiment, and in the civil war was a captain in the Ninth battalion. He is survived by his wife and the following children: Mrs. Arthur Beck, Mrs. Frank Connard, Robert and Fred Bassett, all of Peoria, and Mrs. Belle Roberts, of Minneapolis. The funeral services were held at two o?clock, Monday afternoon, at 1019 North Madison avenue, in charge of the W.R.C. The interment was made in Springdale cemetery, Peoria.
