      June 1886 Evansville Review, Evansville, Wisconsin
      Polly Morse was born at Grafton, Mass. March 28th 1793. When five years of age, she went with her parents to Montpelier, Vermont, and passed her youth there. She was married to Daniel Bassett Dec. 30th, 1818, and remained in Montpelier, much revered and beloved until after her husband's death. In September '77 she came to live with her daughter, Mrs. M. A. Stebbins of Cooksville, Wisconsin, where she has steadily won the affections of all who knew her. She died the death of the righteous June 17, 1886, after having lived a truly Christian life, upheld throughout all trials by great fortitude of character.
      So has the hallowing presence of old age vanished from an other hearthstone and there was light at eventide, the light of a strong and beautiful faith in God.
