Mr. Bassett was on his way Monday forenoon with C. C. Spangler to work on a barn in West Blue township that they had in course of construction and when about two miles south of Fairmont he was seized with the attack of apoplexy. He was carried into the house of E. Milner, and although life was even then extinct a physician was summoned from Fairmont but there was nothing for him to do.

In 1870 Mr. Bassett settled in what is now Fillmore county. He was one of the county's first commissioners, he helped organize the county and to lay out the site of the city of Geneva. For eleven years he lived on Turkey creek east of Geneva and for the last seventeen years has resided in Geneva. In the early days his home was headquarters for the newly arrived settlers and he always retained the regard and esteem of the old settlers who knew him first and best.
Mr. Bassett was a member of the Geneva Grand Army post and the Knights of Pythias. He had recently been elected prelate of the latter order, a position he had filled for a number of years.
The only surviving members of the family are Mrs. Bassett and an adopted daughter, Mrs. C. A. Thorpe.
The funeral will be delayed until this afternoon to allow Mrs. Thorpe to reach here from San Francisco. It will take place at 2 o'clock from the Congregational church Rev. Thomas Griffiths officiating. The Knights of Pythias will have charge of the funeral and the interment in the Geneva cemetery. ~ From findagrave member #47078678
