She was united in marriage to Wm. Bassett November 14, 1905. Their home was in Cantril until a few months ago.

When Mrs. Bassett was a girl she was united with the Baptist church. On moving to Cantril she joined the Home Prairie M. E. Church, afterward transferring her membership to the Cantril M. E. Church.
