Notes for Esther Eliza CRANDALL
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 47, No 39, p 624, Sep. 24, 1891.
In Alfred Center, N. Y., Sept. 13, 1891, Esther, wife of B. S. Bassett, in the 60th year of her age.
For seven years she has been a great sufferer, perhaps more in mind than in body, but paralysis opened the door and let the imprisoned spirit go to its rest. In early life she became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Independence, but on changing her residence to Alfred Center she became a member of that church, with which she remained in fellowship until death. We remember her in health as a most cheerful wife and mother. She has left a husband, six sons, one daughter, three sisters, and a large circle of other relatives. She was brought to Independence for her funeral and burial. J. K.
Notes for Bayless Stocton (Spouse 1)

Bayliss S. Bassett was born in Watson, Delaware Co., N. Y., June 9, 1821, and died of paralysis at his home in Alfred, April 2, 1902.
He was the second of fourteen children born to John C. and Martha St. John Bassett. Of these, twelve grew to maturity, and seven are still living. The eight brothers and sisters, their average age being seventy years, were all present at the Bassett reunion a few months ago.
John and Martha Bassett were converted to the Sabbath, and all but one of their living children are members of a Seventh-day Baptist church, some of them keeping the Sabbath at no small cost. Bayliss was married to Esther Crandall Sept. 23, 1849, and to them were born eight children, seven of whom, with sixteen grandchildren, are still living. After the death of his wife he was married, Dec. 29, 1892, to Mary Reading Green, who survives him.
After moving from Independence in 1866, his home was near Canisteo for ten years, and since then at Alfred. He was baptized and joined the Independence church when about seventeen years old, his membership being transferred late to the First Alfred church. He was a staunch, reliable, loving man, and will be greatly missed.
