Mrs. Cornelia Sophia Bassett died at
the family residence in Toledo, Ohio,
at two O'Clock Thursday morning,
April II, 1879, of congestion of the
heart and lungs, aged So years, IL
months and 20 days.
Mrs. Bassett was born in Rootstown,
Portage County, Ohio, April 81, 1925 !;
was sister of Mrs. Horace B. Camp,
of Cleveland, and daughter of the late
Abraham and Sarah Olmstead, who
came from Milford, Conn. and settled
in Rootstown, in May, 1922. August
16, lS43, she was married to Edward
p. Baasett, who studied law with Judge
Day, and was admitted to the bar in
Ravenna, at the October Term, 1S45.
Mrs. Bassett was the mother of five
children, viz: Francis D., born May
%, 1S45, died July q, the same year
Edward A., born March q, 1S4S; Louis
E., born November 10, 1851 Charles
O., born July 16, 1856; Cornelia Sarah,
born December 5, 1868.
Mrs. Basset leaves a devoted hus-
band, four children and three grand
children to mourn their irreparable
loss. From the time of their marriage
to 1S47, Mr.. and Mrs. Bassett resided in
Ravenna. Since then their home has
been in Toledo. Mrs. Bassett in many
respects, was a model woman; she
possessed in a conspicuous degree ma
tive strength and clearness of mind,
dignified and attractive in person, easy
and engaging in manners, intelligent
in conversation, a central attraction in
the social circle where she moved, and
a charm in the household where she
presided. She was domestic in her
nature, and to her home was the most
endearing place on earth. Like the
pure and noble Cornelia, the mother
of the Gracchi, if called upon to dis
play her brightest jewels, she could
present her children, nursed and in
structed by her own hands. She was
decided in her convictions and ener-
getic in practicing them. Modest in
adopting her own methods of useful
ness, she had happy faculty in win
ming the esteem and confidence of all.
Her memory will long linger in sweet
perfume in the community where she
lived. She has gone, but the story OF
her life as daughter, sister, wife moth
er, friend, presents beautiful picture,
which will neither fade or be forgotten.
The funeral obsequies took place at
the family residence on the 10th inst.
Her remains have been embalmed and
will be deposited in q vault until ar
rangements are made for their remov-
al to Rootstown, the final resting place
among her kindred. Com.

Did He Mean to Lie, or Was He Sold!
MR.. EDITOR Can youtell me what
the matter is with your distinguished
cotemporary, the Republican Demo-
crat? don't refer to its politics. That
is hopelessly bad. But I did suppose
that it was measurably reliable as q
chronicler of ordinary news, and that
it had able, well-paid and reliable COR
respondents at all important points.
But either because the wires were out
of order, or because the representative
of the r. D. in this great city was ON
drunk, or because his quarters salary
had not been paid, or because John
Sherman had hired the editor-in-chief
to give away the Kent Greenbackers,
or for some other reason or reasons not
known, the last weeks Kent dispatch
es to the r. d. repreye all the officials
just elected to be Democrats! OF course
exception is made, and properly 80, Of
the few Republicans, who by virtue of
energetic and persistent personal effort
with the negative class of voters, man.
aged to squeezeinto few upimportant
positions.
Now, Mr.. Editor, do not understand
me that regard it as all q disgrace to
the Greenback officials of Kent to be
called Democrats Not at all. For
whatever may be said of Democrats in
the other large cities, the Democrats
of Kent are almost as good as the
Greenbackers> themselves. And take
pleasure in saying that q minority of
the Kent Republicans would do credit
to any party to which they might be-
long. A number of this class of Re-
publicans, together with the Democrats
and Greenback men, united rather
spontaneously and with very little pre-
concerted arrangement, in putting for
ward what might properly be called q
"Citizen's Ticket" On this ticket
were ten Greenback men, six Demo-
Gratis, and two Republicans. The most
noticeable feature of the transaction
was the remarkable, and I may proper
ly say, extraordinary liberality of the
Democrats in conceding majority of
the important positions to the Green
hackers and Republicans, indeed, only
taking one-third of the places them
selves, although they furnished full
one-half of all the support the ticket
received.
In the face of these facts the defeated
Republicans set up the cry that the
Democrats have swallowed the Green
hackers. If this is so it must be. ad-
mitted they make a very nutritious
diet! For we see the Democrats now
strong enough to smash the ring"
that has ruled Kent with a high hand
for the last sixteen years, and which
they were too weak to grapple with so
long as they were confined to ordinary
! feed. GREENBACKER.

Free man Underwood,

One of the substantial citizens of
Kent, died at his residence, April IL,
1879, aged 20 years. He was born in
Munson, Hambden county, Mass,
December 8, 1905. With his father he
moved to Ohio in 1917, and settled in
Brimfield, where he remained till 1866,
when he removed to Kent, which has
since been his home. December 5th,
1884 he married Miss Amelia NJ. Lin
coin, by whom he had four children.
One son died at the age of two years.
one died in infancy, and two daughters
with their mother still survive.
Mr.. Underwood was the fourth of
a family of seven children, all of whom
lived to marry and settle in life. Elan,
the youngest son, died at the age of %
years, Alvira (Chapman) died in 1858
Lydia, Permelia (Palmer), and FIRE. =
man have died within the past eight
cen months; Marcia (Williams), and
Albert are still living and reside in
Ravenna. The father, Alpheus Un-
derwded, was one of the pioneers of
Brimfield, and had to rear his family
amid difficulties known to their de-
scendents. With his family he came
from Massachusetts in a wagon drawn
by a span of horses and a yoke of oxen.
At that time no public road had been
opened in Brimfield and there was
then called Wildstown. Opportunities
tor obtaining an education were then
very limited. Yet many of the girls
and boys of that day grew into SUBJ
stantial, intelligent men and women.
No one acquainted with Mr.. Under
wood will question his right to men,
bership in their class. He was indus
trious, a good neighbor, one Of the best
farmers in the county, and possessed
more than average judgement and dis
cretion. In every relation in life he was
thoroughly reliable. His self-control
was such that he was seldom betray-
ed into rashness of fspeech or action. He
was q wise counselor, a faithful friend,
an affectionate husband and father,
and q worthy citizen: His eulogy is
written in many memories, and many
will sadly miss his manly presence.
He Joined the Pioneer Association
when it was first organized. OF tenn
perance he was a loyal friend, and of
the Universalist Church he had been
a generous supporter and an honored
member for many years.
His funeral services conducted by
Rev. Andrew Wilson, of Ravenna,
were held at his residence, Tuesday
forenoon, April 18th. The weather
was very unpleasant, yet the attend.
ance of relatives and friends was large.
