THEOLDEsr HNHABrTANr.
A Native Of Delaware I2B Years
Old.

The Philadelphia Record of to-day
contains the following which is of local
interest to Delaware
William Bassett ia an aged negro, liv.
ing In Camden, N. j. Last MAY be
celebrated his 126 birthday, and is
without doubt the "oldest inhabitant''
of the New World. Bassett was born
in the State of Delaware, near Smyrna,
In 1855, where his parents were slaves
for many years being owned by the
Bayard family.
His childhood was spent in the Gus.
tomary way Of young darkies living on
large estates, milking the COWS, driving
the horses and making himseltgenerally
useful about the place. During the war
of the revolution Bassett, then young
man of 81 or %, was working for a
farmer by the name of Wilson, long
since forgotten in that locality, some
twenty miles from Dover, where he
had moved shortly before the war COM
menced.
While there he married, and became
the father of large family, each mem
Der Of whom he has outlivrd. Upon the
death of his wife Bassett married again.
When the war broke out In 1872 he left
his home and became a body servant,
to Colonel Morris, of Jackson's army
whom he accompanied to the front at
New ORLEANS.
While South he suffered from an at.
tack of typhoid fever consequent upon
the change Of climate, and his life was
despaired of. After recovery he re-
turned to the North, and was forty
years in Colonel Morris household. He
married his third wife upon his return
from the South, and had by her quite a
numerous family, all but one of whom
died prior to the civil war.
For the last eighteen years he has
been taken care of by his children and
grandchildren, spending the time be.
tween Camden and Morestown,
to and from which places
he has travelled on foot many q time.
The last trip was made early in the fall
of 1881, and as walk for man of 125
years, the record scannot be excelled.
OF late he has been failing very much,
for the past two weeks being unable to
take any nourishment.
The old man at present is with his
niece, Hannah Fisher, at the corner OF
Newton and Ann streets, Kaighn's
Point, Camden. His decease is looked
for daily.
