This picture was taken around 1960. The house was built in at least three sections. The right hand side is log (abt 10" diameter) with willow lath and plaster on the inside and drop siding on the outside. The left hand side is two story frame. The back part is one story frame. The parts were undoubtedly built at separate times, but there is no written or verbal history except birth of children to signify when. The first child born there was Sophronia (1887) followed by Roscoe (1891) and Adelia (1894). 1887 was when the the Bassett Stage Line (see history) was operating and WH and CHII Bassett moved their winter horse range from Cedar Fort, Utah to Lago (Trout Creek), Idaho. Hence the log part was probably built then, the back part being added later and the two story frame being completed around 1900. The drop siding on the log part was probably added when the frame sections were built. There are verbal stories of Indians looking through the windows during the early years. Roscoe Bassett and his wife, Inez, lived in the back part for a few years then moved to Ogden, Utah. Then Alfred Hansen and family lived in the back part until WH and Met's death when they occupied the entire house. It became unoccupied in the 1960's and burned down. See Lago (Trout Creek) and W. H. Bassett histories. |

| Notes |
- Bud (Clarence) remembers: "Dad (Alfred) was having problems with his eyes. I was about 8 or 9 when he started seeing a specialist in SLC. Ma (Adelia) and Dad took Dallas and me with them in the model T Ford. In order to get over Wellsville Canyon I remember Dad had to turn the car around and back up the hill. In those days there was always a problem with flat tires. We left home at 4am and got to Ogden at 8pm. We spent the night with Uncle Ross and Aunt Inez and continued into Salt Lake City the next morning. Us kids stayed with the Fowlers (friends from Lago) in Roy. Dad did loose the sight in his left eye at that time.
We returned to Ogden and Dad bought a 26 Overland; that's what we rode home in. It was a much better trip.
After Grandpa Bassett died Dad was the constable in Lago for about 15 years. Dad was on the school board for over 35 years. After war was declared in 1942 they moved the high school from Thatcher to Grace, and Dad remained trustee. Dad ran the dance hall in Lago (at the school house) for quite a few years. I only remember that they had big dances there every Saturday night in the winter time and it always bothered us kids that Dad would dance with every one but ma; never found out the reason.
When Grandpa Bassett died Mother received $5,000 from the estate, Grandpa Hansen gave Alfred another $5,000 and Dad borrowed $4,000 from Utah Mortgage and loan to buy the farm. During the depression they feared they would loose it. About 1934 Dad went to Federal Land bank to borrow enough to pay off Utah Mortgage and Loan. Sumptner Pond was head of Federal Land Bank in Grace and refused the loan. Ma, in speaking to Lenore Rudd, learned that the same thing had happened to Glenn, but Glenn made a trip to Spokane, the head offices, and spoke to his brother-in-law Lyle Coburn (Irene Rudd's husband). After examining the finances he determined that Glenn had enough equity in the property to grant the loan. Mother came home and told Dad and he also made the trip to Spokane (Irene had been mother's girlfriend of her youth). Upon returning home he again visited Pond who told him the main office had granted his loan. He didn't know why. Dad later learned that Pond had blackballed him."
Bud and Dorothy remember the first radio they ever had as a family. It was operated on batteries. Batteries were expensive so in the winter months they would block up the car and bring in the battery so they could enjoy the radio.
Dorothy remembers how her mother kept her at her side to teach her the “womanly” arts. She remembers learning how to iron and cook. Dorothy is a fabulous cook. It was Mother that encouraged the kids to get their educations. She steered Dallas to the army to further his career in electronics and Dorothy was encouraged to go into nursing. Adelia checked with her friend Dr. Kackley and Dorothy was sent to Odgen to the Dee Hospital.
Dorothy remembers in 1934 during the depression that Alfred received a letter saying that his farm was to be foreclosed. Alfred paced the floor and couldn’t sleep for worry. Dorothy remembers that Adelia wrote to the state senator to request assistance for the problem. (Bud remembered a conversation with Lenore Rudd) The result was the same. A trip to Spokane secured a new loan with the Federal Land Bank.
(I’m - Mary Ann -always impressed with Adelia and how she was not only practical but also followed up and got things done, What a marvelous woman she was, also with a strong history of service in the community. It is obvious how she loved and guided her children).
Bud went to work for Vega (a Division of Lockheed) aircraft in November 1939. One of the classes he took while there was jig building. He was also a machine parts dispatcher.
Ma died in February, leaving the youngest son Stanley at home with Dad. He would have been about 7 at the time. She had a lump growing in her breast and went into surgery in Soda Springs to have it removed. She did not survive the surgery.
Oddly enough, Dallas was on a troop train that went thru Soda Springs that day heading for Alaska by way of Washington, but of course he was unable to get off. Bud got word of the death thru Vega Aircraft. The family had notified the plant to get word to him. He asked for leave to attend the funeral, but it was not granted. He went anyway. They threatened to turn him over to the army, but it was an empty threat as he had already joined the navy.
He went into the active service in Feb. 1943. He was in the Pacific for two years mostly on Bougainville (battle of the Coral Sea) and then came back to the states joining the ship New Jersey and went to antiwek. When he came home his ship was called to a rescue in Alaska so they took the long way home.
Phil stayed on the farm helping that summer. That winter he went with Willard Bitton to Ogden to work. Dorothy was in nurses training in Ogden at the Dee Hospital and Dallas was in Alaska. Dallas's group was sent back to home base in the mid-west and eventually to England where he was "ships crew boss" and flew many missions over Germany.
In November Dad married Lutie Bassett Swensen, Ma's older sister, and she helped raise Stan. Dad milked cows and helped Lutie with the post office during the war. Rex Bassett ran the farm.
Bud was discharged in January 1946. Phil came home the following year.
When the war was over Phil and Bud returned to the farm. They purchased the Elliot Place, leased part of Emil’s farm, bought equipment and built the Quonset hut for weather protection.
Phil married Carol Meacham in 1950 and Bud married Mary Ann Hildreth in 1951
