 | Bassett: William Henry Bassett and Marette Cook home.
Taken in 1952. Originally the house had a very large front yard that was surrounded by Lombardy Poplars. The pickett fence was added about the time this picture was taken. The large trees are Black Willows. They have huge spreading trunks. |
 | Bassett: Fire Hole Basin in Yellowstone Park in the early 1880's.
This was the destination for the Bassett Bro. Stage Line bringing passengers from Beaver Canyon, Idaho, to Yellowstone Park. The river behind the trees is probably the Firehole River as it runs through the meadow at Firehole Basin.
The woman by the tent may be Marrette Cook Bassett. She was spending summers here at this time. It is probably the cook tent mentioned in the Bassett Bros. Stage Co. history. |
 | Cook: Marrette Cook
This picture has been in my family for decades. Over time the identity became confused. Only recently was it discovered that this is, indeed, a picture of Marrette Cook. Her name is written on the frame and her husbands name is written on the picture. We might assume that he had it painted around the time of their wedding. Hence, it was probably painted around 1876. The frame is probably original. It now hangs in Stephen Hansen's dining room. |
 | Bassett: William. H. Bassett and Marrette Cook home
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. |
