Nobuko Bassett (picture included) Nobuko (nee' Fukunaga) Bassett died on Saturday, June 25, 2011, at her residence in the Village of Northrise, Las Cruces, New Mexico. She passed quietly while in the company of her daughter, Chikako, and close friends, Maki Peet, Gail Bamford, and Pam Miller. Nobuko was born on March 27, 1921, in Toyama Prefecture in central Japan. The eldest daughter, she grew up with four sisters and five brothers in a home surrounded by the forests and snowcapped mountains of Nagano. Early in her life, she developed an interest in sports and the arts, and eventually graduated from Nikadoo University with a degree in Gymnastics. Following college, she taught gymnastics at the local high school while pursuing her artistic passions and developing an artistic eye that led her to oils and watercolor. In the mid-1950s, she opened "Ra Chiquita,"at the time, one of the few Italian restaurants in Japan and the only Italian restaurant in the country with a Spanish name. Patrons from around the region would flock to the restaurant where they could enjoy an Italian-Japanese meal of white sauce, fettuccini and sake while sitting fora hand-drawn sketch by Ra Chiquita's locally renowned artist-owner, Nobuko Fukunaga. Nobuko remained at the restaurant until she met Ray Bassett, a young American serviceman stationed in Japan. She gave her heart to Ray as he did to her. Ray married Nobuko and brought his new bride to the United States where Ray was eventually stationed at White Sands Missile Range, their home until he retired from the US Navy. Following his retirement, Nobuko and Ray traveled around the country in search of the perfect place to build their home. Their search led them back to Las Cruces, a place that Nobuko, in her way, described as, "everyone friendly." Nobuko lived happily with Ray for many years in their first and last and only home. She gardened, growing flowers, fruits, and vegetables. She found a love of classical music and would spend hours knitting while Mozart or Beethoven played in the background. Her true passion, besides Ray, was always art. During her time in Las Cruces, Nobuko perfected her technique and her reputation as an artist grew. Her award-winning still lifes, portraits and landscapes can be found throughout Las Cruces, a testament to her skill as an artist. Nobuko is preceded in death by her husband, Ray Bassett, USN retired; her parents; and two brothers and three sisters. She is survived by her sisters, Sumiko and Chieko and her brothers, Tetsuya and Yujoo. She is also survived by her daughters Chicako and Yaeko; her grandchildren, Daisuke, Hideko, and Hajime; and great grandchildren, Iori and Aoi. A celebration of life will be held at Village of Northrise, 2882 Hallmark Building, on July 1, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Nobuko's remains will join those of her beloved Ray at Fort Bliss National Cemetery. Prior to her passing, Nobuko requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Hospice of Las Cruces. The Japanese family of Nobuko Bassett would like to express its thanks to the many residents of Las Cruces and the Village of Northrise who were Nobuko's friends and her American family.

New York Herald, January 26, 1874 Bassett – On Sunday, January 25, Helen Maria, wife of John Tracy Bassett. Her remains will be taken to Boston this (Monday) night. Daily Inter Ocean, January 13, 1889 Saturday’s Fires Jacob Bassett’s Molding Mill at Brooklyn Destroyed
Monday, April 23, 1894 Killed Crossing The Track Thomas Bassett, an Elevated Employe, Cut Up by His Own Train Thomas Bassett, a brakeman on the Brooklyn Elevated railway, stepped from his train as it drew up to the Van Sicien avenue station last night. He tried to cross the tracks, his object being to find out at what hour in the morning he should report for duty. In stepping down his foot caught in the edge of the gate, and he was thrown under the wheels. The train started, and three cars passed over him, literally cutting the unfortunate man to pieces. The remains were carried Farrell’s undertaking shop on Atlantic avenue, near Wyona street. There they remain awaiting Coroner Creamer’s disposition. Bassett was married and lived on Grand avenue, near Myrtie. The police went through the form customary in such cases and arrested James H. Johnson and John Smith, engineer and conductor of the train. The men were formally arraigned in the Gates avenue police court this morning on charges of criminal carelessness and furnished $1,500 bonds for appearance when wanted. The Evening Telegram – New York, Tuesday, March 29, 1898 Drunken Man Shot Dead as Burglar Andrew Bassett, a Williamsburg Painter, Enters Neighbor’s Rooms Instead of His Own Groped Noisily In The Dark While groping about in another man’s apartments early this morning, apparently believing they were his own, Andrew Bassett, of No. 169 Stanhope street, Williamsburg, was mistaken for a burglar and instantly killed. The fatal bullet came from a double barreled rifle in the hands of Martin Hans, twenty-nine-years old, a bricklayer, who lives at No. 171 Stanhope street. Hans and his wife occupy four rooms on the ground floor of a tenement, their bedroom adjoining the kitchen. Both were sleeping at half-past one o’clock this morning, when the husband was awakened by a noise in the front room. Awakening his wife the man told her a burglar was in the house. Then going to a closet he took out his rifle and, telling his wife to follow quietly with the lamp, crept toward the front room. Moving cautiously through the front bedroom, Hans stood for a moment listening to the man, who apparently was groping blindly about the parlor. Hesitating only a moment, the man threw open the parlor door. As he died so, in the dim lamp light, he found himself face to face with the startling apparition of a man dressed in white overalls. Without a word, and before the intruder could make himself known, Hans raised the rifle. Instantly a sharp report echoed through the house, and with a quick, smothered cry the man fell forward on his face. Without taking the trouble to see whether his victim was dead or alive, Hans closed the door and went back to the kitchen, to which room his wife had fled, screaming with terror. Mrs. Hans was calling wildly for help and knocking on the back window. Her efforts aroused Henry Murck, who lives in the house, and he, when he learned of the shooting, hastened to find a policeman. He returned to the house with Policeman Hurisburger, who, lighting the way with a lamp, cautiously entered the front room, revolver in hand. But his precautions were useless. The intruder had paid the penalty for his rashness and lay lifeless upon the floor with a bullet in this heart. By the time Police Surgeon Brennan reached the dead man’s side, every one in the house was crowding about the door, greatly excited by the news that a murder had been committed. There was nothing for the surgeon to do, but, after he had officially pronounced the man dead, Hans was arrested. Hans was terribly shocked when he learned that he had shot his neighbor, and protested to the police that he had mistaken the man for a burglar. In spite of his protests he was arrested on a charge of homicide and his wife was held as a witness. Bassett was forty-one years old, married and a painter; Mrs. Bassett told me today that her husband was of irregular habits and a heavy drinker at times. He left home at half-past seven o’clock Saturday morning to go to work, she said, and did not return. Stanhope street is dimly lighted and is lined with a row of three-story double flat houses, similar in construction and similarly painted. A sober man might easily mistake his own residence among them. Bassett lived in the right-hand first floor flat at No. 171. Bassett had not had regular employment of late. He had been promised steady work after next Monday by John Hock, of Knickerbocker avenue. He had been drinking some of late, and it is probable that his joy at getting work was the cause of a particular celebration yesterday. Mrs. Bassett sat up till ten o’clock last night awaiting her husband’s return, then retired, putting her three small children to bed and leaving the front parlor door unlocked for her husband. It is plain that Bassett was confused when he came home. He must have opened Hans’ shutter from the outside. But he found the front window unlatched and easily raised the sash and entered. It was the noise he made after entering that aroused Hans and his wife. Hans was arraigned today before Magistrate lemon in the Ewen Street Police Court. His wife, who had been held as a witness, accompanied him. Hans took the matter coolly. “I thought he was a burglar,” he said, “or of course I wouldn’t have shot. I would scarcely known my neighbor if I had seen him plainly last night, for I have seen him only once or twice before and was unfamiliar with his appearance. Hans was held without bail, despite the corroboration of his story in every detail by his wife. She was not detained, but promised to be on hand as a witness whenever needed.

Children Rewarded Given $25 Each for Saving a Train at Richville
George Bassett, aged 14 years, and his cousin were walking along the track near Richville, February 27, and discovered that a rail was broken. They had a lantern with them and knowing that the north bound train was about due, realized that a wreck would result if the train struck the broken rail. They boy ran up the track and when he saw the headlight of the approaching train, he waved the lantern back and forth across the track. Engineer J.H. Wilkins, of Norwood, saw the signal and stopped his train about a car length from the boy. The boy came around to the gangway and told the engineer what he had found. The youngster was pulled up into the cab, and the train proceeded slowly to a point where the boy went to the place indicated and there located the rail. By careful maneuvering the engineer got his train over safely. Barney Dulles, of Massena, was the conductor on the train. The matter was taken up with the Central officials and it was decided that the children should be rewarded and a recent mail brought to them checks of $25 each.

Amsterdam Evening Recorder, Tuesday, December 22, 1925 Long Separated Brothers United News Item Responsible for Bringing Together Two Formerly Employed Here
The two men are descendants of the same family, but the Syracuse brother since he attained manhood had used the name of Bassett instead of Bresett. The family is of native French stock. Forty years ago John and James were employed in railroad work at Amsterdam and vicinity, but with the changes over the years they had drifted apart and neither had heard from the other. A few weeks ago the Oneida lake man read a story in a Syracuse newspaper relatives to James Bassett of Danforth street in that city having received a compensation for injuries suffered while at work. Upon reading the news story John decided that the James Bassett referred to was his brother. A letter to the Syracuse address brought a reply to John and recollections of their associations of years ago. Sunday the Oneida lake brother and his wife were taken to Syracuse by Edward Ackerman, a neighbor, and there was a happy reunion after the separation of years.
