Mrs. Bascom Passes At The Home Of Daughter In New York The death of Mrs. H. M. Bas com on Jjanuary 30, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Watson Barnatt in New York City, re moves from Highlands another of its pioneer citizens. Funeral ser vices were Iheld in New York, and the body brought here for burial in Highlands cemetery Tuesday, with a short graveside service con ducted by Rev. H. T. Bridgman, pastor of the Presbyteriain church. Although born in Indiana, Flor ence Coffin Bascom, second ? wife of the late Henry Martin Bascom, was really a Southerner, since her family on both sides wer* North Carolinans. Her father, Emory Dunreith Coffin, was an orchardist near Greensboro, and her mother, F.hnina H. Foster, was the first graduate of Guilford College at f.rw>n?horo. Mrs. Basoom's father was a slave-owner before the Civil War, but freed his staves when tihe agitation against slavery finally convinced him that it was wrong, and hearing of the marvelous fruit growing climate in Indiana, he started for that state with a wag on and Surrey containing .his fam ily. his worldly goods, and one freed slave girl who refused to leave the family. After a tr<k of several weeks, the pilgrims set tled in a spot whidh subsequently became Gaf.fin's Station, being eventually changed to JiTf Coffin's second name, JJunreifh, whidh as a flourishing town it bears today. In 1858, Amanda Florence Coffin was bom in Dunreith Cottage, the fifth of seven dhildren. whem five years old she was legally adopted bv her mother's sister, Mrs. Mary Amanda Davis, tor whom she was named. In time, Mrs. Davis heard of the newly discovered Blue Ridge section, and like many otitic rs came here in search of heahih, her adopted daughter, Amanda Flor ence, going on to Kansas City, where, with her work with R. G. Dunn & Company, she used one of the Brst tre?d> typewriters. However, letters glowing with the beauties of this ragwm 9oon brought the daughter to Highlands. In 1887 she was married to H. M. Bus com, one of the foremost lead ers in tihe upbuilding of the town for more than half a century. Mrs. Basoom was inordinately fond of travel, and in "Clvetolah," the charming Bascom home, high on a spur of Satulaih mountain, may be seen many interesting curios gathered by her from the four corners of the earth. She wm one of tlw lint vintori to Lake Worth, Ffca., inow Palm Beach, and spent her winters in St. Augustine when the Flagler hotels were in their heyday. She knew ,e*ery nook and cranny in America from the Grand Canyon to Maine. In 1909 she made a leis urely trip .around the world on ttlie S. S. Cleveland. Jm her early days, Mrs. Bascom's fondness for outdoor life took her on frequent horseback trips through various parts of North Carolina and often into Tennessee, as well as over every trail in and around High lands. Consequently she was one of the party who nam,ed Wine Spring Bald, tihe Bowery, and other spots now familiar to every one. She was also one of the first good women photographers in the country when cameras were a nov,elty. With tihe exception of tihe kite T. G. Harbison, noted botanist, and possibly the late Mrs. John Jay Smith, Mrs. Bascom knew more about the flora of this re gion than any other person. In Iher garden at "Chetolah", along with many rar<e plants, were often an acre or two of imported dahlias, which she gnaciously shared with all flower lovers. For the past twenty years or more, Mr. and Mrs. Basoom spent ? their winters in Florida, Bermuda and New York. When in New York tih,e Bascoms were guests of their daughter, Mrs. Watson Bar ratt. In 1937, Mrs. Barnatt ihonor ed them with a Golden Wedding celebration, inviting 100 dinner guests and furnishing professional entertainment. Surviving Mrs. Bascoin are two sisters, Mrs. Alice Russell of New York City, and Mrs. Albert Hem ley, now ninety-five years old, who recently moved to California from .Lawrence, Kansas, where her fav orite pastime was providing a college education- for boys. In Mrs. Henley's declining days, tihe oolletge built a special road to its door so that she miglht (navigate an obstructing hill with gretarter ease in her electric, which she Continued to drive even in Iver eighties, and which is now on ex hibition at the University of Kan sas. Mrs. Basoom' s family trace their ancestry back to Mr. Pine Coffin. Two famous members of the family are Tristram Coffin, well-known novelist and poet, and the lute Howard Coffin, a nephew, Who founded the Hudson motor Company, Sapelo Island, and later developed today's smart resort at Sea Islaind, Georgia. Another nephew, Herbert Jones, prominent California attorney, has been mentioned from time to time as a candidate for governor of that state. Still another nephew, Augustine Jocies, is pastor of the Congregational church at I\ilo Alto, OaJifotmia. TRUSTEE'S NOTICE North Carolina, Macro County.
