He remained on the farm until thirty-nine  years af age, when he came into possession of his present farm of 130 acres, through the assistance of his father, and on this farm he has ever since resided, doing general farming. In politics Mr. Bassler is a Republican, and while feeling a keen interest  in the welfare of his party, he has never sought political honors. In 1842 he married  Eva, daughter of Jacob Sand of Knox, and they have three children: Dorthy L.  (wife of Nicholas Sheldon of Knox), Olivia M. (wife of James E. Onderdonk of Central  Bridge, N. Y.), and Catharine E. (who died when nineteen). Mrs. Bassler died in  February, 1894. They were both members of the Reformed church, in which he has  officiated as deacon and elder. He has now retired from the active life and care of  the farm, which he now leases to his son-in-law, Mr. Sheldon.

	Having spent a long life of activity and usefulness in the church, when he could no longer attend its councils, enter upon its public duties, of participate in its ordinances, his Bible became his constant companion. The endless future was continually before his eyes. Death was the absorbing theme of consideration, and frequently the topic of discourse. As increasing years were stealing over him, and his physical powers declining and growing more feeble and tremulous, retaining the vigor of a strong mind, he was conscious that at any moment he was liable to the Master's call. To bin in readiness for such an event was the burden of his prayer. His latter days were almost entirely occupied with the great concerns of the soul. The last sound that was heard from his room at night, and the first in the morning was the trembling voice ascending to heaven,with thanksgiving for past mercies, and supplication for grade and strength for future trials, and especially to the trying hour of his approaching dissolution.

	In 1771, in consequence of the great distance that many were obliged to travel for the pupose of attending divine service and catechetical instructions, the congregation of Schoharie divided and a new church organized, styled the church of Beaverdam. For the spiritual advancement of this portion of the Master's vineyard, a log house of worship was immediately erected about two miles west of Mr. Bassler's residence, where the services were conducted in the German language, affording many a far more easy access to religious ordinances that they had previously enjoyed. Yet these were emphatically times of trouble. While fearing the attack of foes there was no less dread of the cruelty of enemies rising up among them. The tribes of the Lord go up to his temple for worship, bearing with the the instruments of death. The clangor of arms, and the thoughts of war and bloodshed are mingled with the sacred duties of devotions of the Sabbath. The communicant carries with him his musket, as indispensable requisites to his attendance upon the ordinances of religion. Being at any moment liable to an attack, it was necessary at all times to be in readiness for defense. But after a lapse of years, these difficulties subsided, and the hearts of the faithful were encouraged to the performance of a more vigorous service. Now this rude and ancient building is removed, and a more convenient, large, and comfortable edifice is erected in its stead.

Now this rude and ancient building is removed, and a more convenient, large, and comfortable edifice is erected in its stead. Here for many years, Mr. Bassler met and communed with the people of God.

		+	But when in process of time this second temple grew old and dilapidated, and the village of Beaverdam on the west, and Berne on the south were increasing in population, it was deemed expedient to abandon the old church ground and erect a new house in each of the above villages. Accordingly, this project was entered upon, and both of these houses were commenced and completed in 1831. Mr. Bassler being set off, identified with the First Reformed Dutch church of Berne. In 1789 his name is enrolled as a member of the consistory, and from that time until disqualified for the active duties of life by the weight and infirmities of age, he was an active, efficient and exemplary member, and much of the time a ruling leader in the church of God. When the old church of Beaverdam was originally formed from a portion of the congregation of Schoharie in 1771, Mr. Bassler constituted one of its members. Since then, the entire body have fallen asleep. This aged father in Isreal survived them all. He was our beloved Zion is now numbered with the things that were. What a thrilling comment upon the evanescence of all sublunary objects! Life, however protracted, and years, however multiplied, must speedily be brought to a close. The time is at hand when it shall be said, - They were but are not.
