Notes:

Permelia endured the persecutions heaped upon her and her father's family after they were baptized by Joseph Smith the Prophet, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Through all of this she was valiant and resolute. Their trek across the plains requred great courage, determination and patience and long suffering. These noble traits she possessed, and in their home she was kind, genteel and understanding. These fine admirable qualities are part of the priceless heritage she bequeathes to her numerous posterity. The Bassett home was at 615 S 4th E, Salt Lake City, UT.
