I was just looking through the Basford board and found your posting. My maiden name is
Basford and about a year and a half ago, I visited the graveyard at Carlisle. I was
totally amazed when I saw the name Boise Bassford on a marker. I can't find out
anything except the Carlisle records list her as 19 when she died. I'm wondering if
she was given the name by someone at the school. Do you know if any of the
"faculty" were named Bassford? My fiance is from Lancaster and every chance I
get I stop and visit her grave. It's such a sad place. I was just there about two
weeks ago and placed a rose on her grave. We had a heck of a time getting in this time
what with all the security since 9/11. How did you come to know about her? I noticed your
posting has been here a while, have you found out anything else about her? I would love to
know. Thanks for any info.....Darlene Basford-Dixon
