Contributed by SJ - Mary was born in Rochdale, Lancashire, England in 1814, the daughter of Thomas Whitworth. In her eighteenth year she came to America, and in 1835 she was married in New York to Peter James Basler, a Scottish immigrant.
About two years later they moved to Pennsylvania (Susquehanna County) until going to Rock Island, Illinois in 1855, and then to Sac County, Iowa in 1856. There were agents in Rock Island trying to get new settlers with families to come to this section of Iowa.
The Basler family, which included eight children by that time, crossed the Mississippi River on the ice January 1, 1856, and it took a month to reach Sac County. It was necessary to come across the country in the winter time, as it was impossible to get across the streams and marshes, except when the water was frozen. An ox team brought all the family possessions.
At that time there were only two houses in Sac City, the Criss cabin and the Manlove cabin. The Baslers settled on farmland near Grant City.
Mary passed away in the early morning of October 30, 1884. She was preceded in death by two sons, Thomas and Peter. All of her living children: David, James, Abraham, Mary (Mrs. Amos Comstock), Harrison and Sarah (Mrs. Frank Thompson) were present at the funeral. Mrs. Ann Mathews [her sister], the only living member of her father's family, was with her in her last illness.

In earlier times she lived about seven miles south of Sac City, but for the last 16 years she has lived in and near this city, and all her neighbors became her sincere and attached friends. She was a ready sympathizer with the afflicted, and her hands were ever ready to help those who needed her aid.
She was born in England in 1814. In her 18th year she came to America. In 1835 she was married in New York to Mr. Peter Basler. In about two years after she removed to Pa., where she resided until in 1855 she came to this county. Two of her children, Thomas and Peter, died many years ago.
All her living children, David, James, Abraham, Mary (Mrs. Comstock), Harrison and Sarah (Mrs. Frank Thompson), were present at the funeral. Her life was an eventful one, and few could have so well performed the duties of wife and mother, neighbor and friend as she. Her memory will long remain, not only with her relatives, but with all who knew her.
Mrs. Ann Mathews, the only living member of her father's family, was with her in her last sickness and followed her to her grave. Her sickness was a brief one, only from Thursday to Saturday, and her mind was clear to the last. She expressed her willingness to go to her Savior, and requested her children never to forget to be kind to their father, and united in heart and feeling to one another. Well may tears fall to the memory of such a mother and friend.
