'''Mary Bassett Clarke''' ([[pen name]], '''Ida Fairfield'''; November 18, 1831 – August 2, 1908) was a 19th-century American writer.
==Biography==
Mary Bassett was born in [[Independence, New York]], November 18, 1831. She was the daughter of John C. Bassett. a well-to-do farmer of western [[New York (state)|New York]], and Martha St. John Bassett. She was the seventh in a family of twelve children who lived to maturity. She was educated in [[Alfred University]]. Although ill-health limited her opportunities, she was graduated from the university in 1857.
At the age of fifteen, she began writing for publication, under the pen-name "Ida Fairfield," in the ''Flag of Our Union''. With some interruption by ill-health, she continued many years to be a contributor to that paper, to the ''Rural New Yorker'',, and to local papers and periodicals. She married William L. Clarke on September 8, 1859, and removed to [[Ashaway, Rhode Island]]. For several years her writings, both prose and verse, were principally given to periodicals issued by the Seventh-Day Baptists, of which religion she was a member.
A collection of her poems, ''Autumn Leaves'', was published in 1894 ([[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo)]].
Clarke died August 2, 1908.
