Died. Bassett. At her home Friday evening, Dec 27th, Miss Mary S. Bassett, only sister of Miss Sallie Bassett. Miss Mary S. Bassett was born in Marblehead, Mass., but had passed most of her life in Mineral Point, and had endeared herself to very many who, with her bereaved sister, sincerely mourn their loss. Her life was that of a true Christian woman, modest,diligent, and refined, and her death after a year of patient suffering was a fitting close to such a life. Funeral services were held at her late home on Monday afternoon, Dec. 30th at 2 o'clock, by the Rev. Philip Allen, Sr. and the remains were taken to the old cemetery for burial.
