      Philo P. Bassett, the youngest son of Samuel and Betsey Bassett, was
      born in Bergen, August 26, 1834, and at the age of 20 began life for himself,
      choosing the occupations of carpenter, joiner, and painter, which he followed
      successfully till 1877. February 25, 1859, he married Harriet W., daughter of
      William H. and Frances E. Keytes, of Owosso, Mich. In 1877 he commenced the
      undertaking business in this town, being located then one block south of his
      present place of business. Just before the big fire of March 1, 1880, he had
      removed to the building just south of the Bergen Hotel, and thus escaped. The
      latter part of 1885 he removed his business to the Carpenter & McKenzie block.
      He deals in funeral furniture, artists' materials, pictures and frames,
      stationery, etc., and is a funeral director. As an undertaker he is successful
      and worthily very popular, and his business has largely extended to neighboring
      towns.
