      Mrs. Rollin Bassett

      Mrs. Rollin Bassett died Wednesday evening. Her maiden name was Emma L. Howard, and she was born March 17, 1857 in East Charlemont, the daughter of David and Eliza Howard. When 22 years of age she was married to Rollin Bassett and went at once to heath to live, where with her husband she made her home until 1898, when the family moved to Greenfield. During these years nine children were born, all of whom are living with the exception of the first and last born, Edna May dying in 1901, and Ralph in 1908. Mrs. Bassett was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of this town. She was a woman of exemplary Christian character, a true friend, and loving wife and mother and thoroughly devoted to her family.
