      KENMORE – George Morgan Bassett, 87, of 141 Palmer Avenue, Kenmore,
      more recently at the Erie County Infirmary, Alden N.Y., went to be “with
      Christ, which is far better”, on September 9, 1959.
      He is survived by one son, Lowell P. Bassett, Palmer Avenue, who is
      employed by the State Board of Equalization and Assessment, and one daughter,
      Virginia L., 1011 East 35th Street, Brooklyn, N.Y., who devotes her life to
      missionary work. Also surviving are two brothers William A. Bassett of Perry,
      and Eugene F. Bassett of Jamestown, plus numerous nephews and niece
      Mr. Bassett’s friends will remember him as a redhead who loved the
      Lord and who had strong moral and political views. His humor was ever
      delightful and his best stories were about the old days. During his life he
      was a printer, telephone installer, editor of Akron news, fruit farm hand,
      salesman, and writer for a company of executive personnel.
      His wife Mrs. Harriet P. Bassett died in 1930.
      Mr. Bassett’s special interests included people, Bible study and Bible
      teaching, history, astronomy, geology, genealogy, writing of music, poetry,
      and fiction, and chorus and choir singing.
      His church preference was either Methodist or Presbyterian, with
      choice varying according to the minister’s preaching of the fundamental
      gospel.
      His eyes were given to the Buffalo Eye Bank.
      He was particularly fond of his home town, Castile, N.Y., and
      Letchworth Park nearby. For many years he attended the “May Breakfasts” at
      Castile.
      Eventually his ashes will be placed to rest in Grace Cemetery, Castile.
