      CLEVELAND, March 10 - Edward S. Bassett, industrialist who was
      prominent here in civic and cultural affairs, died last night at the age of 83.
      He was a former treasurer of The Cleveland Leader, now The News. The
      newspaper was founded by his grandfather, Edwin Cowles.
      In 1912 Mr. Bassett was one of the organizers of Bassett & Smit
      consultants in management, specializing in cost accounting. Seven years later
      he became secretary-treasurer of the Cowles Chemical Company, manufacturers of
      detergents and other industrial chemicals.
      He was general manager of the chemical company in 1926, and four years
      later was elected president. He served as president until 1938 when he was
      named chairman of the board. Mr. Bassett retired from that post in 1941, but
      retained membership on the board of directors until last year
      He was one of the founders of the Cleveland Chamber Music Society and
      formerly served as its treasurer.
      His widow, a son and daughter survive.
