- Reminiscences of School Life
Charlotte Bassett (picture included)
Miss Bassett was the daughter of the Hon. E.D. Bassett. She was a graduate of the Institute and began her career there as a teacher soon after graduation. Upon the closing of the Institute, in 1902, she was appointed an assistant in the Octavius V. Catto School.
With the passing of the Catto School, she was transferred to the Durham School. Here her efficient work let to her appointment as teacher in the grammar department.
On the ninth of December, 1912, Miss Bassett was suddenly called from her labors. Her death, so sudden and unexpected, was indeed a great shock to the community.
She was a woman of rare intellectual attainments, well versed as a linguist, especially in French, genial and amiable in manner, yet firm in controlling, kind and courteous to all. She was indeed the distinguished daughter of her distinguished father.
Her very presence was a benediction. She was in truth the most beloved of us all.
Requiescat in Pace.
