Death removed from Swansea, on Monday, a well known resident, in the person of Mr. Watler Gwyn Basestt, landloard of the New Recruit Inn, Orchard-street, at the early age of 31.
Deceased, who was a married man, and leaves a widow and one child, had been ailing for a couple of years, and only recently returned from Mendip Hills Sanatorium, where he had been for treatment for a period of four months. Whilst away two of his children died.
