Death of Louis Bassett
Louis Bassett, father of Mrs. L.J. Bergeron, died Monday afternoon at the home of his daughter over the “Home Bakery” on the west side of the square.
Mr. Bassett had been sick since last January with heart and lung trouble. He was born in France 72 years ago and came to America about 50 years ago, landing in Nebraska in 1883 near Hastings. Here he lived about 22 years and then moved to Hebron and from there to Fairbury about two years ago. Since the death of his wife he has lived with his daughter. Besides Mrs. Bergeron there are three other children.
A brief service was held at the home here over the remains by Father Carey of St. Michael’s church Wednesday afternoon, after which the body was taken to Hastings for final ceremonies and burial.
