\nGeorge T. Bassett Dead
\nArrangements for Funeral Next Thursday Afternoon<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 George T. Bassett, a clerk in the pension office, died last night at home, 627 Maryland avenue northeast. Although Mr. Bassett, who was the son of the late Capt. Isaac Bassett, for many years doorkeeper of the United States Senate, had been ill of late, death was unexpected.<\/p>\n
The deceased was born in this city and resided here all his life. His wife, formerly Miss Ellen Treadway of Pontiac, Mich., and two daughters, Mrs. William D. Runner of Mount Union, Pa., and Miss Lillian Bassett of this city, survive him.<\/p>\n
Mr. Bassett was a Mason, being affiliated with Hiram Lodge, No. 10, F.A.A.M.; Columbia Commandery, No.2, K.T. and the Mystic Shrine. He was also a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants. During the civil war Mr. Bassett with a number of other young men of this city formed Company A, District Volunteers, and Col. Tower\u2019s battalion, and during the ensuing years of the war was an officer in the commissary department.<\/p>\n
The funeral will be under Masonic auspices next Thursday afternoon. Rev. Dr. Albert Evans, pastor of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, 4th<\/sup> and B streets southeast, and Hiram Lodge will be in charge. Interment will be in Rock Creek cemetery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lillie Bassett descends from\u00a0 #3B Thomas Bassett of Connecticut as follows: Thomas Bassett (b. 1598) and wife Joanna Beardsley Thomas Bassett (b. 1650) and wife Sarah Baldwin Josiah Bassett (b. 1690) and wife Alice Canfield Samuel Bassett (b. 1723) and … Continue reading
