Jan 1890
Philo P. Bassett, the youngest son of Samuel and Betsey Bassett, was
born in Bergen, August 26, 1834, and at the age of 20 began life for himself,
choosing the occupations of carpenter, joiner, and painter, which he followed
successfully till 1877. February 25, 1859, he married Harriet W., daughter of
William H. and Frances E. Keytes, of Owosso, Mich. In 1877 he commenced the
undertaking business in this town, being located then one block south of his
present place of business. Just before the big fire of March 1, 1880, he had
removed to the building just south of the Bergen Hotel, and thus escaped. The
latter part of 1885 he removed his business to the Carpenter & McKenzie block.
He deals in funeral furniture, artists' materials, pictures and frames,
stationery, etc., and is a funeral director. As an undertaker he is successful
and worthily very popular, and his business has largely extended to neighboring
towns.
