Bassett: Harry Bassett, 76, of Dallas, Tex., a former resident of Silver City,
died Thursday afternoon in the Baylor Hospital in Dallas. He and Mrs. (Bertha)
Bassett for the past six years had made their home in Dallas where their

Bassett had a bad fall about a year ago and broke a hip and had never
recovered from it.
Mr. Bassett came to Silver City in 1910, and in 1914 in association with his

Silver City Agency was sold to Ray Harris in 1945, and the Deming Agency was
disposed of in 1947. The Santa Rita Agency was closed about the same time. Mr.
Bassett is a past master of the Silver City Lodge No. 8 AF & AM. Survivors
