      Frant
      Death of Mr. Henry Bassett

      We regret to announce the death of Mr. Henry Bassett, a life long resident of Frant, which occurred yesterday morning, the immediate cause of death being gout, from which he had been a sufferer for many years. Sixteen years ago he succe3eded his father at the George Hotel; and as a business man and holder of various public appointments he enjoyed great popularity. For many years he had been a representative of Frant on the Ticehurst Rural Council and Board of Guardians, and a member of the Frant Parish Council since the passing of the Act. He was the time of his decease an assistant overseer in the parish, an office he had held for a great many years. He was secretary of St. Alban?s Court of Oddfellows, and a member of the Licensed Victualler?s Association. He is survived by a widow and large family, with whom the greatest sympathy is felt. The funeral will take place on Monday. At yesterday?s meeting of the Ticehurst Board of Guardians and Rural Council, the chairman (Mr. E.J. Noakes), alluding to the sad occurrence, said that Mr. Bassett, who was present at the last meeting of the Board was a most useful member. He proposed a vote of condolence with the widow and family, and this was seconded by Mr. A.A. Wace, who said the deceased was a man of sound judgement and a good colleague. The board unanimously endorsed the suggestion.
