      Robert E. Bassett Drops Dead Monday
      While planning some boards in a shop at the rear of his home on East Fourth street about 6:30 o'clock on Monday evening, Robert L. Bassett, a well known employee of the Irving Drew Co., dropped dead. His brother, Tom, who, at the time was standing in the door, watching Robert at his work, thought that he had just fainted and could be restored in a short time. He hastened for water, but that being useless, called Doctor Gault. When the doctor arrived the man had expired. He pronounced the death due to heart failure.
      As the evening was warm and Bassett had been working steadily since his return from the Irving Drew factory on some steps of a neighbor's which he was repairing, Thomas Bassett thought that he had merely suffered a fainting spell. When the knowledge of Robert's death reached the rest of Bassett family, they were terribly shocked. The realization that Robert had died was almost too much for them.
      Thomas, who saw his brother fall, and who immediately rushed to his side, says of the accident: "I was watching my brother when he suddenly appeared to be dizzy, and almost before I knew it, he had staggered and fallen."
      The circumstances are extraordinarily touching when the age of the stricken man is taken into consideration. He was but a few days past 23, and seemingly had many years of usefulness ahead of him.
      In the local chapter of the order of Ben Hur, he had attained the highest position. At the time of his death he was past chief of the organization. In his position at the Irving Drew factory he was one of that company's most valuable men. That he would have been promoted is an assured fact, when officials of the Irving Drew factory speak of him in terms which show the respect and appreciation which they hold for Bassett. That he was a conscientious and thoughtful man is readily seen in the fact that a few minutes before his death he was repairing the steps on a neighbor's house.
      A young man of firm character and friendly disposition, he will be mourned by a host of friends and acquaintances.
      He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Bassett, of East Fourth street. His father is a prominent employe of the Wait-Fuller Cabinet Co. Besides his parents he leaves five brothers, Floyd. Lewis, Daniel, Thomas and Alex Bassett, who reside in Steubenville, O., and four sisters, Mrs. Netti Lurty of Cincinnati, Mrs. Lulu Schopp, Youngstown, and Jessie Bassett, at home.
      Robert Bassett was also, besides a member of local prominence in the lodge of Ben Hur, a prominent member of the local order of Red Men.
