George B. Bassett's Will
By the will of the late George B. Bassett just admitted to probate, his sisters, Sarah M. Bassett and Elizabeth M. Hall will receive during their lives the income from about $75,000. At their death this amount is to be divided equally between the hospital and the New Haven Orphan Asylum. The gift to the hospital endows two free beds to be known as the Bassett beds. A cousin of the deceased, Cornelia Bassett of Hamden, receives one $1,000 bond of the New Haven and Northampton railroad as a gift, and $500 is given to St. Thomas' church, the income to be expended in buying books for the Sunday school library.
