Obituary of William Bassett
William Bassett died at his home in Coudersport at 7 p.m., December 12, 1900 from enteric (typhoid fever). Some days previous to the big flood, Mr. Bassett who had been very sick, had recovered sufficiently to be able to walk about the house that day. He exposed himself to the cold air by standing in an open doorway and suffered a relapse, which brought about his death. Born in Coudersport 46 years ago and with exception of ten years spent in Canisteo, where he learned the mason trade, has been a resident ever since. Twenty-two years ago he married Orvilla Goodsell, daughter of Mrs. & Mrs. Albert Goodsell. She, with one daughter survive. Also, four brothers and four sisters and an aged father survive. Funeral held from house Friday, December 14. Greatly missed in this place.
