Obituary
Mr. Francis Rendell Bassett
The news of the death of Mr. Francis (Frank) Bassett, which occurred at his residence, Norther Road, Roma late on Tuesday afternoon, came as a shock to his relatives and friends. He was 63 years of age, third son of the late Mr. and Mrs. S.S. Bassett, who established the widely known Roma Villa Vineyards. He was born at Roma, and after leaving school spent most of his life superintending the vineyard and cultivation. He was an enthusiastic gardener and fisherman and a keen follower of other sporting activities.
He was married, his wife having predeceased him, and is survived by five daughters, Mrs. Best (Victorin), Mrs. Lambert (St. George), Mrs. Ron Pryor (Roma), Mrs. Goodwin (Sydney) and Mrs. Martin (Tweed Heads), also four brothers, Messrs, W.A., S.S., Lionel and Ken, and two sisters, Mrs. Carlisle and Mrs. Ponting. The funeral moved from St. Paul?s Church of England on Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended by residents of town and district.
