      Joseph Bassett Dies Suddenly

      Joseph Bassett, aged about 75 years and a longtime resident of Newaygo died suddenly of heart trouble last Friday evening. Mr. Bassett, who had been spending the winter with relatives in Petoskey, arrived here on the evening train from the north, and had reached a point in front of the George Turner residence on his way home when stricken. T.C. Parsons and J.L. Herron, who were directly behind him when he fell, hastened to his aid and he was taken to the office of Dr. W.F. Pechuman, where it was found that death had been practically instantaneous.
      Mr. Bassett, who is a brother of Oliver Bassett, also of Newaygo, is survived by two sons and two daughters. The remains were taken to Charlevoix for burial beside his wife who died several years ago.
