George T. Bassett, a clerk in the pension office, died last night at home, 627 Maryland avenue northeast. Although Mr. Bassett, who was the son of the late Capt. Isaac Bassett, for many years doorkeeper of the United States Senate, had been ill of late, death was unexpected.

Mr. Bassett was a Mason, being affiliated with Hiram Lodge, No. 10, F.A.A.M.; Columbia Commandery, No.2, K.T. and the Mystic Shrine. He was also a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants. During the civil war Mr. Bassett with a number of other young men of this city formed Company A, District Volunteers, and Col. Tower?s battalion, and during the ensuing years of the war was an officer in the commissary department.
The funeral will be under Masonic auspices next Thursday afternoon. Rev. Dr. Albert Evans, pastor of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, 4th and B streets southeast, and Hiram Lodge will be in charge. Interment will be in Rock Creek cemetery.
