Death struck twice in the family of Dr. Wallace Bassett, pastor of Cliff Temple Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon within two hours when his wife, Mrs. Lottie Bassett, 52 years old, died after a short illness and his brother was killed in an accident in Missouri.
Mrs. Bassett was stricken gravely ill at 4 p.m. Sunday and died a short time after reaching Baylor Hospital. She attended the morning services at Cliff Temple and planned to attend the night service. Her husband was near when she became violently ill and soon lost consciousness.
Dr. Bassett’s brother, the Reverend George H. Bassett, 60, pastor of First Christian Church at Moberly, Missouri, was killed when his car and a motor train collided at a crossing twelve miles east of that city as he was en route to Middle Grove to hold services. The car was dragged 100 yards.
