He was twenty-six years, four months and three days old and was widely known in Shelbyville where his death is mourned by many friends and close acquaintences. He was born August 9, 1900, the son of Morton and Mattie Bassett. His entire life had been spent in Shelbyville and his active career had been devoted to the vocation of a mechanic. For several years Mr. Bassett has been connected with Shelbyville garages and he was extensively known for his ability and knowledge of all kinds of mechanical equipment. The death of Mr. Bassett removes a young man of high qualities of character and ends a career that was due to go far in the annals of the city.

Arvel Emmert, pastor of the church of the Nazarene, will officiate and burial will be in the Miller cemetery in Hendricks township.
