Splendid Tribute to Harry Bassett.

The current issue of the Dean Meg
aphone, published blythe students of
Dean academy at Franklin, Mass,
contains the following regarding the
late Harry Bassett, former student
there, graduating IN 1911:
Death chose a shining mark when
it sent its shaft to take the life of
Harry Lee Bassett, member of this
class, loved and honored by all who
knew him. He died Friday, Jan. "a,
at his home in Orleans, VT, after an
illness of u days with influenza. Har-
~ was born Oct. "a, 1890, at Barton,
VT, one of twin brothers. His twin,
Harold, was a student at Gushing
while Harry was here The family
early moved to the next town, Or
leans, Vt, where most of his life was
spent. He entered Dean in the fall of
1910, and for two years was a loyal
and helpful student in every way. He
was prominent in athletics, playing
on both football and baseball teams for
two years. His rugged physique and
powerful body made him especially
strong in these lines. He was, more
over, a good student, and was quick
in all his intellectual processes. He
| had a fine face and splendid figure,
and though quiet and almost shy in
| disposition, he made strong and last
ing friends. He could always be re-
| lied upon to help in every school &C
tivity and was one of the most popu-
lar students of his day. Every Dean
! tie who reads this will, we know, echo
/ the words of some who have already
heard of his death: 'one of the best
boys that ] ever knew
after leaving Dean he gave up the
plan of entering college and went to
Z 81. OIL E+n~ = he
fall of 1912, and was made assistant
postmaster in 1916. Nov. 10, 1915, he
married Inez Elizabeth Waterman of
Barre, who survives him, together
with two daughters, Marjorie Water
man, born Feb. 6, 1917, and Betsey
Celinda, born Jan. Is, 1919. His father
and mother, three sisters and two
brothers also survive him. In recent
years he has been very much interest
ed in agriculture and took much pride
in improving a tract of land on the
outskirts of Orleans. He enjoyed
work and had capacity for it which
seemed to know no fatigue, his rug
ged strength of football days stand
ing by him. He was fond of hunting
and with his dog and gun made his
recreation.
Attractive in disposition, his fine
traits of character grew on you more
and more as you came to know him
better. Ruggedly honest, he was not
afraid to express his mind on sub
iect. or stand for his convictions. He
was very loval to his family, his
home. his school and his work. A
host of Dean friends will be sorry tt
learn of his death, but will have
pleasant memories of having known
; him as a friend A neighbor associa
ted with him in Masonic matters ex
pressed the feeling of all: Harry
was an honor to his order, an honor tt
his town. and an honor to the govern
ment which he served"
