MRS. BASSETT DIES
 IN HER 9TH YEAR
Widow of Former Mayor Lived
 Here 40 Years

Mrs. Jennie Smith Bassett, widow Of the late ex-mayor, Samuel Bas- sett, died at the old Bassett home stead at 210 Chestnut street last night after an illness Of about two weeks at the New Britain General hospital. She had been a resident of this city for about 40 years prior to her death which came in her 87th year.
 Mrs. Bassett was born in New York state, November 9, 1840. the daughter of the late Philip and Mary Smith, and spent her early years in that state. During the Civil War period she married the late Samuel Bassett, and a few days after the marriage he entered the service of the Union forces. Their wedding trip was spent at the battle front.
 Mir Bassett had the unusual dis tincton of being first selectman and mayor at the same time. As a resident of this city covering a long period until his death, he was a paymaster for P. S1 F. Corbin. His wife was active in many of the so- ciaI affairs but her greatest inter- est was in the First Baptist church where until about two years ago when her health confined her to her home, she spent hours working in it's behalf.
 Since the day Of her husbands death on August II. 1911, she lived alone in her home on Chest nut street.
 Her brother. SiIas ". Smith of Peekskill, N. Y, survives her as do several nieces and nephews.
 The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at her late residence. Rev. William Ross, pastor of the First Baptist church. will oficiate. Burial will be in Fairview cemetery.
