In Alfred Center, N. Y., Sept. 13, 1891, Esther, wife of B. S. Bassett, in the 60th year of her age.
For seven years she has been a great sufferer, perhaps more in mind than in body, but paralysis opened the door and let the imprisoned spirit go to its rest. In early life she became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Independence, but on changing her residence to Alfred Center she became a member of that church, with which she remained in fellowship until death. We remember her in health as a most cheerful wife and mother. She has left a husband, six sons, one daughter, three sisters, and a large circle of other relatives. She was brought to Independence for her funeral and burial. J. K.
