Myrta S. Bliss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Bliss, was born in Richburg. N. Y., April 15, 1866, and died in the Bethesda Hospital, Hornell, September 27, 1949, after a lingering illness.
On September 14, 1886, she was married to William H. Bassett, with whom she built the happy home. She spent her entire life in unselfish service to the Church and community; she was ever quick and hearty in her response to human need and suffering from whatever source need came. She had a host of friends as well as her immediate family, who will sorely miss her. She is survived by her husband; three sons, Leon B., W. Donald of Canton, Ohio, Robert B. of Darlington, Pa; one daughter, Mrs. James Evans; one sister, Miss Edna Bliss, and one brother, Dr. T. Coit Bliss.
Mrs. Bassett took advantage of educational opportunities offered by Alfred University and thus prepared herself to fill well the many calls made upon her time and talents. Her loss will be deeply felt.
Farewell services were conducted in the Church before a large congregation, and the body was laid to rest in the Alfred Rural Cemetery.
