Obituary:
After a lingering illness Amelia Gassette died at the Presbyterian hospital. August 22, 1920.
Mrs. Gassette was an early settler of Chicago coming here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Boggs, in the early 1840's. For many years she was president of the board of managers of the Chicago Orphan asylum and was officially connected with the Baptist Denominational Home Mission Work. She and her step-daughter went to Paris, France, over twenty years ago, where they have since made their home. She was president of the Woman's Guild of the American Church in Paris for years, and during the war did much Red Cross work at the American Ambulance for which she received decorations.
Living in Washington D.C. during the civil war and in Paris during the world war brought into her life two great enochs.
She was a woman of great mental grasp and executive ability with gracious social qualities which went to her many friends.
Besides her daughter, Grace Gassette, who did much creative work in inventing many appliances for wounded soldiers for which she was decorated with the Legion of Honor of France, she leaves three sisters: Mrs. W.R. Doty, Mrs. C.R. Stouffer, Mrs. A.C. Lester, and a brother, George T. Boggs to mourn her loss.
