Death Calls Three Beloved Adams Women
WASHTUCNA, Feb. 9, -(Special to Journal-Times)- Mrs. Mary Clementine Hail Bassett, prominent pioneer matron, church and community worker, friend to rich and poor alike, who has lived in Washtucna the past 13 years, was called by the angel of death at 3:30 a.m. Friday.
Funeral services were held at the United Presbyterian church Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, the Rev. R. H. Gordon officiating. The body was laid to rest in the family plot at Walla Walla. Six charter members of Washtucna chapter Eastern Star-Mrs. J. W. Sitton, Mrs. J. H. Gill, Mrs. Art Shugart, Mrs. Levi Sutton, Mrs. J. C. Nunamaker, Mrs. John Nunamaker-acting as honorary pall
bearers.
An acute heart attack was the direct cause of her death. She was born in Billings, Missouri, in 1877, coming to Washtucna in 1898, and was 54 years of age. Among her fraternal affiliations were the Eastern Star, of which she was a charter member, the Royal Neighbors, the
U. P. Missionary society, and the Ladies of the Round Table club.
Mrs. Bassett is survived by her husband, L. L., prominent hardware merchant and for many years mayor of Washtucna; a son, Robert H. of Los Angeles; three daughters, Esther of Washtucna, Gertrude, (Mrs. Lloyd Bury) of Pullman, and Louise, now a student at W. S. C. She is also survived
by three sisters, Mrs. Nannie Saul, Tulsa, Okla.; Mrs. Meda Willis, Chandler, Okla.; and Mrs. G. W. Volz, Long Beach, Calif.; and by three brothers, A. J. and W. W. Haile, Spokane, and Daniel Haile, Portland.
While Mrs. Bassett has been in ill health for a number of years she had that indomitable courage that no amount of ill fortune could down, making her death a complete shock to the community who is not indebted to her for past kindnesses. The attendance at her funeral was one
of the largest in the history of the town and the beautiful floral offerings show in part the esteem in which she was held.
