A Testimonial
One of life's sad surprises and of society's losses has befallen the community of Sharon, in the death of C.W. Bassett, on Thursday, March 17th. Besides filling other important positions of responsibility and trust, he had, for many years been one of the fifteen trustees of the Hotchkiss Library Association, and a member of its Executive Committee. In both his official and personal relation to this institution he has shown full and faithful devotion. In practical service and in matters of counsel he has been an invaluable friend and helper. And, in full accord with the foregoing the remaining members of the Board of Trustees wish, hereby to record their high appreciation of his service and their keen sense of loss in his removal. And they also wish to assure the members of his family, of their sincere sympathy with them in their loss and sorrow.
