- Mrs. J.E. Bassett
Word has been received here of the Spokane death of Mrs. J.E. (Jane Olive) Bassett, a 1910 honor graduate of Whitman College, a long-time Inland Empire teacher and sister-in-law of Mrs. Harold Crawford of Walla Walla.
She was the mother of Joseph E. Bassett, Jr. of Roseburg, Oregon, formerly of Walla Walla, and Mary Grace Bassett, a well known newspaperwoman in Washington, D.C. Her son and daughter are both graduates of Whitman. A granddaughter, Judy Bassett, of Roseburg, is a student at the college.
Mrs. Bassett, 80, died in her sleep at a Spokane hospital Saturday night. Graveside services will be at noon Wednesday at Greenwood Memorial Terrace, Spokane. A memorial service will be observed Thursday evening at St. John's Episcopal Church in Okanogan, where she had resided 35 years.
Born in Pennsylvania, she came to Eastern Washington in the 1890s after her father, the Reverend John D. Jones, a Congregationalist minister, completed his divinity studies at Yale. The family lived in Ritzville, Medical Lake, Dayton and Spokane before her graduation from Whitman and her marriage in 1922.
