William Henry Bassett
William Henry Bassett, 79 years old, who died early Sunday morning from injuries received in a fall on June 26, was buried Tuesday in Greenwood Cemetery following funeral services at the S.O. Wylie Bell Home for funerals.
Mr. Bassett received two broken ribs and other severe injuries when he fell down a flight of stairs after going to the attic to close a window during a severe thunder storm. His condition grew gradually worse following the incident.
Mr. Bassett was a life long resident of Bloomfield Township. Born on Fourteen Mile road, he moved to the village 25 years ago, and had lived here ever since. He had served under the same employers for the past 45 years.
His wife preceded him in death nine years ago. Surviving are two sons, Mark S. of Chicago and J. Wylie of Detroit; and three daughters, Mrs. S.E. McKinney, Miss Carrie E. Bassett and Mrs. Kate B. Cook all of Birmingham.
