One of the most prominent physicians in Otsego county, Dr. W.T. Bassett, died October 3d, at his home in Cooperstown, aged 84 years. During his whole practice he had done a great deal of charitable work and the poor people ever found him a friend in need. At the time of the civil war the returning soldiers were treated free of charge and while these soldiers were absent their families were given the doctor's best care and no charge was made. For many years he was the attendant physician at the Orphanage, making no charge for his services. [Bainbridge Republican, Oct. 12, 1905]
