Obituary
SISTER BASSETTI
Sister Jessie Bassetti, who died at a private hospital at Cremorne, on 30th October, was well known to many Penrith residents. She went, through her training at Nepean District Hospital under Matron Major West, many years ago. During the Great War, practically the whole of the staff of the Hospital (five in all) enlisted for active service, Sister Bassetti being one of the number. The others wore:—Matron Major West, and Nurses D.. Baker, Greentree, and Seahill.
After serving on the other side for a considerable period, Sister Bassetti returned to Sydney. On the way home she suffered an injury from which she never recovered, and died, as stated, after a very long and painful illness. Deceased was well liked by all who knew her, because of her very bright nature.
The funeral took place this Friday, the remains being laid to rest in the Church of England portion of the Rookwood cemetery.
