Breckinridge County News; 5/3/1899
Cal Basham Seccumbs After an Hour's Illness.

The Bewleyville neighborhood and practically the entire county was shocked at the
sudden death of Cal Basham last Friday night.

The circumstances preceding his death were peculiarly saddening.  On Friday night a
heavy hail storm passed in the neighborhood of Mr. Basham's home, and when it was
over he went out into the yard and picked up some of the stones.

When he came in he seated himself in a chair and complained of feeling cold. 
Blankets were procured and wrapped about him.  After an hour's illness he died.  He
was buried early Sunday morning at the Willis Hardin cemetery.

He was one of the best known men in the Bewleyville section and the sad event has
cast a gloom over the whole neighborhood.







Additional Comments:
The Willis Hardin cemetery is also known as the Benjamin Hardin cemetery, Kasey #1,
and Willis Y. Hardin cemetery.
