      Biographical Sketches, Harrison Township
      I.J. Bassett, County Commissioner, Dayton, was born in Leicestershire, England, September 10, 1837. He is the son of George W. and Harrieett (Knight) Bassett, natives of the above place. The father came to America in 1844, and worked in Maryland until 1850, when he came to Dayton and engaged in the business of horse farrier, in which he is still engaged. The rest of the family, which consisted of the mother, three boys and three girls, emigrated in 1847. Our subject attended the common schools of Maryland until 1857, when he came to Montgomery County, and, after working as a farm hand for two years, commenced farming for himself, in which occupation he still continues. He has been twice married, first to Miss Elizabeth Putterbaugh, daughter of George Putterbaugh, of Dayton, who died in 1863, leaving three children, one boy and two girls. He was married, in 1869, to Lydia Connectt, daughter of Woodruff Connect of Athens County, Ohio, by whom he has had two children, only one of whom survives. Mr. Bassett is a man of considerable ability and great popularity, as is evinced by the fact that he has been County Commissioner since 1877, and was a Trustee of Harrison Township, in which he lives, for eight years, previous to his election. He is a member of the Odd Fellows fraternity only.
