Frank L. Bassett, D.D.S. - The profession of dentristry, always held in merited honor, but in recent years recognized as of vital importance to the physical well-being of the human race, has an able representative in Dr. Bassett, a native son of Salem, New Jersey, where he has resided throughout most of his lifetime, although his professional headquarters are located in Philadelphia, where he has built up a large, lucrative and constantly increasing clientele.
Frank L. Bassett was born in Salem, New Jersey, January 21, 1855, son of Edward H. and Hannah P. (Smith) Bassett, and grandson of Elisha and Mary (Nicholson) Bassett. Frank L. Bassett obtained his early educatioin in the Friends' School at Salem, and then attended Swarthmore College, from which he was graduated, with the degree of Bachelor of Science, in 1876. He then entered Philadelphia Dental College and three years later received his degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery from this institution. Completing his studies, he established himself in the general practice of his profession at Seventeenth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, and has continued at this location up to the present time (1925), covering a period of forty-six years. Gradually he has advanced along lines which have brought him substantial returns and in all he has been actuated by a spirit that recognizes the fact that efficiency and capability are the only qualities which really entitle one to advancement.
Dr. Bassett is a director in the Salem National Bank and Trust Company; is a Republican in politics, and has served in the Borough Council, while a resident of Swarthmore; and his religious affiliation is with the Friends.
At Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 23, 1881, Dr. Frank L. Bassett married Anne E. Hallowell, daughter of John E. and Anna (Townsend) Hallowell. Dr. and Mrs. Bassett are the parents of three children: Norman, who married Margaret G. Bassett; Arthur E. who married Vernon Waddell, and has three children: Virginia, James and Barbara; and Herbert T., who married Mary Ramsey.
