      History of Boone County, Iowa, 1914
      Lemuel Arthur Bassett, M.D.
      Dr. Lemuel Arthur Bassett enjoys recognition as one of the able and successful medical practitioners of Boone, where he has followed his profession continously for the past eighteen years. His birth occurred in Oneida, Knox county, Illinois, on the 22d of December, 1867, his parents being George A. and Emma (Huggins) Bassett, likewise natives of the Prairie state. The father, who followed both farming and milling, resided in Taylor county, Iowa for a period of seventeen years and there erected a mill valued at twenty-four thousand dollars. The last years of his life were spent in Oregon, where he passed away in 1909. His widow survives and makes her home in that state. Unto them were born the following children: Lemuel A., of this review; Sanford, who is a resident of Mill City, Oregon; Edward, also living in Oregon; Brainard, who makes his home in Taylor county, Iowa; Mabel, who is wife of Frank Turner, of Independence, Oregon; and Fred, likewise of Oregon.
      Lemuel A. Bassett remained on the home farm in Taylor county, Iowa, for three years or until he was a young man of twenty, when the family home was established in Reece, Kansas. He spent three years as a student in the Southern Kansas Academy at Eureka and subsequently made his way to Knoxville, Illinois. In preparation for the practice of his chosen profession he pursued a course of study in Rush Medical College of Chicago, from which institution he was graduated at the end of three years or in 1896. On the 23rd of June of that year he came to Boone, Iowa, where he has practiced as a physician and surgeon throughout the intervening eighteen years with gratifying success. He has proven his ability in the successful treatment of innumberable cases, ably coping with the intricate problems which continually confront the physician in his efforts to restore health and prolong life. Dr. Bassett is a hospital director and enjoys an enviable reputation among his professional brethren.
      On the 19th of September, 1894, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Bassett and Miss Alice B. Brown, a native of Illinois. In his political views the Doctor is independent, supporting men and measures rather than party. His religious faith is that of the Presbyterian church. A man of high and pure ideals, he is well fitted to fill the intimate place which is naturally that of a family physician in any community, and in all relations of life, whether private or professional, he has been found a citizen of genuine worth.
