He served in the Civil War as lieutenant of Hampton's Battery, remaining at the front for three years. His father, George Bassett, was for many years captain of the steamboat Flora, making trips between Pittsburgh and New Orleans. James Bassett is now deceased, his death occurring August 19, 1902, when he was sixty-six years of age.
