Mark Bassett, an Englishman, who came to Kings county from Fresno county
in 1895 and has achieved more than state-wide reputation as a breeder of
stock, hogs and poultry. Among his children was William George Bassett,
who was born in England, October 9, 1876, and is successfully farming
eighty acres of his father's land at Armona, twenty-five acres being in
vines and most of the remainder in orchard, his principal horticultural
products being apricots and peaches. He also give some attention to
farming.
In the affairs of his community Mr. Bassett is patriotically interested
and he is now filling the office of deputy sheriff by appointment of
L.D. Farmer and is serving in his second term as trustee in the Armona
school district. Fraternally he affiliates with the Hanford organization
of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
In May, 1903, Mr. Bassett married Miss Chloe Pursell, of Hanford, Cal.
who has borne him three daughters, who are here named in the order of
their nativity; Mildred Irene, Wilma Helen and Marjorie Ethel.
