Biographical Review of Rockingham County, New Hampshire (1896)
George W. Bassett
George W. Bassett, a skillful farmer of Fremont, who has met with a fair share of success in his independent calling, is a native of this county, born Feb. 22, 1827, in the town of Epping. His father, Samuel Bassett, who was born in Vermont, in his early manhood settled in Epping, where he married Miss Hannah Peasley. Some time after he removed to Pittsfield, Merrimack County, and was there engaged in teaming and farming for the remainder of his active life. He passed his last days with his son, George W., in Fremont where his death occured June 19, 1872. His first wife, who bore him 4 children, died while in Pittsfield. He subsequently married Sarah Cram, a native of Pittsfield. The children of his first union were: Joseph, who died while serving the Union in the late war; John who is living in N.Y.; Mary Ann, now a resident of Calif; and George W., the subject of this sketch.
George W. Bassett began the battle of life when but 8 years of age. Going then to South Haven, this county, he worked on a farm until he was 18. He was afterward engaged in a different place as a farm laborer, and for some time sold charcoal, when he acquired the sobriquet of "Charcoal Bassett". At length by good management he had saved enough money to warrant him in buying his present farm. The property contains 150 acres. Since entering into possession he has made most of the improvements now to be seen on it, besides bringing the soil to a high state of productiveness. He carries on general agriculture, and continues to deal in charcoal. In politics he is a loyal and faithful Republican, never swerving from party allegiance.
He was married May 8, 1866 to Mrs. Sarah J. (Beede) Blaisdel. She was the widow of Albert Blaisdel and had one son, Albert B. Her father, a well known farmer of this locality, was also a lumber dealer. Mr. & Mrs. Bassett have 2 children; Joseph and George S. Joseph who married Eva Kimball, of Danville, has one child, George Albert; and he and his family live on the home farm. George S. is in business in Haverhill, Mass.
