  Madison Twp. -
SAMUEL BASORE, farmer; P. O. Trotwood, is a native of Lebanon Co., Pa.  He is a son of Benjamin and Mary Basore, both natives of the Keystone State.  Our subject’s early life was spent on the farm in a manner incident to youth.  But on arriving at the age of maturity, he learned the trade of cooper, which he followed for many years in Pennsylvania and for fourteen years after coming to this State.  About thirty-five years ago he was married to Lydia Fetters.  They are parents of eight children, viz.: Absolom, Sarah, Catharine, Susannah,
Lydia, Samuel and John living, and an infant deceased.  About twenty years ago Mr. Basore abandoned the trade of cooper and bought the farm of 100 acres on which he lives and devoted his energies to the raising of grain and stock.  He has added to his possessions a farm of 165 acres in Butler Township.  Mr. Basore’s success in life has been due entirely to his own exertions, and as we gaze with admiration on the granaries filled with the life giving products, we are constrained to say, by his labor, industry, perseverance and integrity he has made himself one of the substantial farmers of Madison Township.
