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.
