Notes

Note: He was featured in this 1912 biography: "Among the advanced, progressive and studious farmers of Linn county Stephen F. Baskett holds a high rank, being regarded, not only in his own township of Clay, but throughout the county as one of the leading men in his business. He began farming on his own account at the age of twenty-one, and has been engaged in this occupation ever since. He has therefore had long experience in the business, and he has, in addition, made a study of it and kept in touch with its advancement in every way.
Mr. Baskett is a native of Sullivan county, Missouri, and was born near Fields' Mill on November 28, 1867. His parents, George P. and Mary E. (Fields) Baskett, were also born in Missouri, the former in Sullivan county and the latter in Linn county. The father's life began in 1845. He was educated there, and in 1862, when he was but seventeen years of age, enlisted in defense of the Union in Company A, Twenty-third Missouri Volunteer Infantry. The regiment was soon in the midst of hostilities and was kept in active field service to the end of the war. Mr. Baskett took part in the battle of Shiloh and many other important engagements.
After the close of the war he returned home and changed his residence to Linn county a few years later. He died here on March 19, 1888. The mother is still living. Of the ten children born to them seven are living, and all of them are residents of Linn county. The father served as township clerk and in other local offices. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a man of prominence and influence in this township, and was regarded as one of its most estimable citizens.
The grandfather, Stephen J. Baskett, came to Missouri from Kentucky when he was a young man and located in Sullivan county. He was a merchant and farmer. Late in life he came to Linn county, and here he died well advance in years. He was thrice married, his first wife being a Miss Slaughter, who was a native of Howard county, this state. They became the parents of two sons and four daughters.
Stephen F. Baskett was brought by his parents to Linn county at an early age. He grew to manhood here and was educated in the district schools. At the age of twenty-one he started his life work as a farmer, and he has never had or sought any other occupation. This has been entirely to his taste, and he has so conducted his operations in it that he has made it very profitable in a pecuniary way, and secured for himself a high and widespread reputation for his capacity and skill as a farmer.
On February 21, 1892, Mr. Baskett was united in marriage with Miss Martha E. Smith, a daughter of Daniel Smith, who was born in Ohio and became a resident of Linn county in 1876. No children have been born of the union. Mr. Baskett takes an active interest in the public affairs of his township and county. He has served as township collector, and in other ways has rendered the locality of his home excellent and valued service. He is always zealous and energetic in promoting the progress of this part of the state, and his zeal and energy are at all times guided by intelligence and inspired by an earnest desire for the lasting good and general welfare of the community. Fraternally he is a member of the Order of Odd Fellows, and his wife belongs to the Methodist Episcopal church, which he also attends. They both take an active part in church work. Mr. Baskett has ever been a great lover of music, and for a number of years taught vocal music at nights in connection with his farm work, and still takes an active part in drilling voices for special work. He is also warm and practical in the support of his fraternity. Every interest of the county has his ardent aid, and no duty of citizenship is too burdensome for his faithful performance of it, or too small for his attention. He is one of the most representative men in his township.
