NOTES:
Stephen Hicks Bassett was a graduate of Emory College, Oxford, GA. He met
his wife Maud there during their college days. Following their marriage in
1884, they spent their lives in the Ft. Valley area. They had a large
family, with 9 children, 4 of whom died in childhood.

Stephen and Maud lived at "the Claxton place" early in their marriage. In
1891, he purchased the "Bassett Homeplace" (on Taylor's Mill Road, Fort
Valley) from his father, Stephen Elisha, and a second generation of Bassett
children grew up there as their father farmed the large property. In their
later years, they owned and operated the Bassett Hotel in downtown Fort
Valley (formerly known as the Watson House). The purchase of the hotel
occurred in 1918 and according to old letters, (*) was run as a boarding
house.

France during WWI.
