From the "Wheeling Centennial" page 8, it states that the Post Office was located on Grant Street and that "it was built about at same time Tharp and Littrell store [1903] and was moved here by Wid Edmonson in 1903 followed by Hugh White 1911, Horace Bassett, 1922 and Charley Hawker in 1923." On page 11 the Centennial confirms that he was the Postmaster for 1922, and that he participated, with his brother "Linn", in a "Street Fair and Carnival 1904" and is noted in a photograph as "boy with cigarette, Hod Bassett". On page 38, "Rank, name and year of birth of boys in World War I, Horace P. Bassett."

From the notes of W. H. Morrison, "May 18, 1874 - Frank Bassett and Alice Scruby were married at Wheeling". This is a typographical error and should be 1879. From "Livingston County, Missouri Marriage Records, Book 2 1863-1880 page 40 records the marriage date as "May 18, 1879 Frank H. Bassett married Alice M. Scruby". This marriage date is verified by the 1910 census.
From the "Missouri Historical Review" April 1963, article titled A Study of Confusion: Missouri's Immigration Program 1865-1916, page 253, "The Hannibal and St. Joseph received 600,000 acres in land grants. It set up a land office in Hannibal in 1859, which offered liberal, long-term credit to prospective buyers." Wheeling is located directly on this railroad line.
The "Wheeling Centennial" page 7, states that a gas station was located at the intersection of Grant and 2nd Street and that the "operators were Frank Basset,.." and 3 other men before it was torn down. On page 9, it states that after November 1921, "an oil station was erected on the site [Grant and 3rd Streets] which was operated by Bassett and Boone" as well 8 other men. On page 20, in a group photograph "Methodist Church about 1908" included "Mrs. F. Bassett".

From Frank’s death certificate, filed in Riverside County, CA, he was a resident of the town where he died [Arlington] for 5 years, making his departure from Missouri about 1931. His total time in California was also 5 years. The certificate shows that they lived on Jones Street, Arlington, but since no number was given it could have been before the houses were numbered. He was a retired salesman for “Harvester Co.” for whom he worked for 15 years. He suffered the onset of “arteriosclerosis general” in 1930, “arteriosclerosis cerebral” in 1936 and finally “cerebral thrombosis” July 10 1936. His doctor certified that he attended Frank for the period June 15, 1936 to July 24, 1936, and last saw him alive on July 22, 1936. He died at 3:45 am on the morning of 23 July 1936. His son Horace provided information on the certificate showing Riverside as his address. Frank was cremated at the Evergreen Cemetery, Riverside on 27 July 1936. Alice is named as his widow.

Secretary, Chamber of Commerce
F. H. BASSETT, Hardware, Implements, Harness and Automobiles.
Of the several merchandise establishments in Wheeling, and one of the most popular and efficiently conducted, is that of F. H. Bassett. This store has for three years catered to the trade of the people who demand particular merchandise, quality goods and better service. that they have found it in the service offered by Mr. Bassett is attested by the large volume of business done annually, and which has shown a gratifying increase each year, for the standards set have always been maintained, quality upheld and service bettered. Mr. Bassett handles a choice line of hardware from the Wyeth Hardware Company, of St. Joseph, and the Diamond Edge Queensware, Copper Clad Ranges, and Buck Ranges and Heaters. This concern makes a specialty of I. H. C., Hays, Rock Island and Janesville implements, Studebaker and Moline wagons, Regal automobiles, and a line of Farm Home Paint, the kind that has stood the test of service and dependability. One of the largest departments of this establishment is the harness manufacturing department, where he makes all the harness he sells necessary machinery being installed for doing efficient work in which none but the very best grades of leather is used. Bassett's harness wears and gives satisfaction. Promptness is filling orders and getting repair work done on time has been a feature of his business. He also carries a large stock of everything needed for a horse: collars, whips, robes, blankets, harness oil, combs, etc., and at a price that is as low as the lowest. Mr. Bassett has made his store a real business asset of the town and has also been, during the three years of his business connections, one of Wheeling's most enterprising and progressive business men and public spirited citizen's, always ready to enlist with his time and influence in any project that was for the general good of the town and community.

He failed to convince because he had never before delivered the goods. The people in this vicinity have learned what we say about our goods is absolutely true. That when we say we have the only line of Binders, Mowers and Rakes for which a full line of parts are carried here, not in Illinois nor New York, but in Chillicothe. There is no doubt of it, we have always delivered the goods. When we say we have the finest line of vehicles in North Missouri, we mean it. Scruby Bros. Grain and Implement Co. Chillicothe, Mo.

An Exciting Experience. From the Chula News. Mrs. W. E. Bassett and Mrs. Jas. Graham, while taking a pleasure ride in Mrs. Bassett’s Ford touring car Tuesday evening, had quite an exciting experience one mile west of town when they discovered the car was on fire. As luck seemed to be in their favor a hurry call was make by Mrs. Chas. Seigrist by phone to Mr. Bassett who lost no time in securing the service of Dick Lightner and his Ford car taking with them two hand fire extinguishers and arriving in time to put out the fire before any serious damage was done. From all indications the fire was caused by a leak in the carburetor and an open exhaust. The damage is estimated at $15. One thing most of motor car owners overlook is not carrying one of the handy fire extinguishers in their tool box.
