He was apparently married twice in 1902. He married Bessie Geyett on 5 feb 1902. [142] This marriage was apparently short-lived because on 4 Oct 1902 he filed intentions to marry Fannie M. Mullen. [1570] He was apparently guilty of polygamy since his divorce from his first wife Myrtie was apparently not finalized until several years later on 27 Nov 1905. [1571]
He was living at 278 Central Ave. Lowell, MA at the time of his death. He was survived by a wife Fannie Mullin Bassford; two sisters, Mrs. Elsie Englison and Miss Addie Bassford of Devil’s Lake, ND; two brothers, Frederick and Madison Bassford of North Dakota; and several nieces and nephews. [1556]
[1300] gives the death of a George B. Bassford as 1918, Lee, MA. It is not clear this is the same person.
