In the 1891 Chicago city directory he was listed as a salesman at the wholesale operation of Marshall Field. By 1910 he was listed as a clerk, and by 1917 he was a department manager. [1936]

Mary Hansen, female, servant, age 43b, Norway, father b. Norway, mother b. Norway
Augusta Larson, female, servant, age 35, b. Sweden, father b. Sweden, mother b. Sweden
He is probably the Lowell C. Bassford, age 56, who arrived at Ellis Island on 2 Jun 1922 on the ship “George Washington” which sailed from Southampton, England. He was traveling with his wife Grace W. Bassford, age 53. They are listed as being U. S. citizens, and their residence was given as Chicago, IL. [1938]
He was the earliest investor in the Upton Machine Company, predecessor to Whirlpool. [1936]
He is probably the L. C. Bassford, age 63, listed in the LaPorte Co., Indiana Obituary Index (Herald-Argus, 8 Oct 1928 ). [1939]
The census records are inconsistent with regard to the year of his birth. His age is given as 14 in the 1880 census (implying that he was born about 1866), which is a little off from the birthdate of Jun 1863 given in the 1900 census. His birthplace is given as Illinois in 1880, and Minnesota in 1900. In the 1910 and 1920 census his age is given as 44 and 53, respectively, and his birthplace as Minnesota. This would seem to support the 1866 birthdate. [1106], [1332], [1333], [1937]

He married Grace Julia WILSON, daughter of (?) WILSON (?-?) & Julia M. (WILSON) (1827->1900), on 18 Jun 1890 in Laporte Co., IN. [1940] Born in Apr 1864 in La Porte, IN. [1332], [1942] Grace Julia died in La Grange, IL, on 25 Dec 1924. [1934] Buried in Pine Lake Cemetery, La Porte, IN. [293] aka: Grace W., Julia Grace.
I assume that the Julia C. Wilson who married Lowell C. Bassford on 18 Jun 1890 in Laporte Co., IN, [1940] would be the same person as the Grave W. (Wilson) listed with Lowell in the 1900 [1332] and 1910 [1333] censuses. (Unless perhaps Lowell married two different Wilson girls?)
