GEORGE D. BASEHOAR, farmer, P. O. Littlestown, was born on the old homestead in 
this township, March 10, 1837, son of George and Margaret (Grove) Basehoar.  He 
was educated in this county, and has been a farmer all his life.  Our subject 
was married here, February 28, 1860, to Miss Louisa Duttera, born in Adams 
County, Penn., in December, 1836, daughter of John and Margaret (Weikert) 
Duttera, who were among the old settlers of Union Township.  George D. Basehoar 
and wife were the parents of eight children:  Henry H., E. Frances, George W., 
Louise Ann, John D. (killed by an accident at ten years of age); Sarah E., 
Jennie D. and Daniel D.  The family are all members of the Lutheran Church.  Mr. 
Basehoar resides on a farm of 122 acres of land with good improvements, and is 
counted among the well-to-do farmers of this township.  He has been identified 
with the Republican party all his life.
