Notes	MO CALLAWAY FULTON TWP 1870 census Basket, Martin, 35 Margaret 34 George B., 12 Fisher, I, 17 servant From the History of Callaway County Missouri, 1884, page 619: Martin Baskett, of Baskett and Sheley, proprietors feed and sale stable. Like so many successful business men, Mr. Baskett was brought up on a farm. There habits of industry are formed, and sober, economical ideas of living are learned, which are not often lost in after life, and which are so necessary to success in every worthy calling. He is a native of the county where thus far his able life has been spent, and was born on his father's farm on the 7th of September, 1834. Like all the youths who grew here in those early days, his school advantages were not the best, but notwithstanding that, he succeeded in acquiring a sufficient education for all practical business affairs. Brought up on a farm, that naturally became his regular occupation on reaching manhood, and he followed it with good success until he engaged in his present business. On the 17th of January, 1855, he was married to Miss Margaret J. Bartley, a young lady of this county, born August 11, 1835. But one child is living of this union, George G., born April 29, 1858; one besides is dead. In 1877, Mr. Baskett came to Fulton and engaged in his present business. He and his partner, Mr. Sheley, have one of the best stables if not the best in the county. Their building, a substantial and neatly constructed stable 150 feet long, has a capacity for 171 horses, and is stocked with first-class teams, vehicles, etc., of all kinds. Both gentlemen are noted for their accommodating manners and fair dealing, and are liberally patronized by the public. They have some handsome turnouts that would be a credit to a city many times the size of Fulton. Mr. and Mrs. Baskett are both members of the Christian Church. They are highly respected and esteemed by all who know them.
