She was graduated from Steubenville Female Seminary, Steubenville, O., one of the first schools of higher learning for women in this country. In 1880 she married Col. Lewis Henry Fassett, of Elmira, N. Y., who came here after the Civil War to engage in the oil business and founded the Crescent Oil Works. She was also a charter member of the Wednesday Club, past regent of the D. A. R., an honor graduate of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle and a member or the Mary Washington society and the Women's Missionary Society.
Mrs. Fassett's parents were among the early settlers and closely associated with the history and development of Franklin. Samuel Futhey Dale was one of the promoters and directors of the First National Bank of Franklin, the Venango Water Co., the Franklin and Oil City turnpike, the Venango Mills and the Galena Oil Refinery. Mrs. Fassett's grandfather, Judge Samuel Dale of Lancaster, had been deputy surveyor of Venango, Warren and Clarion counties which he divided into thousands acre tracts. He also subdivided the greater part of the Holland Land Co.'s property.
Those who heard her speak on the occasion of the Centennial celebration of the Presbyterian church will never forget the brilliant mind and tender memory that made those early years live again. A notable figure in every relation of life she is one whom all delight to honor.
