HARRY CLYDE BASEY. A young man who has demonstrated his ability as a viticulturist and horticulturist, is Harry C. Basey, a native of Iowa, where he was born near Oskaloosa, January 27, 1880. His father, George Basey, was also born in Iowa, where he was a farmer ; he removed to Fillmore County, Nebr., 1884, and in 1891 to Nuckolls County, the same state, being active as a farmer until he retired; he now lives in Edgar, Nebr. The mother of Harry C. was Louisa Delpha Jordan, born in Iowa and descended from an old Southern family; she is still living, the mother of eight sons and one daughter, the latter being deceased. Harry C. is the fifth in order of birth, and from the age of four was reared in Nebraska, reciving a good education in the public schools. When twenty years of age he began for himself, being employed on farms in Nebraska. He was married in Nuckolls County, in 1904, to Miss Garnett Norwood, who was born in that county. Her parents, John and Alice (Cody) Norwood, were early settlers and homesteaders in Nuckolls County, as was also grandfather Norwood, as early as 1872. After his marriage Mr. Basey farmed one year in Nebraska and then re- moved, in 1905, to Pulaski County, Mo., where he purchased a farm in the Ozark Mountains. Three years later he sold this and removed to Audrain County, Mo., where with his father-in-law, Mr. Norwood, he purchased a farm and successfully engaged in farming and stock-raising. On account of his wife's health, they sold out and came to Fresno County, Cal., in 1912, and Mr. Norwood and himself bought thirty acres in Round Mountain District. It was unimproved, but by energy and care they now have a beautiful ranch. Twenty-five acres are in white Adriatic figs, and the balance in Thompson seedless grapes. The ranch is well improved, being equipped with a pumping plant ample for irrigating the whole tract. With his wife, Mr. Basey is a member of the Christian Church in Sanger he being a member of the Board of Deacons.
