Daughter of Charles and Dora Flisher, and twin sister of May Flisher Lawrence. In the 1880 US Federal census, she was enumerated in the South Pittsburgh (Marion County) Tennessee, home of her parents, along with four siblings. Mr. Flisher listed his employment as bookkeeper.
Grace Mabel Flisher married Alvin Kelley Baskette on 3 Jan 1895, in Davidson County, Tennessee.
From the "Society" column, 4 Jan 1895 edition of "The Nashville American": There was a romantic marriage in the pastor's study of McKendree Church at 8 o'clock last night, news of which will probably be a surprise to many friends of the gallant groom and his bonny bride. Mr. Alvin K. Baskette, of the city, and Miss Grace Flisher, of West Nashville, came to town ostensibly to attend the theater, but they did not really intend to do anything of the kind. When they reached the city from New Town, they were joined by a few friends and went to McKendree Church, where Rev. D. C. Kelley appropriately tied the nuptial knot. There were some objections to the marriage on the part of the bride's parents on account of the youth of the bride, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Flisher. Those witnessing the marriage were Miss Grace Baskette, sister of the groom; Mr. W. D. Gale, his employer; and Messrs. Sevier Williams and Aris Brown, Jr. After the wedding, the young couple and their friends went to the home of the groom's mother [Matilda Baskette] on Laurel Street. The young couple are well known and popular, and their friends now stand ready to congratulate them.
Mrs. Baskette was living at 1307 Laurel St. when she died of peritonitis. She is buried in the Baskette family plot, adjacent to Tillie Gwin Baskette.
Her widower remarried.
