HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.
ELIAS FASSETT. The ancestors of Elias Fassett, of Toledo, were of Scottish nativity, and settled in Massachusetts in 1715. His great-grandfather lived in Bennington, Vermont, and served in the French and Indian Wars. His grandfather was a Captain in the Revolutionary War, and served under General Montgomery. For his meritorious and gallant service during this war he was granted by Congress the entire Township of Cambridge, Vermont. He was afterwards made Associate Judge of the Supreme Court, and was recognized as one of the leading public men of his State. The father of Elias Fassett (John Fassett) was born in Bennington, Vermont, December 17,1769, but after the Revolution moved with his parents to Cambridge, where the subject of this sketch was born, January 17, 1827, the youngest of seven children-four boys and three girls. His mother's maiden name was Martha Thomas. Mr. Fassett's father was a Physician, and followed the practice of his profession at Cambridge until in 1832, when in June of that year he came to Port Lawrence and bought the section of land which is known as Fassett's First and Second Additions, located in what now is the Sixth Ward of Toledo. The following fall he brought his family to Port Lawrence, where for the succeeding five years he practiced his profession in addition to his labor in clearing his farm. At the end of this period be moved upon the farm, where he continued to reside until his death, May 26, 1853. Elias remained with his parents, assisting in the labors of the farm until his 17th year. His School education was limited to the meager advantages afforded in this section at that early period, and consisted of three months' attendance during the year at the log School-house in the neighborhood of his father's farm, and one year's attendance at a Select School, then located on Lagrange Street, Toledo, in 1836.
Mr. Fassett became a clerk in the Dry Goods and General Store in which an elder brother was part proprietor, under the firm name of Raymond & Fassett. Here he remained for three years, after which he returned to his father's farm and remained there until his father's death. For one year after this event, he was Cheek Clerk in the Toledo office of the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, now a part of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad. For two years following he filled a similar position in the office of the Wabash Railroad, and for three years was Freight Foreman for the same Road. The latter period of service terminated Mr. Fassett's connection with Railroading, since which date he has lived upon a portion of the original purchase of his father in 1832, and has devoted his time to farming and dealing in real estate. The rapid growth of the City of Toledo has greatly enhanced the value of Mr. Fassett's property, a large portion of which has been converted into City building lots. At the time of its purchase it was an uncultivated tract, covered with woods, upon which for many years stood a log-house, the home of Dr. Fassett and family.
Mr. Fassett's father and an elder brother were the proprietors of the first Tavern erected in the Fall of 1832, on the West side of Summit Street, near Locust Street, a portion of the City at that time known as Vistula. Upon the same site was afterwards erected a hotel, known as the Mansion House, and later as the Franklin House. James Irvine Browne, the publisher of the first newspaper in Toledo, boarded with Mr. Fassett's father in 1834. The first edition of his paper published during that year was delivered by young Fassett, who has a distinct recollection of its appearance and the primitive manner in which it was printed. "To Mr. Browne," says Mr. Fassett, "is due the credit of first suggesting the name for the present City of Toledo."
Mr. Fassett was married May 7, 1857, to Mary Elizabeth Wales, daughter of Philander Wales, an early settler in this section. Three children have been born to them Mary Alena, born March 22, 1858; Mabel, born October 29, 1868, and John Elias, born November 4, 1862, who died in infancy.
Mr. Fassett is a Democrat, but has never taken an active part in politics. For six years he was a member of the Board of Equalization, an appointment conferred upon him for his conceded fitness for the position, and without solicitation on his part. The duties of this office he performed with entire satisfaction. By nature the excitement and turmoil of political life are distasteful to him, while attention to his private business has engrossed his time and form more congenial pursuits. Mr. Fassett has led a quiet life befitting his natural taste, and has found his greatest pleasure around the domestic circle, where the is revered and loved. His business life has been marked by the exercise of the strictest regard for right and justice. In all the relations of life, he has proved himself both honorable and manly, and has secured the confidence and esteem of all who know him.
BIOGRAPHY: TFG-32-Elias Fassett came to Toledo with his father, Dr. John Fassett, in 1832. His father's first residence was on the West Side, on Locust St. where the Westminster Presyterian Church now stands. In 1837 they settled on the East Side, beng one of the 28 white families near an Indian village of 2500 Indians.
Elias worked as a clerk in his brother's store, worked for several railroads, and after his father's death, worked his father's farm. Dr. John purchased an uncultivated tract in 1832. Elias converted this farm land into city building lots. He was a Democrat but never active in politics. He has the distinction of being the first newsboy in Toledo. It was the Toledo Wood Co. Gazette in 16 Oct. 1834. The paper's editor, James Irvine Brown, boarded with Mr. Fassett's father who in addition to being a physician also ran a hotel. "To Mr. Brown is due the credit of first suggesting name of the present city of Toledo" Elias Fassett wrote. He served six years on the Board of Equalization. He was a member of the Memorial Baptist Church. He died of a heart ailment at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Riggs.
See Waggoner's History of Toledo, Ohio for a good account of Elias Fassett.
