Henry O. Bassett Project
Henry O. Bassett Project
July 2006
(This is our first cemetery
project)
Captain Henry O. Bassett, a former sheriff of Jackson County, was on leave from Company E, 6th Florida Infantry when it was learned General Alexander Asboth and some 700 to 800 Union Cavalry and Mounted Infantry were advancing on Marianna, Florida. He offered his services to the local defense troops and was killed during the Battle of Marianna. He is buried close to where he died, at St. Luke's Episcopal Church Cemetery. Over the years his headstone had been dislodged and was found lying in the cemetery near it's base. Members of Theophilus West, M.D. Camp1346 met on July 21, 2006, to re-set his headstone. This brave soldier will not be forgotten.
