Jacob Sloat Fassett, leading citizen and businessman of Elmira and formerly one of the outstanding Republican leaders in New York State and prominent in the national organization for the party, died unexpectedly Monday night at 9:15 o'clock (local time) at Vancouver, British Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. Fassett had just returned from a business trip to the Philippines and Japan and late Monday afternoon Arthur B. Sliter, Mr. Fassett's private secretary, received a telegram in this city from Mr. Fassett as follows: "Just arrived safely. Leave here April 23 and will arrive in Elmira April 28. J. Sloat Fassett" Monday night at 10:15 o'clock (local time) a telegram was received by Newton C. Fassett, their son, in this city as follows: "Your father died suddently and without warning an hour ago. Mother." The annoucement caused a great shock to the family and friends of Mr. Fassett, yet to the near friends who were aware of his condition of health the annoucement was not unexpected. Mr. and Mrs. Fassett left Elmira November 18, last, for the Philippines in connection with his extensive business interest. Mr. Fassettt was the president of the Insular Lumber Company with offices in Manila and he, in the company with Arthur E. Edgecomb of Philadelphia, the general sales agent of the company, were engaged in an important work at the general offices of the company. Mrs. and Mrs. Philip Young also were with them in the Philippines. Mrs. Young formerly was Miss Ella Bender who visited frequently in Elmira. Mrs. and Mrs. Young left the Fassett party while visiting in Japan and took the southern route to Honolulu where they visited before returning to San Francisco. Mrs. and Mrs. Fassett departed from Yokohama, Japan, April 12 and took the northern route to Vancouver, British Columbia where it is assumed they landed Sunday or Monday. While Mr. Fassett had been afflicted with a heart affection several years he was able to attend to his important duties.

FASSETT, Jacob Sloat - When J. Sloat Fassett Was Born In 1853 - Mr. Fassett was born in Elmira November 13, 1853 and was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Newton P. Fassett, an attorney in Elmira many years. The son graduated from old School No. Six on Lake Street which now is a part of the Vocational School. He later graduated from the Elmira Free Academy. Mr. Fassett completed the course of study at the University of Rochester in 1875; also a post graduate course in law and political economy at the University of Heidelberg, Germany in 1880-81; he studied law in his father's office and was admitted to the bar in 1878 and served as the district attorney of Chemung County in 1879- 80. Mr. Fassett was elected and served as a state senator from 1884 to 1891. He was a nominee for Governor of New York Sate on the Republican ticket in 1891 but was defeated by Roswell P. Flower. Mr. Fassett was elected to Congress and served from 1905 to 1911. President Harrison appointed Mr. Fassett collector of the port of New York in 1891 and the same year he was a Republican candidate for governor. He was temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis in 1892 and secretary of the Republican national committee from 1888 to and including 1892. J. Sloat Fassett was largely identified in extensive lumber interests in Canada and ranching business in the west. He also was a principal stockholder in the Second National Bank of this city and other local business interests. He was an officer and consistent member of the First Baptist Church for many years. Gift To Elmira College - Many Elmirans will reflect upon the many wonderful acts of charity and kindness which were made possible through the great kind heart of Mr. Fassett. He was an exemplary citizen - ever upholding the right and ever just and square in his dealings with his fellow men. To the needy he ever was generous to an extreme and many successful business and professional men of this city owe their financial beginning to the aid given by Mr. Fassett. One of the outstanding memorials to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Fassett is the handsome Fassett Commons on the campus of Elmira College. Mr. Fassett, early in life, began playing the political game. Before he was old enough to enjoy the right of franchise he attended political meetings and on several occasions spoke from the platforms. Born of sturdy stock, being a son of the late Attorney Newton Pomeroy Fassett and Martha Ellen Sloat of Sloatsburg, this state, Jacob Sloat Fassett became one of the most distinguished citizens that this city and county has been able to boast. On November 13, Mr. Fassett observed his 70th birthday while at his home in this city. Although he had been in ill health many years he was able to be about the streets and spent many hours daily transacting business at his office on the second floor of the Second National Bank Building, Lake and Carroll Streets. Mr. Fassett was the principal stockholder of the Elmira Advertiser from 1879 until 1896 when he disposed of his newspaper interests. For several years he conducted extensive mining interests in Korea and passed considerable time in that far off country. Had Beautiful Home - About 1900 Mr. Fassett purchased the extensive residential plot on upper Hoffman Street, known as Strathmont, where he erected the beautiful residence. Within the past year the large estate has been divided into city building lots and Mr. and Mrs. Fassett, who were no longer in need of such an extensive residence, were endeavoring to dispose of it. Mr. and Mrs. Fassett had passed the greater part of their time the past few years out of Elmira. They occasionally returned to the city for brief intervals. Jacob Sloat Fassett was a life member in all of the local Masonic bodies, including Ivy Lodge, F. & A. M., Elmira chapter R.A.M.; Southern Tier Council, R & S. M.; St. Omer Commandery, Knights Templar; Corning Consistory, Scottish Rite Masons. Mr. Fassett also was a member of Elmira Lodge No. 62. B.P.O. of Elks; Sons of the American Revolution; also the Elmira Rotary Club, Century Club, Elmira City Club, the Elmira Chamber of Commerce; also several companies of business interests. Married In 1879 - Jacob Sloat Fassett and Miss Jennie L. Crocker, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Crocker of Sacramento, Calif., were married February 13, 1879. Seven children were born to them. Three of their children are deceased, Bryant, Mary and Carol. The decedent is survied by his widow, a daughter, Mrs. Paul Nevin of this city; Mrs. Frederick Hodgson of Atlanta, Ga; three sons, Newton C. Fassett of this city; Truman E.
