  JOHN REPLOGLE BASSLER, deputy controller of Blair County and a resident of 
Roaring Springs, was born in Bedford County, Pa., in 1892, a son of David M., 
and Libbie (Replogle) Bassler, farmers of that county who are deceased. Reared 
on the home farm, he acquired his education in the public schools, Juniata 
College, and the Penn Business College, Lancaster, Pa., graduating from the 
former college in business administration and studying at the latter in 1913. He 
then became associated with the Cambria Steel Company, Johnstown, Pa., as 
timekeeper and later with the shipping department of the same concern. In 1917, 
he came to Blair County and was appointed assistant clerk in the office of the 
county commissioners. On January 1, 1921, he was appointed deputy controller of 
the county and has been twice reappointed for four-year terms. He is active in 
the Republican politics of the county and also holds the offices of secretary of 
the borough of Roaring Spring and justice of the peace, the latter since 1918. 
He is a member of the various Masonic bodies, the Odd Fellows, and the Patriotic 
Order Sons of America. He and his wife are communicants of the Lutheran Church. 
He married Edith G. Brumbaugh, of Roaring Spring, and they are the parents of 
two children, Phyllis Louise and John R., Jr., both of whom are pupils in the 
Roaring Spring Schools. Mrs. Bassler is a member of the Rebekahs and the Order 
of the Eastern Star.
