His business records, which were available in 1966, reflected that he was a competent bookkeeper and businessman for his day. He was a member and one of the founders of the Mt. Zion Methodist Church on Sugar Creek, having donated a portion of the land and assisted in the construction of the church building. It is said that the builders burned their names into the heavy timbers of the church steeple, and that James Monroe Bassham's is one of them.
