She had been in her usual health up until within a few hours of her demise, and her death was caused from neuralgia of the heart. Perhaps no woman in New Market was better known or more highly respected than grandma Mason. Always of a kindly disposition, combined with an abundance of energy, she was always foremost in all good work, especially in the church. She was one of the oldest, if not the oldest resident in this part of Taylor county, having settled in Mason township in 1852, some sixty-five years ago. Then it was little better than a wilderness, and she saw it advance step by step until it expanded and blossomed into its present loveliness. The pioneers are rapidly passing to the great beyond and soon there will be none of the first settlers to tell us of their struggles and privations. Her husband passed away on June 27, 1908. Her son A.L. Mason and wife of Spokane, Wash, who have been here on a visit for the past four months, were with her when the end came. Funeral services were held at her late residence on Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev E.B. Osborne of Linn Grove, Iowa, he having been a former pastor of the deceased. Rev Osborne also conducted the burial service for Mr Mason. Following the service at the home all that was mortal was laid to rest by the side of her husband. Margaret H. Shannon was born in Morgan county, Ohio, October 9th, 1835 and passed away at her home in New Market on February 8th, 1917, at 1:30 pm at the age of 81 years and four months. She moved with her parents while quite young to Clayton county, Missouri, and later to Page county, Iowa. She was married to James Mason in 1852 and they moved to Taylor county where they resided on a farm until they moved to New Market 22 years ago. There were born to this union nine children, her husband and two children poceding [sic] her in death, leaving 7 children, 13 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, also one brother and one sister, to morn [sic] her loss.
