Gov. Masters was a native of the New
England States, where he married and reared
a noble family of sons and daughters, and
was several terms in high Office in his State.
He was honoreG and esteemed by all who
knew him, and his death is sad incident for
his fellow citizens to record. Shortly pre-.
vious to his death, his son Henry Masters jr
young man of talent and popular nature, ar
rived at the new home of his father, and was
the single kinsman who wept and mourned
at his grave. The Governor was buried ir
the most respectful and impressive manner
on his own farm near his residence, on the
bluff sight of the Falls.
Henry Masters, junior, passed through this
city day or two since, on his way to the
home ofthe family in New York, from whence
he intends soon to return with them to Sioux
