Dropped Dead,

PHINEAs II. MASON, aged 68 years,
of Gibson township, dropped dead on
Tuesday afternoon, while working on
the road at Huston Hill. Mr.. Mason
who is one of Cameron county's
sturdy citizens, was in apparently
good health when, as Supervisor he
went to his duties When stricken
with heart failure he was carried to
the house of Powell Barr, but died
within a few minutes. He leaves a
wife and one son, Anson, to mourn his
death. We have been acquainted with
the deceased for very many years and,
in common with all citizen's respected
him very much. The funeral takes
place this Thursday morning from
the family residence, interment being
made at Pine street cemetery, Rev.
Faus officiating.
