General Notes: Husband - Linn W. Mason

---

At an early age he removed to Smethport, Pennsylvania, where he attended the academy, after the completion of his studies he learned the hardware trade, and in 1859 became proprietor of a working interest in a wholesale flour and feed store at Emporium. He, however, returned to Smethport, and engaged in the hardware trade. In 1861 he went into the army with a sutler, remaining two years. He then purchased a hardware store of Mr. Nurse, but the Western fever had a strong hold on him, and he is next found at Des Moines, Iowa, where he remained two years. He then removed to Tioga County, Pennsylvania, where he remained four years in a hardware store, and in 1879 he returned to Smethport, where he erected a building, and fitted it purposely for the hardware trade.
Mr. Mason was an active worker in the Democratic party. He and his family were members of St. Luke's Episcopal Church.
