LUTHER A MASON IS VICTIM OF CANCER
----------
WELL-KNOWN RESIDENT OF CITY DIED LAST EVENING
----------
Body Will Be Taken to Seattle and Will Be
Cremated Thursday.
----------
After a lingering illness, Luther A. Mason died
last evening at 8 o’clock at the family residence on East Third street of cancer
of the stomach. Mr. Mason was confined to his bed only three weeks, although he
has been an invalid during the past ten years. He was born in Ohio, on September
2, 1845, being 67 years of age, and came to the west 25 years ago. On April 16,
1889, he was married to Miss Eudora Hall at her home in Port Angeles. After
making their home in Seattle for a number of years, the family moved to
Ellensburg, having come to this city for the benefit of Mr. Mason’s health. He
is well-known here, and has a large circle of friends who will be grieved to
hear of his death. Besides his wife, he is survived by three children, Lawrence
Mason and Misses Lois and Nell Mason, all of this city. Besides the family, his
brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McConachle of Port Angeles were with
him at the time of his death. In compliance with his request, the body will be
shipped to Seattle tomorrow morning, accompanied by the family, for cremation.
Funeral services will be held in Seattle tomorrow. The Mason Piano House has
been closed since his serious illness.
