This was on a page I copied while at the Liberty, IN Library; I don't know
which paper it came from. It is dated 1918.

QUINTIS C. MASON died at his residence in Spring Grove, Richmond, at 10:30 p
m. Tuesday November 20th, after an illness of three weeks. He was born
January 31, 1841, on the old homestead two miles north of Brownsville, Union
County, Indiana, where his ancestors first settled. He was a grandson of
Robert Mason and Mary Kirk, who came to this country from Edinburg and
Clackmenshire, Scotland, about 1830.
Mr. Mason lived on the same farm for fifty years; and, after a short
residence in Brownsville and Liberty moved to Richmond twenty years ago. He
was well known throughout his native county, where he held public offices.
He was a man of unusual keen sense of honor, being held always in the
highest esteem in his community.
He was united in marriage to Mary Barbara Leab, November 27, 1864. He is
survived by his widow and three sons, James L. and John E. of Pittsburgh, Pa
, and Charles F. of Liberty. A daughter, the mother of Mrs. Omer G. Whelan
of this city, died here several years ago. There are also nine grand
children and one great grand child. The funeral occurred on Thursday, with
interment in the Lutheran Cemetery.
Mr. Mason is well remembered here as a man of pleasing personality and quiet
demeanor. He was only sick twice in his life before his last illness
sufficient to call a physician.
