I hit the return key in the previous message accidently.
I can send you a pdf file of the pages from the Tri-State Packet.
Oak Hill Cemetery has an online search engine. They list him as
Hzzpia Mason. (Must have been hard for the volunteer to read
the handwriting)

He is also listed here as W. Mason

there were 24 or so Confederates listed as being buried
somewhere in the Cemetery. There is a Civil War Section
at Oak Hill Cemetery, but they did not bury any of the
confederates there or they were never marked. There is a
monument that honor the Confederate Soldiers buried there.
It lists the soldiers and I think they are listed on this website.
The National Parks Service was a Civil War Soldier & Sailor System.

To find him click Soldiers and then you need to enter his last
name, click that he was a confederate and from Texas and it will
show you all the Mason's from Texas. He his listed as Isaiah and
W. You might be able to find siblings or cousins too.
I have some photos of the cemetery here

I might have a photo of the Confederate monument, if not I can get one.
