Message Board Post:
Need help from someone connected to this MASON family. Lewis/Louis M.C. Mason son of
Sylvanas Mason and 1st wife Elizabeth Lozena Harrold was born Dec 1861 in Warren, Wells
Co. IN. He married Anna M. Poor (her name misspelled on marriage index) from Delaware
County in 1885. They moved to Butte City, MT and lived by her mother and two of her
sisters who had also relocated there from Delaware Co. IN. Lewis Mason lost his wife Anna
(Poor) Mason by 1907 (exact date unknown) and her body is shipped back to Hartford city,
IN (where buried unknown) where her other sister Mary E. Edwards wife of Wm C. Edwards
lived. Louis/Lewis Mason her widowed husband begins living in the boardinghouse that her
sisters ran up in Butte city, MT. He lives with them (Martha J Dougherty and Laura
Perfect) as a 'boarder' in the boardinghouse for both 1910, 1920 census. Listed as
a foreman copper mine and later as quartz miner. LDS submission shows he died 25 Feb 1949.
