BARON B. MASTICK is one of the representative men of Imperial County. Previous
to coming to this community he was connected with the stock business in Iowa,
and had much to do with the advancement of the section of Iowa in which he
resided. His birth occurred in East Claridon, Ohio, August 22, 1844, a son of
Nathaniel and Louisa (Bradley) Mastick. The family came from Vermont and
Connecticut and are descendents from General Bradley of Revolutionary fame. Mr.
Mastick's brother, Erman E., fought in the Civil war and was captain of Company
K, Second Iowa Infantry. Baron B., the subject of this review, received his
education in his native state, attending the public schools. He later entered
Hiram College. Finishing his education, he clerked for a period of three years.
Later he removed to Harlan, Iowa, where he engaged in the stock business. He
served as county recorder for four years. Disposing of his realty holdings in
Iowa, he went to Nebraska, where he bought and shipped livestock and grain for
fifteen years. Mr. Mastick spent three winters in Imperial County before he
located in Seeley permanently, which was in 1912. He owns, with his son, Fred
E., one hundred and fourteen acres, and has improved his land and raises cotton,
corn, alfalfa and hogs. Politically Mr. Mastick is a Progressive-Republican. He
was married at Painsville, Ohio, April 24, 1867, to Miss Jennie E. Sisson, a
daughter of Augustus L. and Elizabeth (Warner) Sisson. Mr. and Mrs. Mastick
celebrated their golden wedding in 1917. Their two sons are Fred E., born
December 21, 1879, in the hardware business at Seeley; and Claire S., born in
1883, in the United States Army, at present stationed in the transportation
department at Fort Kearny, California. Mr. Mastick has been identified with the
business interests of Seeley since 1914, and has been engaged in the insurance
line since that time.
