DEATH OF GEORGE W. MASON
 
Former New Plymouth Banker Passed Away at His Home Monday Morning
 
News of the death Monday of George W. Mason, former president of a bank at New 
Plymouth, was received in Payette with keenest regret.  It had not been known 
that Mr. Mason was ill and no one was prepared for such sad news.  He passed 
away at 10 o'clock from heart failure resulting from a general physical 
breakdown.
 
Mr. Mason came to Payette county about 15 years ago and engaged in the banking 
business at New Plymouth.  He was a gentleman of high character and was 
respected by everybody in Payette county.  The bank grew and prospered and for 
years was one of the substantial financial institutions of this section, but 
the reverses which came a few years ago finally brought his bank into trouble 
and failure.  Even in this calamity no word of criticism was heard of Mr. 
Mason and he died as he had lived, loved and respected by all.
 
A short funeral service was held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, 
and was attended by a large crowd including members of the Masonic and Woodman 
lodges, many going from Payette.  Revs. Judy and Jacobs conducted the 
service,after which the body was brought to Payette and shipped to the old 
home at Goldfield, Iowa, accompanied by Mrs. Mason and their son, Ted.  A 
Masonic funeral will be held at the old home.
