Headline:  Rev. Walter C. Mason, Former Trout Pastor, Succumbs in Monroe

The Rev. Walter C. Mason, a former pastor of the Trout Methodist Church, died 
in a Monroe hospital late Tuesday following a long illness.  Funeral rites 
for the long-prominent minister in Louisiana Methodist circles, were held 
this (Thurs.) morning at the First Methodist Church in West Monroe.

Burial was scheduled in the Plain Dealing Cemetery under the direction of 
Kilpatrick Funeral Home of West Monroe.

A native of Virginia, the Rev. Mason had held pastorates in Horton, Ferriday, 
Clinton, Marksville, Plain Dealing, Monroe, and West Monroe, in addition to 
his former service at Trout.

His only survivor is a daughter, Mary Ella Mason, a student at Louisiana Tech 
in Ruston.

In poor health for some time, he temporarily returned to pastoral duties 
several years ago to accept the charge at Trout but illness forced his 
resignation before finishing the conference year.
