OSCAR MASON

Oscar Mason was born in Ray county, Missouri, October 13, 1852. He is the son
of John and Mary H. Mason. His father was born in Kentucky, and his mother in
Mississippi. His opportunities for education were very limited, on account of
the war, but he made the best use he could of such time as he spent at school,
and has a fair common school education. He began farming for himself at the
age of seventeen years and continued in that business in this county for about
three years, and then went to Texas, where he engaged in herding cattle for
two years and then returned to this county. He then engaged as clerk for one
year in the dry goods store of Dorton & Pigg, since which time has been
engaged at Orrick, in business for himself.
