REV FISHER ROBERT MASON

Rev. Fisher Robert Mason was born September 9, 1879 in Mocksville;
attended Mocksville local schools, then furthering his education by 
attending and receiving his degree from Livingston College, then known 
as The State Normal School. He later received a certificate of Bible 
Study from the Moody Institute, Chicago, Ilinois. 

Rev. Mason was married to the former Fannie Bryant of Salisbury who
preceeded him in death in the year 1959, after 57 years of happy matrimony.

Early in his adult life, Rev Mason heard the call to the ministry and
like Samuel said "Here Am I, Send Me." Thus was the beginning of 63 years 
of active and faithful service. Rev Mason first pastored Mt Zion Baptist 
Chruch in Salisbury, serving that church for 27 years. He then came to 
High Point, N.C. where he served as pastor of First Baptist Chruch for 
11 years, along with the pastoring of Buncomb and Liberty Grove Churches. 
Then in the year 1947, Rev Mason accepted the pastorate of Temple Memorial 
Baptist Church, serving actively unitl his retirement in 1960. In 
recognition and appreciation for services rendered, the membership of 
Temple saw fit to honor him as Pastor Emeritus. In the course of his years 
of service, Rev Mason headed and served in an offical capacity to numerous 
organizations. Also, he was a member of the Ministerial Alliance and 
treasurer of the Rowan Baptist Association.
