From the Jackson County Banner [Black River Falls, Jackson Co., WI],
Saturday July 13, 1867, Page 1 Column 6 

DEATH OF I. S. MASON Mr. I. S. MASON, who had been in feeble health for
quite a period, breathed his last early Saturday morning, the 29th inst.,
and was buried with Masonic Honors the next day. The funeral was largely
attended, the Methodist church being crowded to its utmost capacity and
many were unable to gain admittance.

Mr. MASON was born in Albany, New York, the year 1816, from which city he
moved to another portion of the State, and we believe it was 1838 or ‘39,
he moved to Chicago, then a small place. The year 1843, he came to La
Crosse, and in 1845, to the Black River Valley, where he has resided ever
since, having been engaged in lumbering, trading and keeping hotel. He
leaves a wife and six children to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate
husband and parent. They have the sympathy of the whole town.
