Reverend Thomas Mason was born in 1820 in Shawneetown, Gallatin County, Illinois. His early advantages for an education were very poor, but being a man of considerable talent, he finally became a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church. He came to Wisconsin in 1856, and among other places, was on the circuit at Lewis Valley, in La Crosse County. He was a man of energy, and knowing his educational deficiency, he became an industrious student at Galesville University a part of the years 1861 and 1862.
In August 1862 he enlisted in Company C, now in the 30th regiment, and at his own request was transferred from that company to Captain Polley's company in the 14th regiment, where he then had two sons. He was killed in the battle near Corinth on the 3rd of October, 1862, by a rifle ball and was buried at Corinth.
