Mason of the Fourth Cavalry died at Vancouver Island [**], Wash., on Monday and his remains will be shipped to this city to be interred in the National Cemetery at the Presidio.

** There is a Vancouver, Washington, but Vancouver Island is in British Columbia, Canada. Bill was able to confirm that Capt. Mason died while stationed at Vancouver Barracks in Vancouver, Washington. He cites the cause of death as Bright's disease. Thus, the word "Island" was just an error in the original newspaper item.
