When his death was announced sadness reigned throughout the village, for never was a child more loved by all than was this little lad. An acknowledged favorite among his playmates, and with a disposition that in the petty trials of child-life, made his always ready to stand up for the weaker; and one whose advice was always sought in childish difficulties, and always acting as if it was a pleasure for him to do a favor for an older person--his winning way, sunny disposition and sweet face at once won a place in one's heart that will make him long remembered. All that medical skill and loving hands could do to relieve the little sufferer was of no avail, and on Tuesday morning at five o'clock his young life went out, to return to Him who gave it. The remains were interred in the Farmington cemetery on Tuesday evening. The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.

Died, at the home of his parents in Manchester N. Y. on this morning of June 13th, 1893, Charles Sheffield Mason, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter G. Mason, aged fourteen years, nine months and twelve days. --Charlie was a bright, active boy, possessing many qualities which gave him promise, had he been spared, of a useful manhood. Though naturally retiring in disposition he had already become quite a leader and favorite among his playmates, and heartfelt grief was written on many a young face when his departure was made known.
On Wednesday, June 7th, he was stricken with diphtheria and died the next Tuesday, after nearly a week of intense suffering. During his illness he manifested a sweet spirit of repentance and seemed to reach out after the Lord, often expressing a desire to go to his heavenly Father's house. In this, and in many other ways, he left with those who loved him the comforting assurance that the Master had called and he could no longer tarry.
On Tuesday, in the gathering twilight, we laid him to rest in the beautiful cemetery at Farmington, till the hope of the world is fulfilled in a glad resurrection day. This hope brings balm and healing to many friends, making it possible to say,
" Blessed be the Lord who taketh,
Blessed be the Lord who gave. "
