Shortsville, April 14 -- Our community was shocked last evening to receive the sad news of the death of Charles H. Mason, a former townsman and highly respected business man of this place. No information as to the cause of his demise has as yet been received. The remains are to be brought tomorrow from Canisteo, where his home has been for the past year with his son-in-law, Rev. Joel Glover, who is the pastor of the Presbyterian church in that place. Mr. Mason was identified with the Empire Drill Company of this village and was its superintendent for a number of years. When his daughter and only child married Rev. Joel Glover and moved to Ohio eight years ago, Mr. Mason went with them, where they lived until within the past two years.
The interment will be in the cemetery here by the side of his wife who died 12 years ago.

Shortsville, N. Y. - The funeral of Charles H. Mason was held from the Presbyterian church at 2:30 p.m. yesterday, Rev. Donald Mackenzie officiating. Mr. Mason died of heart trouble and the end came without warning, as was in the case of his father's death. Many of the older residents remember his father, Gardner Mason, one of Farmington's highly respected citizens, and who belonged to the Hicksite Quakers. He died when a comparatively young man of heart failure while in the woods at work in the winter of 1868. Charles Mason, whose funeral was held yesterday, was for many years an official member of the Presbyterian church in this place. His wife, whose maiden name was Miss Georgia Eldridge, was a woman of beautiful Christian character and when she died several years ago was mourned by everyone who knew her. Their last resting place will be a sacred spot to many who loved them in life. The funeral was largely attended by many mourning neighbors and relatives.
