Storm Lake Buena Vista Vidette - Aug 18, 1911 - Mason Fredrick Parish was born in Storm Lake April 9, 1903, died Aug 11, 1911, 8 years, 5 months, and 2 days.

Little Mason was an unusually bright little boy, a favorite with many who knew him and a fine little singer. One time in Sunday School he sang as a solo the song "Jesus Loves Me," the class singing the chorus.

He was taken sick at the close of Chautauqua and after a brave battle for life for 10 days, passed to his rest on Friday.

His funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon. The very large number present showed their love for the dear little boy and their sympathy for the bereaved parents. The service was simple and touching yet comforting to the aching heart. The little body was laid to rest in the Storm Lake cemetery in a bed of flowers. The entire community extends deepest sympathy to Dr and Mrs Parish in their hour of affliction when their youngest and well beloved child was taken to the home beyond.
