After a long period of illness, Miss Jane Mason died at the home of her brother, John W. Mason, near Ord. Nebr., at the age of eighty years and six days on Jan. 6th, 1919, at 9 o’clock a. m. Miss Mason was a former resident in Howard County, Ia. She lived with her parents on a farm south of New Oregon. After the death of her parents Miss Mason has lived with her sisters and brothers. She made her home with Tom Mason, who lived near Cresco until his death. At this time Miss Mason came to Nebraska, where she has lived with her brothers John and Charles.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows she was born Jan. 1, 1838 which would have made her 81 years old which does not agree with the above. Her obituary which is posted on Find a Grave shows she was born in 1839; however, her gravestone shows 1838. She is buried in the Ord Cemetery in Ord, NE.
