Tuesday evening, Ross Mason received a telegram from the East informing him of the death of his son, Donald at Brownsville, Minn. Mr. Mason left Wednesday morning for Iowa to join his wife, and burial will be made in the Mason cemetery lot at Goldfield, Iowa. The news came as a great shock to Mr. Mason and the entire community. Several weeks ago Mrs. Mason and her son left for Iowa and Minnesota to visit relatives. Tuesday morning Mr. Mason received a letter from his wife saying that Donald was in the best of health. No causes for the child's death were given in the telegram. Donald Mason was born in this city a year and a half ago. The loss of the loved one coming in the way that it has is a great shock to Mr. and Mrs. Mason, and the deepest heartfelt sympathy of the entire community is extended to them in their bereavement.
