Surnames: Mason Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JhB.2ACE/1132 Message Board Post: I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers Memorial. Dallas Morning News (11 Mar 1919) reported that Cass County deputy sheriff J H MASON was near Hughes Springs while walking along the train tracks and was struck by the southbound MK&T train on 9 Mar & died 10 Mar 1919. I am interested in locating his place of burial, family history and any info that he was on duty when this accident occurred.
