a clerk, after which he went into a cotton mill, starting at the bottom and finally becoming superintendent in
May, 1895, of the Laurel Lake Mill. Mr. Mason is a member of Narragansett Lodge F. & A. M., Council and Commandery,
also of the Odd Fellows and other orders. In 186 he married Edith J. Skillings, a native of Gray, Me. They have
two children: John R. E., and Everett V. Mr. Mason's parents were John H. and Catherine P. (Skillings) Mason, and
the progenitor of the Mason family came from England to this country early in the seventeenth century. The Skillings
family of Portland, Me., is also an historic one.
