He was born in Wayne county, N. Y., February 18, 1857. His education was obtained from the public schools and the
Arcade Academy, from which institution he was honorably graduated in the class of '75. His first business experience
was that of a retail grocer, in which he was very successful and continued for a number of years. Prior to his
connection in the manufacturing business he was employed as a traveling salesman for Arend & Morgan, a wholesale
dry goods house, in whose employ he continued until 1884, when he became a member of the firm of Elwood, Masten
& Bean, which copartnership was continued until 1887, and was succeeded by Messrs. W. I. Masten & Co.,
the present style of the firm. The premises occupied are large and spacious, and they give employment to a large
number of people. Mr. Masten is a member of a number of social clubs and societies, being prominently identified
with all branches of Masonry. He was married in November, 1886, to Miss Ida M. Goodsell of Olean, N. Y.
