OBITUARY -- MASON
Mrs. Hetty Jane Orendorff Mason was born October 13, 1858 near Downs, Ill., and died at Bonner Springs, Kansas, July 10, 1926 aged 67 yrs., 8 months and 27 days.
Her family came to Kansas in 1868, first settling near Stanton in Miami county, later coming to Wilson county and settling on a homestead in 1870, where she grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage in 1900 to Walt Gwin and moved to Montgomery county, where he husband died in 1913. She then returned to Wilson county and made her home with her sister, Mrs. Kate Boman. In 1914 she again married and she and her husband, Emmet Mason, moved to near Bonner Springs.
Early in life she joined the Presbyterian church in which she retained membership until her death. After the death of her father in 1883 the burden of looking after the family fell upon here. She was a kind woman and a hard worker and went through all the hardships of a pioneer without a grumble.
She leaves one brother, Guy Orendorff of near Benedict; one sister, Mrs. Kate Boman of Buffalo; thirteen nephews and nieces and a lot of other relatives and many friends. The body was taken from the train in Rest, Tuesday afternoon to her sister's home; the funeral was held the next day at the Methodist church in Buffalo and burial was made in High Prairie cemetery. Again passes away one of the early pioneers that toiled and went through privations that we who remain may live the better life.
