Margaret White Masterson

Mrs. Margaret White Masterson entered into rest at her home in Carrollton Monday at twelve o’clock.  She was in her eighty-fifth year, and was the widow of Judge Richard W. Masterson, who died a few years ago.  For a number of years the Masterson family lived in New Castle, where they acquired many friends.  Mrs. Masterson had been ailing for some months, but was stricken with cerebral hemorrhage about ten days before her death, and was practically unconscious for about a week before the end.  The life of this good woman is certainly not arrested by the grave, and her virtues live in the memory of those who loved and knew her.  Her lovely Christian spirit shone in her face; her life was a benediction to those about her.

 Three children are left: W. W. Masterson, Consul at Harput, Turkey, who will receive the sad news in that far off country; Mrs. A. C. Adkinson and Miss Harriet Masterson, both of Carrollton.  Funeral services were held at the house and the body was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery.
