He was born in Webster City on the 28th of October, 1887, and is a son of Bridgeman C. and Clara (Olmstead) Mason, natives of Iowa, the father having been the first white child born in Webster City. The paternal grandparents, who were of English birth, located in Iowa during the early pioneer period and were among the first settlers in Hamilton County. As is true in every new country, but little provision had been made for schools at that time and the early education of Bridgeman Mason was very limited, but he was an ambitious, enterprising youth and through study and reading well qualified himself for a business career. He early became identified with the First National Bank in the capacity of cashier, retaining that position for twenty-two years. Since 1900, he has been dealing quite extensively in Texas real estate, and he is also interested in oil wells in that state. At the present he is devoting a large portion of his time to the brick and tile business in Missouri, but he still retains his residence in Webster City. Mr.Mason is now fifty-six years of age and his wife is fifty-five. They are the parents of three sons, our subject being the second in order of birth. The eldest, Clyde B., is married and living at Lawrence, Kansas; while the youngest, who is also married, is residing in Webster City, where he holds the position of assistant cashier in the First National Bank. After graduating from the public schools, the latter attended the Wentworth Military Academy at Lexington, Missouri, continuing his studies there for three years. Leonard Nelson Mason was reared at home and at the usual age began his education in the public schools. Having early manifested a desire to become an agriculturist, he spent, after completing his high-school course, three years in the Iowa State College at Ames, qualifying himself for his chosen vocation. He then returned to Webster City and for two years thereafter was employed on his father's farm, thus acquiring a practical knowledge of the duties and responsibilities of an agriculturist. At the expiration of that time he leased the farm from his father, and has ever since been engaged in its cultivation and is meeting with success in his undertakings. Four hundred acres of the four hundred and eighty is tiled and un- der cultivation, and under the capable supervision and direction of Mr. Mason is annually yielding abundant harvests-. In connection with tilling the fields he engages in stock-raising, making a specialty of breeding mules, Duroc Jersey hogs and Shorthorn cattle. He also buys and feeds large quantities of cattle for the market. The Mason farm is one of the best improved and most highly cultivated properties in the township. The entire tract is fenced, two hundred and sixty acres of it hog tight, and it is equipped with two complete sets of buildings, consisting of two residences and about twelve barns and sheds. The house occupied by Mr. Mason was erected in 1909, and is a thoroughly modern frame structure, provided with furnace heat, gas lighting system and running water. The place is well kept up and presents a most attractive appearance, its condition generally manifesting capable management and efficient and systematic supervision. On the 28th of October, 1909, Mr. Mason was married to Miss Irene Merrill, a daughter of W. N. and Sophia Merrill, natives of Iowa and residents of Webster City, where the father conducts the Willson hotel. Mrs. Mason whose natal day was the 28th of October, 1888, is the eldest in a family of twelve. Mr. Mason gives his political support to the republican party and is now serving as president of the school board, to which office he has but recently been elected. He is an energetic young man with high ambitions and is making highly creditable progress in the vocation he has elected to follow.
