Another Civil War Veteran Passes Away
Lyman Dudley Mason, 85, a resident of Orange the past 14 years and a well-known Civil War veteran, died Saturday evening at 10:30 o'clock in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank E. Pearson of 39 Winter Street. Death was the result of old age. Although his condition during the past few weeks was serious there was scarcely a day when he was not up and dressed. Mr. Mason was born in Upton, the son of Noah and Cynthia Dudley Mason, and he lived in that town until he was a young man. His parents brought the Hastings place in Warwick and he was living there when he enlisted for the Civil War in August 1861. He joined Co. A, 1st Massachusetts infantry, which was recruited in Worcester, and he saw three years of hard service. Included in the engagements in which he participated were Roanoke Island, New Berne, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, Camden, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and he was also under fire at the bloody battle of Atietam. Returning to Warwick after the War he was married in 1866 to Ellen M. Delva, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Delva of that town. The couple lived in Warwick and Upton for a time and then moved to Chelsea where for 36 years Mr. Mason owned and operated the Broadway Billiard Parlor in Chelsea Square. This was destroyed at the time of the Chelsea fire, but Mr. Mason went into business again for a short time. He retired from active work 14 years ago and the couple came to Orange to make their home. Mrs. Mason died in 1915 and Mr. Mason had since made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Pearson. Few men had a more even disposition, than did Mr. mason and it is doubtful if he had an enemy in the world. He was good-natured at all times and was a man with whom people liked to associate. He was a member of the Chelsea Grand Army post and when a resident there, was active in its work. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Harry McPhail of St. Stephens, N.B., four grandchildren and three great grandchildren. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock in the Pearson home, and the Rev. A.A. Blair officiated. Burial was in Central cemetery. | Mason, Lyman Dudley (I2039)

Aunt Ruth Whitaker was my grandfather's sister. We used to visit her often. She was always busy with some craft project. She even had a wood workshop in the garage. She made many wooden cut out lawn ornaments, windmills, planters etc, which she took great care in painting nicely. Uncle Leslie Wheeler (my great uncle) though no blood relation to Ruth, used to spend afternoons working with her in the workshop or doing odd jobs around the place such as putting the screen house up for the summer months.
Aunt Ruth could knit, crochet, weave, cane, and so much more. My sister and I often spent a couple days there during school vacations. She loved teaching us how to do a craft. She taught us how to make granny squares, which I did fine with, as long as she was looking over my shoulder. She let us use her knitting machine and helped me make red/white/blue mittens on it. She made me a knitting basket out of an old rectangular milk jug. She cut the top part off and punched holes along the top. She painted a pretty design on the outside with flowers, vines and hearts. She then used old bread bags (plastic) and crocheted them onto the top of the jug and even included handles. You would never guess that she had used plastic bags! I still have that knitting bag.
She was hard of hearing and had hearing aids in to help her. Sometimes you still had to speak loudly. I remember having difficulty sleeping there sometimes because her hearing aids would whistle and keep me awake. She loved to cook also and liked us to help if we wanted to, especially breakfast like pancakes. I remember shredded wheat a lot for breakfast there too.
When my grandfather could no longer live in his house due to its condition, he first came to live with us, and then went to stay with Aunt Ruth in Bernardston, before getting his apartment in Greenfield.
I still have an old wooden mirror that Aunt Ruth gave me as a child. She said she had it as a child, and it was second hand then. It has a picture of a victorian lady etched on the back of it. She tried coloring the lady to make it look more appealing. The color has faded mostly, now, but is still one of my favorite keepsakes.

In what’s lovingly called the “mouse workshop” in Carlisle, painters carefully paint tiny collectible mice and other animals for the local, family owned, worldwide business Wee Forest Folk.
The workshop opens weekly for tours, but on June 13 the workshop opened its doors for a special purpose -- the celebration of Concord resident and founder of Wee Forest Folk Annette Peterson’s 100th birthday.
The workshop held a two-day event with morning and evening sessions to accommodate all the guests. At least 90 Wee Forest Folk collectors came to celebrate Peterson’s life with cake, a raffle, a custom mouse and a visit by the founder herself.
“It was the most wonderful two days I ever spent,” Peterson said. She said that some of the collectors have become good friends over many years of collecting her animals.
“We all got old but I got the oldest,” she said with a laugh.
Peterson grew up during the Great Depression and constantly moved among foster homes. In her 20s, she worked as a secretary in New York City.
Although Peterson never had any formal art training, she said she always liked to make art that made people happy. When Peterson worked for the Red Cross during World War II, she painted a scene of bunnies in the countryside on the wall. She said her coworkers enjoyed it and that “it was good to have a little foolishness” because the war was so devastating. | Benson, Annette J. (I7935)
