In 1910, Mason resided5389 in Scranton, PA, with his parents and brother Edwin. In 1920, following his father's death, Mason resided1557 with his mother, now a widow, and brother Edwin.
At the time of his 1927 marriage4297 to Ethel, Mason was a machine operator, a resident of Detroit. In 1930, Mason and Ethel, husband and wife, resided in Detroit; Mason was an inspector at an auto plant.
In Jan, 1920, Ethel resided4431 with her parents in Swissvale, PA. Residing with them, as a lodger, was Philip Mastin, a department store clerk. In September of 1920, Ethel married Philip. Sometime before 1927, Ethel and Philip were divorced, as she married second Mason Terrell. Ethel G Terrell was granted a divorce5390 from Mason Terrell, Oct 1, 1934, for extreme and repeated cruelty. The divorce was uncontested, and no alimony was granted.
The 1943 obituary5291 of Ethel's mother, Blanche (Veazie) Smith, mentions Blanche as "dear mother of Mrs Herbert L Moore."
Because Ethel's birth date matches, and Ethel is mentioned in mother Blanche's obituary as Mrs Moore, it is likely that Ethel is the Ethel G Moore listed4632 in the Mich Death Index, born 6 Oct 1903, died 27 Mar 1985. The obituary5391, published Mar 28, 1985, mentions her as the wife of the late Herbert L Moore, mother of the late Robert Mastin, and mother-in-law of Mrs Robert (Hazel) Mastin. Survivors were four grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren.
