I received your ever welcome letter and was more than glad to hear you got home safe. I was very uneasy about you. do try and content yourself a while for I tell you there is a great deal of sickness here. Grace and John have been chilling all this week. Charlie has been wild all the week with his jaw. He went to Stuttgart yesterday and had his old tooth taken out and is much better today. Willy and Boss went to Kitlers last Monday morning. Willy will be home next Sunday. I feel very lonely without the children. You must take good care of yourself and write often. Drive is sleeping under my feet while I am writing. I got my new dress (sic) yesterday from Kansas. It is real nice. I want to go to drying apples this week. You write and tell me if C.W. Glass is gone to Ky., and if he took his family. I will close as I have 7 letters to write. Yours truly, S. E. Mason (This is a letter written by Sarah Ellen Glass in the summer of 1893. Typed from letters brought by W.F. Mason to California in 1929.
Almira, Arkansas County, AR
August 23, 1893
Mrs. Fannie Mason. Dear wife, I will answer your most welcome letter I received today. I was so glad to hear from you. This leaves me well as common, hopeing it will find you the same. Well Fannie you say you want me to come on soon. Tell your Pa and Charles to hold the work for me I will need it. That is what I will have to depend on now for I will be flat broke when I get there. I will bring both mules and wagon and the house hold goods and that will be all I can bring, my crop is burned up entirely. That is what ruined me. I intend to start next Monday. The old man is coming through with me and all the family there will be a good crowd of us and that is all. If things out so I can't start next Monday I will write you and let you know what is the matter with me. I think the old man will get a good price for his crop, but I wont get any thing out of mine, but I don't intend to fret about it, it wont do any good, you know that as well as I do. There has not been but one rain on the crop since you left and it was a light one, just enough to make it burn worse than ever. I don't think the whole crop will make a bale of cotton or 50 bushel of corn. When I come Fannie I will stay if I can get any thing to do, any way to make a living. Well I will close, you need not answer this W.F. Mason 10:00 at night and sleepy. August 24, 1893 Fannie I will start Monday next. You need not answer this. William Mason (copied from a letter written to mama at Bland, Ark. where grandpa ran a gin, sawmill and grist mill. The year 1893 papa and mama were farming down in Arkansas River Bottoms. 1893 was a wide spread drought all through midwest and south. Mama was pregnant and their baby was still born Dec. 9, 1893 Grandpa Mason died January 4, 1895. A sad beginning for a young married couple. ..Papa wrote Grandpa's death 1/4/1895, Aunt Grace had it 1/4/1895)
The Old Weeks Place" On October 23, 1906, papa and mama took Annie, Olia and Odiss by covered wagon and went to Kiowa County, Oklahoma Territory. Papa was 36 January 29, 1906, mama was 36 that November. Annie was eleven in August 16, Olia was 6 the day we arrived at Aunt Mary's on their homestead two miles southwest of Roosevelt, OK, November 23, 1906. Odiss was just past six months old, six months old Nov. 8, 1906.
We lived on what was known as the Boston place until after Christmas then moved to the Weeks place which was a homestead located one half mile south and two miles east of Roosevelt. The Weeks were from Kansas. They had torn down this house in Kansas, shipped it to Roosevelt and rebuilt it.
Papa and Grandpa Taylor farmed the year 1907 and till fall 1908. During this time Grandma and Grandpa lived upstairs.
In 1906, the crops in that area were extra good, but 1907 and 1908 were very dry. Grandpa said that people were making a big mistake in not letting the plains remain as grasslands, that in times of drouth the top soil would blow away and farmers would have a hard struggle to make a living.
He and grandma went back to Arkansas and papa rented the Ford place which was on the next section just west of us. We moved there in Fall 1908. It was a much better house also much better land. It was here Elba was born September 4, 1909. There were quite good crops during 1909 and 1910.
The Ford place changed hands and we then moved to a farm two miles due east of Roosevelt. The crops were only fair 1911 and 1912. Nettie was born June 22, 1912. Mama's health started to fail in winter 1910. She had pneumonia and it seemed she could never gain her normal good health again. In fall 1912 papa was offered the job of "pumper" for the Roosevelt water works. The waterworks were on the Claude Stafford place just below the Weeks place, so he rented the Weeks place and we moved there in fall 1912. The $20.00 a month for the pump job was small but helpful to have for our many needs. We lived there until fall of 1917. Mama's health kept getting worse.
Oct. 19, 1917 we had a sale and sold everything but two teams and two wagons. Papa fitted them out with overjets which is an extension on each side of the wagon bed. We left shortly for Westville, OK, about 100 miles east of Tulsa. Being unable to find a desirable farm to rent and having a most unhappy, homesick family, papa and mama decided to go back to Roosevelt.
We then moved to a farm in the Consolidated school district. Here we lived through 1918 and 1919. In March 1920 we moved back in the old neighborhood in the Cunningham place. We all had the W.W.I flu, that is all but papa and Annie. Mama had it very bad. She was never able to be out of bed any more and passed away April 15, 1920.
That fall, Dec. 2, 1920 Annie married Steve Cook. We all felt it was just too much to live there and we moved back to the Weeks place and papa again had his pump job back. The years 1921, 22, and 1923 were extremely hard, no crops, no price for what there was. This was part of the after effects of W.W. I.
Olia worked for Carrie Gibson and in meantime she studied for teachers credentials. She too the examination in April 1923 and got a school to teach in the eastern part of Kiowa County south of Mountainview, not far from the Sedan community in Pecan School Dist. No. 99. School began Oct. 1, 1923 and she had 55 students in all 8 grades. She got 90.00 per month. In that November papa had another sale and he and Odiss, Elba and Nettie went to Henryetta, OK close to Annie and Steve. (author unidentified, probably Olia Mason Tiffee)
