Mason Family Reunion, about 1925
I have a copy of this picture on which most of the people are identified
in my father's handwriting (He was Joseph Madison Mason, son of William
Gray Mason, who is the man with the white hair in front on the far right).
I will try to make clear who the people are, starting from the left:
- Man with glasses, polka-dot tie is Reuben M. Mason
- Child next to him is Maria Moye
- Man behind her is William Bland (husband of Annie Mabel Mason)
- Next girl - Don't know
- Next Man is DeWitt Freeman (husband of Mamie Lee New, the daughter of
Lillie Mason's first husband Ezra New by his first wife)
- Man next to him in coat and tie is Jim Moye
- Behind him is Zula Moye (all you can see is part of her face)
- Lady in white dress is Mamie (New) Freeman
- Behind her is Ed Moye
- Tall man in the back next to the column is Robert Moye
- White-haired lady next to him is Sarah (Mason) Moye
- Man in bow tie next to her is Ernest Moye
- Next to him is Al Moye
- All the way in front, next to the little girl (don't know her), is Beulah Moye
- Next to her is Lois Whiteside (I think she was a Moye, but am not sure)
- The man next to her in the coat and striped tie is Dr. Richard Whiteside
- Next few are unidentified
- Tall man in back, leaning with one arm on the column is Morris Moye
- Woman directly in front of him is Lela Cravey
- Woman partially behind her is Lillian (Mason) Fletcher
- Man in front is William Gray Mason
- Man behind him is Richard Fletcher
- Children in the foreground are, left to right:
- Carvey
- Dick Whiteside
- George Moye
- Jack Whiteside
- Carvey
Sarah Mason Moye, Lillian Mason New Fletcher, Annie Mabel Mason Bland,
Reuben Mason, and William Gray Mason, were all children of Madison Hodges
Mason and his wife Mary Ann Frances Ellington, of Johnson Co. GA. The Moyes
lived in Arcadia, FL, and I am guessing that this reunion was at their
house. William Gray Mason died in June, 1927, so the picture was taken
before then.
If you can identify anyone else in this picture, or if you can
clarify the relationships of these people, please write
to me (Alice Mason).
