“Service Through the Community”

Sheriff Claude C. Mason’s tour of duty ended on June 15, 1938 as a result of a gunshot wound. Sheriff Mason and Deputy Homer Turpin went to the home of Donald Ashe in Webster to serve commitment papers when Sheriff Mason was shot in the shoulder and chest by a shotgun blast. Deputy Mason returned to town to get assistance and others later returned to arrest Mr. Ashe and found him dead in an upstairs bedroom from an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound.
