Record Source: In speaking of the death of Squire Bennett, of Mason, the Times-Star says: "He came to Cincinnati in 1840 with but twenty-five cents in his pocket. He had but a penny left after paying for supper and lodging. He went bravely forth the next day to find employment and his courage won. After years of labor, in which offices of honor and trust were bestowed upon him, he departs to an eternity of peace."

Many organizations have been formed within our limits. Some were only of short duration; others have been longer kept up. The temperance people have at different times organized societies, but none are now maintained.

The Horse Rangers has been among the most noted orders. It has for its object the maintenance of the laws of our land, by detecting villainy and outlawry in its various forms. It was organized in 1849, but not until 1850 was it ready for emergencies. Its early members were James Bowyer, P. W. Wikoff, Garret Wikoff, William Kendall, J. M. Duvall, Alfred Voorhis, Joshua Cox, William McVay, R. H. Cunningham, William Harper, Ralph Moore, William C. McVay, J. A. Dodds, Aza Coleman, Thomas White, Jos. Dodds, William Cox, Peter Faust, W. W. Howard, J. Ross, W. W. Van Hise, J. F. Thompson, A. J. Hoff and S. Voorhees. Since then its work has been well done. More than twenty horses have been stolen from its members, but, by its quick work and detective force, they have never lost a horse, and, in most cases, have captured the thieves. Sometimes the expenses of recovering a stolen horse would amount to $500 (which is always borne by the company) when the horse stolen probably was not worth $50. The number of members now is 164. The present officers are: P. W. Wikoff, Captain; J. M. Voorhees, Lieutenant; R. H. Bennett, Secretary; B. M. Cox, Treasurer. An order of this kind established five years ago at Twenty Mile Stand now has seventy members.

Mason Grange, No. 49, P. of H., was organized May 10, 1873, by S. H. Ellis, then Master of State Grange. There were about twenty charter members. R. H. Bennett was chosen as Worthy Master, and B. F. Lee as Worthy Overseer. This organization is still in existence, but interest in it is rather on the decline and the number of members greatly reduced.

Mason Lodge, No. 209, I. O. O. F., was instituted February 21, 1853, by J. Hamilton, Grand Master, with six charter members and the following officers: John Loree, N. G.; Joseph A. Dodds, V. G.; D. R. Whittaker, Recording Secretary; J. M. Duvall, P. Secretary; F. T. Bundy, Treasurer. These, with William McAulley, were the original members. The number of initiations from the instituting of the lodge to the present time is 180; those admitted by card, 22. The present membership is 52. The officers now are: J. C. Bennett, N. G; J. M. Wood, V. G.; L. L. Dodds, P. and E. Secretary; S. K. Bowyer, Treasurer.

Favorite Lodge, No. 118, Knights of Pythias, was instituted at Mason, Ohio, October 23,1879, by E. Kuhn, P. G. C., and acting as G. C., with twenty charter members, viz., J. C. Bennett, A. C. Recker, D. W. Bishop, William Randall, S. K. Bowyer, L. R. Randall, W. S. Bowyer, H. J. Sausser, G. W. Sausser, R. Mount Cox, L. L. Dodds, Christ Erbeck, J. H. Vallandigham, J. M. Vandyke, J. W. Fibbe, B. F. Welton, T. F. Hall, M. C. Wikoff, John Kohl,
