It was discontinued October 12, 1868, but re-opened as Mason a month later, on November 24, 1868, with John A. Turner as Postmaster. |
| “Harris Muscleman, one of the leading farmers of this area [Mason], proposes to keep pace with his neighbors in the matter of enterprise. He is now in touch with every community in the county where the telephone reaches, and is also connected with the long distance, near Mason.” Williamstown Courier, April 18, 1905 |
“CINCINNATI, Oct. 16. — Is a stolen kiss worth S15,000? This is a question which will have to be decided by Federal Judge Cochran when his court convenes in Covington, Ky., to-morrow. Mrs. Grant Mitts, a blue grass society leader of Mason, Ky., thinks she is entitled to that amount for a kiss she declares was stolen last June by J. B. Alexander, a friend of her husband, who made a friendly call while the man of the house was not home and she has brought suit. As a result of the alleged larceny she declares she is a nervous wreck and has been subjected to much humiliation and notoriety.” San Francisco Call, October 17, 1904 |
