(Thursday’s Daily)
H.D. Masters died yesterday evening at 6:35 o’clock at his home 615 N. Crockett street following a ten day illness of pneumonia. His fight for life was one of courage on his part and deep devotion from family, friends and physician. Both lungs were early affected, and what with an old asthmatic trouble, and the fact that he had suffered from colds a large part of the winter his resisting power was at low ebb and his fight was in vain.
Horton Delmar Masters was born in Wanscon, Ohio, May 3, 1857. At the age of 14 he took his first position, that of operator with the old Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. From that he rose to the rank of dispatcher and as such made an enviable record. Twenty years ago he was division superintendent with the Central New England and Western with headquarters at Canaan Conn. He has been chief dispatcher for the Frisco at St. Louis, Fort Smith and Springfield. Two years ago while temporarily located at Francis, Okla., as dispatcher for the Frisco he was transferred to Hugo and took the trick from midnight to eight in the morning.
He is survived by his wife and one son Fred Masters, who is in the office of the general superintendent of the Frisco at Springfield. Short but impressive services were held at the residence this morning by the Rev. C.C. Anderson. At twelve thirty brief services by the local lodge of Elks, of which he was a member, were held and who then accompanied the body to the station. Burial will be in Springfield Sunday afternoon. At Fort Smith a number of floral emblems will be placed on the train, offerings from friends, railroad orders, the Elks, and the dispatcher’s offices there and here.
