MASON, L.G. Hon.
Lyman G. Mason, of Muskegon, was born in
Belchertown, Massachusetts, June 22, 1829. His father, Lemuel S. Mason, a
farmer and miller by occupation, was also a native of Belchertown, where he died
in 1844, aged forty-four years. His mother, Margaret Gates, was born in 1808,
at Belchertown, where she dies in 1843, aged thirty-five years. Our subject
attended the district schools of his native town up to the age of eleven, when
he entered an academy at that place, and continued his studies about two years.
At thirteen years of age he entered an academy at Southbridge, Massachusetts,
where he remained one year, and soon after was employed as a clerk in a store at
Worcester, Massachusetts. Here he remained until March, 1850, when he took
passage on the packet-ship “Sheridan,” from New York to California, landing in
San Francisco, July 8, 1850. Two weeks later he was appointed an inspector of
customs, and stationed on the Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s store-ships in
the harbor. After nine months in the service, he resigned and went into the
Northern mining districts, and engaged with others in running a pony express.
This they sold to Wells, Fargo & Co., on the extension of their business
throughout the Pacific States, and Mr. Mason became one of the first agents of
that Company in California. He continued in that capacity about one year, when
he resigned and returned to San Francisco to engage in lumbering and
steamboating. In connection with his lumbering operations, he furnished a large
number of poles for the first telegraph line constructed in California. He
established a steamboat-line from San Francisco to Alviso and San Jose, the
first to be operated between those points. Previous to this, however, he had
been employed as confidential clerk by Mr. George Burnham, lumber-dealer and
proprietor of large steamboat interests on the Sacramento and San Joaquin
Rivers. Mr. Mason caused to be bored the first two or three artesian wells in
San Francisco, and for some time realized good profits in supplying water to
distributers throughout the city. During 1854 he was, with others, interested
in a hardware business. In 1855 he closed up all his interests in California
and returned to the New England States, where he spent several months visiting
friends. In the latter part of that year he made his first visit to Muskegon.
The following spring, in connection with Mr. C. H. Goodman, then of Hartford,
Connecticut, he commenced the erection of a saw-mill in Muskegon. Mr. Goodman
sold his interest therein to Wilcox, Lyon & Co., of Chicago, about the time the
mill was completed. A year later Mr. Mason purchased his partners’ interest in
the mill, and continued to operate it until 1860, when he sold it to Geo. R.
Roberts & Co. He commenced in the same year the erection of another mill on a
site adjoining, which he operated until 1864, when he sold it to Bigelow
Brothers. In the latter year he formed a copartnership with Charles S. Davis,
and they erected a saw-mill, which they continued to operate until 1878, since
which time it has been operated by the Thayer Lumber Company. In July, 1880,
the copartnership with Mr. Davis was terminated, Mr. Mason succeeding to the
firm’s business. Mr. Mason has since given his attention to his real estate and
other business in which he is and has been interested in Muskegon and
elsewhere. The following is from the pen of a citizen of Muskegon, who has, by
friendly association and connection with Mr. Mason in numerous business
enterprises for nearly twenty-five years, had ample opportunity to know his
business career and judge his characteristics: “Prior to the year 1869,
Muskegon was without a railroad. Fully appreciating the need of railway
facilities to this already prominent and rapidly growing business center, Mr.
Mason in that year took the first steps towards, and was the leading spirit in,
the organization of the Muskegon and Ferrysburg Railroad Company, to build a
railroad to Ferrysburg, the nearest station on the then Detroit and Milwaukee
Railroad. He was first president of the Company, and remained in that office
until its consolidation with Allegan and Grand Haven Railroad Company, under the
name of the Michigan Lakeshore Railroad Company. Before this consolidation took
place, however, he had secured the construction of the road to Ferrysburg,
through a contract with the late W. F. Thompson, Esq., of Detroit, and the work
had gone on substantially to completion. After the consolidation the road was
built through to Allegan, and in this work Mr. Mason bore a prominent part. In
1872, Mr. Mason brought forward the scheme of building a railroad from Muskegon
to Big Rapids, in order to develop and promote a business and trade naturally
tributary to the former city, and of great importance to the lumber interests of
the Muskegon Valley. The Muskegon and Big Rapids Railroad Company was organized
for that purpose, with Mr. Mason as president, and in charge of all details
relating to the location and construction of the road. The line was surveyed
and located, rights of way secured, and a large amount of money pledged, by way
of donation, by business men in Muskegon and along the line, towards securing
the building of the road. It was at the time one of the most promising railway
enterprises in the State, and assured, to whoever might undertake its
execution, large remuneration. To secure its immediate construction, however,
Mr. Mason effected an arrangement with Hon. J. F. Joy, president of the Chicago
and Michigan Lakeshore Railway Company, by which that Company undertook the
building of the new line, and succeeded to all the accruing profits and
advantages. The original stockholders and subsidy-donors paid in their money,
and were repaid only in their share of the general benefit which resulted to the
communities on the line by reason of its construction. The road was merged with
the general property of the Chicago and Michigan Lakeshore Railroad Company, and
has been the mainstay and support of it and its successor, the Chicago and West
Michigan Railroad Company. Mr. Mason took a prominent part in the negotiations
that were had and the work that was done to insure the building of a branch of
the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad to this city in 1886; and while the credit
which may be justly due to others for their aid in bringing this important
enterprise to a successful result should not be withheld, it is but justice to
say that the result could hardly have been secured without the active and
effective co-operation of Mr. Mason. Within the past year, almost wholly
through his efforts and influence, Muskegon has secured another important
railway–the Toledo, Saginaw and Muskegon, now a part, and an important factor,
of the Grand Trunk system. When first projected, few people believed that it
was possible to accomplish its construction. Railroad building in Michigan had
apparently ceased to be inviting capitalists, and had almost stopped. Mr.
Mason’s far-sightedness, energy, pluck, and faith in the inexhaustible resources
of Muskegon, were equal to the situation, and he has accomplished what no other
citizen of Muskegon would have dared to undertake, much less have hoped to
succeed in doing. To him, and through his friendly relations with the late
Captain A. E. Goodrich, Muskegon is indebted for the establishment of the daily
line of side-wheel steamers between this city and Chicago, by the Goodrich
Transportation Company. This was done in 1862, and the line has been profitable
from the day of its inception, and has formed an invaluable factor in the
commerce of Muskegon. In this connection it should be observed that, prior to
1864, Muskegon Harbor was extremely unsafe and insecure, frequently obstructed
by sand-bars, and seldom open to steamers of the larger class navigating Lake
Michigan. Mr. Mason had long been of the opinion that no good reason existed
why it should not be made one of the best harbors on the Lakes, and he foresaw
that, if improved, it would be one of the most important. It had never received
attention from the officers of the Government, and it was left to the energy and
enterprise of one man, the subject of this sketch, to open Muskegon Harbor to
the commerce of the Great Lakes, and to demonstrate its capacity and fitness as
a first-class harbor. This was accomplished under the direction of Mr. Mason,
in the spring of 1864, at a cost of upward of fifty thousand dollars,
contributed by the lumbermen and business men of Muskegon. Its improvement
since that time by the Government has confirmed all that was claimed for it.
Prior to 1864 the lumber manufacturers at Muskegon had through many years
secured the driving, rafting, and delivering of their logs through a voluntary
association, known as the Lumbermen’s Association of Muskegon, of which Mr.
Mason was long a director and active member. In 1864 the present Muskegon
Booming Company was organized, and has ever since been handled the immense
business of driving the logs in the Muskegon River and its tributaries. Mr.
Mason was one its incorporators and first Board of Directors, and was for many
years prominently identified with the business and management of its affairs.
He has always been an active member and supporter of the Democratic party. In
times when the party was in a hopeless minority, when to be a Democrat almost
brought social ostracism, he did not hesitate to affirm his convictions, nor to
stand by them in an efficient way. He was the Democratic nominee for Congress
in the Fourth District of Michigan in the campaign of 1868, and though the
contest was a hopeless one so far as individual success was concerned, preserved
the vitality of the party organization, and contributed largely to the success
which has since crowned the party. He was the Democratic candidate for State
Senator in 1879. He was again the Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Ninth District in 1886, against General B. M. Cutcheon, and largely reduced the
former majorities of that popular politician. In 1873 he was opposed by Governor John J. Bagley, the then Republican governor of Michigan, and a member
of the commission to revise the State Constitution, authorized by the
Legislature at its session in the previous winter. This commission was composed
of some of the most eminent men in the State, of both the Republican and
Democratic parties. Mr. Mason was the first president of the village of
Muskegon after its organization in 1861. He was elected alderman in 1873 and
1874. He was elected mayor of the city of Muskegon in 1886, and his
administration of city affairs was one of the most business-like and economical
that the city has ever had. As a citizen of Muskegon, he has been one of the
few of its prominent men who have had faith in its growing and staying powers, a
belief in its natural resources and advantages, and a disposition to do what
might be necessary for its development and present and future prosperity. There
never has been discouragement or croaking, on his part, as to the future of
Muskegon. In an early day he invested largely in real estate in the city of his
adoption, and has never parted with a foot of it except for its improvement or
for the enhancement of the general interest. Besides building and operating
mills and factories, he has done more than any other man toward the
establishment of that class of buildings which show confidence in the permanence
of the place as a business center. In 1867 he converted the old mill
boardinghouse, which stood on the corner of Western Avenue and Third Street,
into what is now a part of the Occidental Hotel. In 1872 he built Muskegon’s
first opera-house, a most tasty and beautiful structure, with a seating capacity
of twelve hundred. It was destroyed by fire March 29, 1874. He was a member of
the School Board from 1873 to 1878, and during that time treasurer of the
district. Largely through his efforts and influence was erected the Central
School building in 1874, at a cost of upward of fifty thousand dollars-a
structure in which every citizen to-day takes pride. The loan for this purpose
was placed through his personal efforts. He also took a prominent part in
securing the establishment of the present water-works system, constructed in
1874 and 1875. In 1875-76 he built Mason’s Block, one of the handsomest, most
convenient and central business blocks in the city. He was one of the
organizers of the Muskegon National Bank, has been actively identified with its
management and direction since it opened its door in 1870, and for many years
has been its vice president. He is still a stockholder and president of
Muskegon Car Company, organized in 1886, for the purpose of manufacturing
railroad cars. In 1888 he built the Lyman Block, the largest and only
four-story building in the city. It is a business block, centrally located,
provided with fire-proof vaults, a passenger elevator, steam-heated, lighted by
both gas and electricity. It is, beyond dispute, the most prominent and
handsome building in the city, and bears fitting testimony to Mr. Mason’s
confidence in the future of Muskegon. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias
and Masonic fraternities. As is obvious from the foregoing record, Mr. Mason is
a man of great and extended business experience, of ceaseless activity and
energy, and of remarkable executive ability. It is rare to find a man who
reaches out in so many directions, and apparently with equal power and success
in each. This may be attributed to certain qualities of which he is a
possessor, and which are seldom combined in a man. He is a man of close,
accurate, and extended observation; and while he almost instantly takes in the
full scope and bearing of a fact or series of facts, yet his prudence leads him
to master and register in a most thorough manner details that would not strike
the ordinary man as important. He is most patient, persistent, and thorough the
acquisition of facts, dates and figures. As a result, with reference to any
matter in which he may be more or less interested, he will be found possessed of
almost every pertinent fact that bears upon it. In this respect his mind and
memory are encyclopedias. His value as a citizen can not be overestimated from
the loyalty, intelligence, and industry with which he promotes everything that
conduces to the permanence and prosperity of the community. His experience and
sagacity in all matters of business and public life are such that no enterprise
of importance, having relation to the business or public interests of Muskegon
and other localities with which he may be concerned, is undertaken without
sooner or later inviting his counsel and co-operation. He is as prominent in
social as business life. No home in Muskegon offers greater or more attractive
hospitality. No one is more often called on to aid in those works of charity
and benevolence that redeem our human nature; and appeal, if not forestalled or
anticipated, is most generously met. Ardently fond of social life and
diversion, he has been most prominent and helpful in the establishment of the
Muskegon Club, and in securing the building of the beautiful club-house. There
is probable no man in Western Michigan who is more extensively known as a
sagacious, large-brained, public-spirited man, gifted with marvelous grasp of
comprehension and executive ability, with a kindliness of heart and disposition
that rightly place him in the foreground of public esteem and confidence.” ~ Cyclopedia of Michigan, 1890

Marion W. (Mrs)
Obituary
Muskegon
Chronicle, Muskegon Michigan, Wednesday, November 4, 1925 Pioneer Resident Dies Old People's Home Inmate, Aged 99, Schoolmate of Susan B.
Anthony. The death of Mrs. Marion W. Mitchell yesterday
morning marked the passing of one of
Muskegon
county's oldest residents. She was
especially well known among the old pioneer settlers of Muskegon county, having
settled in Norton township about 45 years ago. She was 99 years of age. Although her body was
beginning to show the buffeting of life, her mind had remained clear until the
last. She took an active interest
in her surroundings, whatever the
environment. Although equal franchise did not come until she was 91 years of age, she made
use of the ballot as soon and as long as she was able. She
was born in Saratoga county, New York in 1827. She went to school with Susan B. Anthony, one of the pioneer
suffragists in the United States.
