In 1911, Marshall S. Mason was baptized by John R. Williams.

In 1926-27, Mason came to Freed-Hardeman and spent two week in a special course of study offered for preachers and other church workers. In 1927-28, he taught at Freed-Hardeman in the absence of brother N. B. Hardeman.

Marshall Mason was murdered near Searcy, Ark. during a gospel meeting. Hugo McCord was one of the preacher students at Freed-Hardeman in 1930-31 who raised money to equip this room which is in Old Main.

On the first of June, 1933, more than seven years after the passing of his first wife, Homer E. Moore married Winfred Mason of Springfield, Missouri, the widow of M.S. Mason. Later they started "Christian Woman" magazine, now owned by the Gospel Advocate Company.

I have been looking for the grave site of a preacher I knew when I first started preaching. I was living in Smithville, MS between 1969-1974. Arnold Shattock, Jr. was preaching for the Liberty church of Christ in Dennis, MS. I meet him several times at our area preacher meetings. He was always very excited about preaching the gospel. I remember he walked with a limp, but I never knew why. He was a young man, but died suddenly while living at Dennis. This week the church secretary at Liberty sent the following information: Arnold Shattuck was buried on July 25, 1972 in the Forest Hills Cemetery in Chattanogga TN, located at the hill of Look Out Mountain, Section 14 Lot number 140. Even though he died 36 years ago, I still think about him and rejoice in his hope.
