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.
