Obituary:
Another Civil War Veteran Passes Away
Lyman Dudley Mason, 85, a resident of Orange the past 14 years and a well-known Civil War veteran, died Saturday evening at 10:30 o'clock in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank E. Pearson of 39 Winter Street. Death was the result of old age. Although his condition during the past few weeks was serious there was scarcely a day when he was not up and dressed. Mr. Mason was born in Upton, the son of Noah and Cynthia Dudley Mason, and he lived in that town until he was a young man. His parents brought the Hastings place in Warwick and he was living there when he enlisted for the Civil War in August 1861. He joined Co. A, 1st Massachusetts infantry, which was recruited in Worcester, and he saw three years of hard service. Included in the engagements in which he participated were Roanoke Island, New Berne, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, Camden, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and he was also under fire at the bloody battle of Atietam. Returning to Warwick after the War he was married in 1866 to Ellen M. Delva, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Delva of that town. The couple lived in Warwick and Upton for a time and then moved to Chelsea where for 36 years Mr. Mason owned and operated the Broadway Billiard Parlor in Chelsea Square. This was destroyed at the time of the Chelsea fire, but Mr. Mason went into business again for a short time. He retired from active work 14 years ago and the couple came to Orange to make their home. Mrs. Mason died in 1915 and Mr. Mason had since made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Pearson. Few men had a more even disposition, than did Mr. mason and it is doubtful if he had an enemy in the world. He was good-natured at all times and was a man with whom people liked to associate. He was a member of the Chelsea Grand Army post and when a resident there, was active in its work. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Harry McPhail of St. Stephens, N.B., four grandchildren and three great grandchildren. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock in the Pearson home, and the Rev. A.A. Blair officiated. Burial was in Central cemetery.

Lyman married Ellen Maria Delva on 30 Sep 1866 in Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts. Ellen (daughter of Calvin Wilder Delva and Lucy Maria Fuller) was born on 15 Feb 1846 in Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts; died on 14 Nov 1915 in Orange, Franklin County, Massachusetts; was buried on 17 Nov 1915 in Central Cemetery, Orange, Franklin County, Massachusetts.

• History: Aug 1867, Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts; Some time in August, 1867, Mrs. M. A. McKim (a former resident of Warwick), Mrs. E. C. Sibley, and Miss Sarah Ball, circulated a subscription-paper for the purpose of purchasing the blacksmith-shop lot, north of Mrs. McKim's new house in Warwick Village, and Mr. Jones's lot, north of his boot-shop, to be improved and ornamented for a public park. On said subscription-paper are to be found the names of our citizens to the amount of $325, for the purpose of purchasing said pieces of land. After said facts had become known, Mr. Jones generously presented his lot, and gave a deed thereof to the town ; and the blacksmith lot was purchased of A. S. Atherton, Mrs. McKim being the original owner. They each gave $25 for the above object. The proprietors, or rather the contributors, met at the hotel, and voted to choose a committee of three persons from their number to take charge of the funds contributed, and finish off and beautify said grounds in a suitable manner for a public park. Voted and chose Hervey Barber, Calvin W. Delva, and Edward F. Mayo, said committee, who circulated another paper for subscriptions for the above purpose ; and they obtained the promise on the same of the sum of $127.50, to be paid in money, labor, and materials, as specified on said paper, to be expended under the supervision of the committee, for the purpose of levelling, fencing, the setting of trees, and otherwise ornamenting said park. The committee soon commenced their work ; and after some delays, from one cause and another, the more prominent one being the want of funds, and the county commissioners having laid a road in such a way as to necessitate the selectmen to take a part of the proprietors' lands for the continuance and extension of said road, the lot, being fenced and nearly finished, was presented to the town, and accepted, as above stated, and a deed of warranty given by Messrs. Jones and Atherton, on condition that the town ever after keep the same in good order, and continue it as a public park.

Notes:

Name:
In 1885, Lucy was visiting her niece, Louise, and the conversation got around to the Delvee property, which would soon have to be sold to settle the estate of Calvin Delvee. They thought that the families of Calvin and Peter should get together one more time. Soon they decided to hold a reunion of all of the available descendants of the first Peter. The first reunion was held on a Wednesday, 2 June 1886, and was attended by 126 people. It was such a success that it was decided to meet each year. By the time of the second reunion, the farm had been sold to William Shepardson. The Delvey Grove was purchased from Mr. Shepardson for $60.00.

Notes:

Married:
Lucy and Calvin were joined in marriage at Warwick by the Rev. Preserved Smith.
