WASH LEMASTERS, 93, DIES AT HIS HOME, THURSDAY MORNING.
David Washington LeMasters, age 93, a life-long resident of Johnson county and one of Franklin's oldest citizens, died at his home, 451 East Madison street, Thursday morning about 10 o'clock following a short illness due to infirmities of age. Throughout the final weeks of his life Mr. LeMasters had been in good spirits and active about the house. He had been confined to his bed but two days.
Members of the family have made arrangements to hold the funeral at the home Saturday afternoon at three o'clock. The Rev. Anthony Meengs, pastor of the Franklin Presbyterian church, will have charge of the rites…..Burial will be made at Greenlawn.
Mr. LeMasters was born April 16, 1841, the son of David and Elizabeth Alexander LeMasters, pioneer residents of the northern part of Johnson county. The early years of his life were spent on the family farm about three miles southwest of Greenwood.
In 1871 Mr. LeMasters married Elizabeth Watson of Greenwood, and they moved to Franklin to start housekeeping. They lived on the north side of Madison street until Mr. LeMasters built the present home on the south side of the street where he lived for fifty years. He engaged in the sewing machine business and through his business contacts gained many friends throughout the county.
Two sons, Chester and Hal, were born this union. Chester died in 1915. The mother of the two children passed away in 1884 and in 1886 Mr. LeMasters married Maggie McCool of Indianapolis, who died in 1888. In 1891 he married Jennie Wells of Claremont who died on February 28, 1908. After her death, Mr. and Mrs. Hal LeMasters moved to his home to keep house for him.
Mrs. Donald O. Craig, a granddaughter, and two half-brothers Louis LeMasters of White River township and George LeMasters of Kansas City, Mo., along with the one son, Hal, are the only survivors.
Mr. LeMasters united with the Presbyterian church at an early age and throughout his life had been an active member and faithful in his religious duties. He took great interest in the Knights of Pythias lodge of which he was a member. Political affairs always commanded his attention and during his early years he was an active worker in the Democratic party organization. His zeal along this line never flagged and issues in government were favorite topics for conversation.
Mellowed by his many years, Mr. LeMasters' genial manner and friendly interest caused his friends to feel him a splendid example of a life dedicated to the principles of Christian living and industriousness.
