• Obituary: Star Tribune, 2012, Minnesota, USA. Mason, Monte A. age 95, Chanhassen, MN, left us on October 12, 2012, at St. Joseph's Hospital in St. Paul as a result of a stroke he suffered a few days prior to his death. Betty, his wife of 72 years, and his children were with him. Monte was born on January 23, 1917 in Fertile, MN, to Gina (Dahl) and James D. Mason. In 1941 he married Betty, the love of his life. Together they have three children. A 1940 graduate of Macalester College in St. Paul, Monte's professional career in the publishing/ printing business included owning and operating (with his wife, Betty) the Monticello Times. His journalism career began at the age of 19 when he became the youngest newspaper editor in Minnesota after taking over the operation of the Fertile Journal upon the death of his father and concluded with a number of years as a highly successful salesman at Webb Publishing Co. in St. Paul. Monte served in the US Army- Air Force during World War II <http://www.legacy.com/memorial-sites/ww2/?personid=160454209&affiliateID=940> and was recalled to active duty during the Korean War <http://www.legacy.com/memorial-sites/korean-war/?personid=160454209&affiliateID=940>.
