Mason Family Roots: A Century of Things Built and Remembered

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A family archive tracing Robert W. Mason’s life across Ohio, Arizona, aviation, off-road advocacy, water and power, and generations of Mason-made machines.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The archive divides one family’s history into focused sections rather than presenting a single undifferentiated memoir. Its evidence ranges from a 1970 Wentworth EAA biplane and a 1951 Chevrolet pickup to 36 years at the Salt River Project, a 1992 oral history, and film of Solon from 1937. The family tree records the Marshall and Mason lines using dates the family describes as confirmed.
