Share family history with historical group

The Mason County Historical Society is developing a family history of archives of past and present residents of Mason County.

Anyone who wants to share a record of their time in Mason County can fill out and return a form that includes your name, where you were born, children, spouse, education, military service and occupation. You can also fill out forms for other family members and friends.

Visitors to the Mason County Historical Museum often ask questions about their ancestors. Forms are available at the museum at 427 West Railroad Ave. in downtown Shelton, by calling 360-426-1020 and online at http://www.masoncountyhistoricalsociety.org.

In 1938, Shelton-Mason County Journal Editor Grant Angle used the same form to compile a history of early settlers in the county.
