MASON WM. L. & THOS. jewelers 2 Conservatory "block. These gentlemen are natives of England, emi- grating to this country at an early age. Their father, Robt. Mason, with his family, came to America in 1854, and for four years lived in New York city. In 1858, he came to Jacksonville, where he worked at his trade of watchmaker and jeweler, with Wm. M. Mayo, remaining in his em- ploy until 1863. Here Thomas Mason began learning the trade. That year Mr. Mayo sold to Woodward & Strong, by whom Mr. Robert Mason was employed, until 1865, when they sold to Chatterton & Morton, who soon sold to Morton & Mc- Clain. In 1865, Mr. Mason started in business for himself in a small room in the rear of the present Central Savings Bank building, with a stock of goods invoicing but little over $200. Not long after he moved to Morgan street, a few doors west of his present location. When the Con-
servatory block was finished, in October, 1872, he removed to the room now occu- pied by his sons, the subject of this sketch. They purchased the business in October, 1876, which has since been conducted solely by them. Wm. L. began work at the trade in 1861, with Day & Stebbins. He afterward went to England, where he spent one year and a half in improving and finishing his trade, under an instructor. On his return, he was two years in charge of one of Mr. Mayo's Chicago stores. From there he went to Denver, where he had charge of a bench in a large establish- ment over two years. At the end of that time he came to Jacksonville. Each one of these gentlemen has had a thorough, practical training in their business, enabling them to successfully manage any part of it, and constantly increase their trade. Their Regulator is one of the best in the west. Time is taken from observations of the sun and the north star, with an improved transit instrument, similar to those used in obser- vatories. Their stock of goods is complete in every regard, and their store at all times filled with a full stock of goods in their line

MATHERS J. TABOR, grocer and dealer in queensware, glassware, etc. etc. Among the many first-class houses in Jacksonville the above firm takes a leading position. The spirit of enter- pise manifested by the late firm of Rut- ledge & Mathers, and now being con- tinued by the latter gentleman, is worthy · of more than a passing notice. The erec- tion of their large marble front building on E. State st., two years ago, shows a spirit of enterprise that the wealthy men of Jack- sonville would do well to follow, from the fact that not only would it be a benefit to themselves but a source of pride to the community. Two years ago Mr. George Rutledge, a former member, retired from the firm, and since that time the business has been conducted by Mr. Mathers, and that too in a most commendable manner. He carries one of the finest stocks of goods

in the city, consisting of staple and fancy groceries, confectionery, provisions, China, glass, queensware, dry goods, boots and shoes, hats, caps, etc. He also has superior advantages in shipping all kinds of pro- duce, provisions, etc., hence farmers always find a ready market at his establishment, and the benefit of the highest prices. Thus, by energy and fair dealing, aided by cour- teous and experienced clerks, Messrs. Saml. Brockman and George Gilman, who have been in the employ of Mr. Mathers for years, Mr. Mathers has built up an ex- tensive and well merited business. He was born in Morgan Co., educated in Jack- sonville; at twenty-five married Miss An- nabel English, of Danville. Mrs. M. passed off the stage of life April 27, 1876

Opper Peter, porter Ill. Female College Opperman Robt. barber, bds. 428 S. Main OREAR WILLIAM HON. is ana-
tive of Frederick County, Virginia. He was born Dec. 24, 1795 ; his father, Ben- jamin Orear, was a native of the " Old Dominion," and was born in 1768, and in that State received his early education. His father was born in Virginia, and his grandfather at Bordeaux, France, the latter being one of the early pioneers of Virginia. Mr. Benjamin Orear, at an early age, was married to Miss Elizabeth Irwin, daughter of William Irwin, who was a native of Pennsylvania, though at an early age he became a resident and citizen of Virginia. His ancestors were Scotch. To Benjamin Orear and wife was born a family of ten children, only one of whom is now living. William Orear is the eldest child of that family. A few years after his marriage, Mr. Orear emigrated, with his wife and infant son, to Clark County, Kentucky, and after a time, permanently settled near Boonsboro, in that section known as the "dark and bloody ground" where for a long time, Colonel Daniel Boone, the brave pioneer settler, struggled for existence against the Indians. In making his trip, Mr. Orear passed down the Ohio River, from Pittsburg, in a small flatboat, landing at a place since known as Limestone. They being early settlers, and the country in a wild and almost primitive state, had many hardships and inconveniences to endure.
