Notes

Source [TxSBoH-1918a] lists Fred J Masten’s birthplace as “Ordenburg, Mississippi”, but since there is no such populated place in Mississippi, this is probably a reference to “Orvisburg” in the Poplarville area. However, Fred himself listed his birthplace as “Meridian, Lauderdale County,” in source [US-SSS-1917c]. [2, 3]
Fred J Masten’s older brother Merlin provided the information that was filled in for source [TxSBoH-1918a]. [2]
