Dr. Minos McEobert
In connection with his practice of medicine he owned and conducted a drug store, which he sold in 1848 to Dr. D. W. Halstead. In 1850 he ceased the practice of medicine, a profession which he never afterward resumed.
In 1871, upon the organization of the First National bank, of Mason, he became its president, a position which he continued to retain up to the time of his death.
He was prominently identified with the growth and development of Mason's commercial interests, and indeed, of those of the county. He was the first register of deeds, in 1838-40, and was president of the village in 1871. Although his official life was meager, he was a public man in a truer sense; he was at the front in every praiseworthy public enterprise. His contributions to the church and to charitable enterprises were large and freely bestowed. He was an especial friend to those who were honestly and industriously struggling to secure a start in life. The men, now prosperous, who have been aided by him when they were in financial straits can be counted by the score.
