Dora Mason

Notes:

Could she have also been called Alice? On the 1900 census, James Halbert, the father of Pole Mason, is shown as married to an Alice M. Maybe the is Dora Alice Mason? The ages match, and Dora Mason is said to be the mother of Napoleon Mansely Halbert. Napoleon appears to be named in honor of Dora's father. Also in the home at the time of the 1900 census was four year old William Halbert. Additionally, the 1910 San Augustine County, TX census has a Dora, the same as as Dora Mason would be, listed as the wife of William T. Conner. They have five children in their home, including a 14 year old Clarence Halbert, stepson. The WWI draft registration records shows that Clarence Halbert's full name was William Clarence Halbert...so this might be the same William Halbert that lived with James and Alice Halbert in Sabine County in 1900. Perhaps James Halbert died, or perhaps he and Dora separated and she remarried.

Dora married James Clyde Halbert on 21 Dec 1886 in Sabine County, Texas. James (son of William Washington "Dick" Halbert, Sr. and Mary Frances Allen) was born in Dec 1865 in Sabine County, Texas; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
