Paul Mason Obituary, Death – We are reporting the demise of former Morgan County Sheriff Paul “Moose” Mason with a heavy heart. Mason served in that capacity for many years. Paul held the position of sheriff from 1970 to 1977 and then again from 1983 to 1986. During this challenging time, we ask that you continue to keep the family in your thoughts and prayers. Paul Mason, formerly serving as sheriff of Morgan County Paul, better known as Moose, started his career in the law enforcement field in 1963 with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department. He held the position of Sheriff for a total of 12 years during the 1970s and 1980s, including 8 of those years during the 1970s.
The Mason family has a long tradition of volunteering in the community. Debbie Fraker, Paul’s daughter, is pictured here with her father. Debbie worked for the county for a significant amount of time in the Morgan County Title IV-D office. Grandson Charlie Fraker, who served as a Jail Officer and Telecommunicator with the Martinsville County Sheriff’s Department for many years and is now the Fire Marshal for the Martinsville Fire Department. Trenton Fraker, our great-grandson, is a member of our team of telecommunicators and also volunteers with the Green Township Fire Rescue Department. Since Paul was a Sheriff many years ago, he saw that a lot of things have changed in the Dispatch department. We are grateful to you, Paul, for your service and for coming to see us.
