Another old home in SHUBUTA has burned down. It was not just a house, but a home. I, Jerry D Mason have called this place home since 1971 when my dad retired from the Air Force. I was born in Alaska, lived in Texas, then Spain before settling in Shubuta. My parents both graduated from Shubuta. My roots are strong in Shubuta. Being both a historian and a genealoigist I have researched the history of Shubuta, and the early settlers of the area. Shubuta is my home. I love Shubuta
And I am not leaving. Not sure where I will be resting my head along with my fur-babies, but right now with help, love and support of my neighbors and friends and have a roof over my head.
I lost almost everything. I buried one of my pets, Beau, in my family pet cemetery along Lil Bit. But I want the people of Shubuta to know I will be here and hopefully you will see me back to riding around with my pets picking up trash.
And THANKS to all that showed up to help on Easter Day to help keep my neighbors houses ok
