Leo P. Masset was born August 23, 1934 to Peter and Asteria (Nagel) Masset. He was raised with his siblings on the family farm southwest of Linton and attended rural school. Leo did a short stint in Milwaukee, WI as a factory worker, but returned to the family farm in short order as he found city life was not for him. Leo married DeLores Umber on September 18, 1958. They then began their family and their life together, farming and ranching. Bestowed upon them were five children of whom he loved ~ Janice, Brenda, Floyd, Eileen and Brian. Leo enjoyed life on the farm and took pride in everything he did. He was also a custom sprayer for decades and had very many customers and friends. Leo enjoyed many things in life, including but not limited to family (including his dog, Lennex), horseshoes, watching boxing, spending time with family and friends, telling stories, going to church and much more.
