In Memoriam
The death of Mrs. John \V. Long:
after amonth’s illness. in the noonday
of her beautiful life, came as a shock
to our people atui tilled the hearts of
all with inexpressible grief and pain.
There is tiiat in the very announce
ment that is heartbreaking: that one
who has lived such a beautiful and
helpful life in our midst for almost
eleven years, radiating so much of
good cheer, sunshine, love and happi
ness should be taken away fro.it those
she loved so well, is like Nature's
chastening rod and has smitten our
entire community.
As we have listened to the expres- j
sions of sympathy and love on the
lips of our people, our h art tells us
that her loving husband and little j
children have lost the only life that
so overflowed with love and sacrifice
for them. Their home life was ideal
and she was the center of its life and
joy, her gentleness and tenderness
always ministering to their every
need, and now that those ties are
broken, the husband must go on to
the end trying to bind up the wounds
his little ones suffer and bear his own
great burden and loss, and the dear
mother, sister and brother also
• Will sitrli for the touch of ;t v*uished hand.
And a voice that forever is stilled *’
On December 27th, Mrs. Long ac
companied her husband to Omaha on
a business trip, arriving home on
New Year s Eve, apparently in her
usual health, which for years had
been delicate. On New Year's Day
she was taken ill and for about two
weeks confined to her home, suffering
from a return of an acute attack of
stomach and heart trouble caused bv
thyroidism or exopthalmic goitre, i
about two weeks before her death
taking to iier bed and gradually grow
ing weaker until her spirit passed
away on Monday, January 31st.
The funeral services were held from
the Methodist church, February 2nd.
at 2 o'clock iif* the afternoon, and
although the day was stormy and
bitter cold, our sympathizing and sor
rowing people crowded the church,
and on every hand was the most
beautiful display of flowers, attesting
the affection of friends at home and
abroad. At the home a beautiful
service was rendered ty the P. E. O.
sisterhood and at the church Hew
W. C. Harper spoke the words of com
fort to the mourning ones, and the
Eastern Star chapter gave their j
touching ritualistic service, after
which all that was mortal of the
departed was laid to rest in Ever
green cemetery.
Our hearts go out today in tender
est sympathy to the loved ones at
home: those alone who had the privi
lege of entering the charmed circle
know the void left there. To the
heartbroken husband, always worthy
of her love, devoted to her and ever
dear to her: to the sweet children
bereft of a mother's care and love:
to the dear mother who idolized her,
and to her sister and brother and
friends who yet remain, these were
her jewels. Her blessed life will be
enshrined in their memories as long
; as life shall last.
