Mrs. Long confessed her faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 15, uniting with the Chirstian church. During all these years she has been true to her Christ and very few church services were held that she was not present. She and her husband came to Kansas and homesteaded near Bronson where they lived for 31 years. They then moved to Gas City, Kans. where they made their home for 20 years. The last seven years were spent in Iola. Funeral services were held Monday at the Christian church, conducted by the Rev. J.Lee Releford. The services were uniqaue and very impressive. The church choir sang some of the old hymns. Dr. Frantz offered and impressive prayer and the sermon was extemporaneous. A great number of scripture references were used, all of them selected from markings from her own thumb-worn Bible. The lesson showed a beautiful walk with Christ on earth, until the gates swung oopen in the next world. Mrs. Wade Adams sang as a solo "In the Garden." Burial was in Highland Cemetery.
