When she was five weeks old, the young parents, with their little daugher, came to Adair county, Iowa, buying the Walnut township farm which for nearly half a century has been the family home. Here Lula and her three sisters grew to womanhood, receiving their early education in the country school nearby and later attending the Adair high school Lula taught several years in the rural schools, keenly enjoying her work. Feeling the need of more thorough training she enrolled in the Iowa State Teachers' college at Cedar Falls, taking a course in primary training. After graduating in 1910, she taught two years in the Fontanelle schools. Later she spent two years teaching in the town schools of Orient, Washington. These were delightful days for her. The congenial climate, the grandeur of the mountain scenery, the companionship of her fellow teachers, two of whom had been her closest friends in high school days, all combined to make her stay in the west a wonderful experience. On June 28, 1916, she was united in marriage to Albert E. Long, of Casey. They establilshed their home on a farm near Casey and have lived on several different farms in the neighborhood. Two daughters were born to bless their happy home life. Mr. and Mrs. long have alwyas taken an active part in the church and communitylife. During their residence in Thompson township, Guthrie county, Mrs. Long helped organize and was president of the Parent-Teachers' association of their school district. Mrs. Long has been a life-long attendant of the church and Sunday school. As a little girl her first Sabbath school lessons were learned inthe Friends' Sunday school held in the school house near her home. When the Canby church was built she became an active member of the Friends' church, retaining her membership there until her marriage, when it was transferred by letter to the Methodist church in Casey, where she has remained a faithful member, training her daughters in her faith and always ready to help in the work of the church. She enjoyed her work as a teacher in the sunday school and was active in the W. F. M. S., where she will be greatly missed. Throughout her married life Mrs. Long kept up her custom of spending Christmas week in the home of her parnets, an occasion to which the family always looked forward with joyous anticipation. She as a thoughtful daughter, a loving wife and a devoted mother, leaving to her family the memory of a beautiful life.
