He was married to Mrs. Mary Sigrist October 22, 1913 and made his home in Sutton until the time of his death. He joined the Millersburg Methodist Episcopal church and held his membership at that place at the time of his death. Mr. Longstreth had an enormous circle of friends throughout the entire community. His jobial disposition and sunshiny greetings made him greatly sought after by his friends and he was known always as an excellent neighbor thoughtful of others at all times. He was one of the most patient of sufferers and had no complaint over his affliction. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was a kind thoughtful husband and loving father. He leaves a wife and a daughter, Mrs. J. C. Drumm to mourn his loss beside his many loving friends. Funeral services were held from the Methodist church Friday afternoon, September 2, at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. M. McCorkle. Members of the American Legion acted as pall bearers. The Civil War veterans attended in a body and assisted in the burial service at the cemetery. In the cemetery softly sleeping, Where the flowers gently wave, Lies our husband and our father In his lonely silent grave. All day and night he bore his pain, Waiting a cure but all in vain Till God alone knew what was best. And took him home to Heaven to rest. Farewell dear ones, but no forever, There will, be a glorious meeting On the resurrection morn. CARD OF THANKS We wish to take this opportunity to express our thanks to all who were so kind to us during the sickness and death of our dear husband and father. The the Red Cross, the Choir, the G.
