He had driven off the grade and was in a field with a team and spring wagon and the team plunged into a deep lace and started down the stream. In attempting to guide them to the bank the wagon was upset and he was drowned. The deceased was about 25 years old and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George and Mary Moore Long, who are well known residents of the vicinity of Guss. Three years ago the fourth of July, Long was married to Aurora Davis, the daughter of A. C. Davis now a resident of Clarinda. And about two years ago a daughter was born. It seems that the union was not as happy as it should have been and two weeks ago the wife, feeling that she no longer endure the treatment she was receiving, took the child and wen to her father’s home. She immediately announced proceedings for divorce on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment, and an order had been issued by the court restraining the husband form disposing of his property until the matter could be settled in the courts. Long went last week to see his wife, but she refused to admit him. He was going to Clarinda Monday for the purpose of seeing his wife or at least having his friends see her with a view of arranging matters between them. This sudden and unexpected tragedy ends the controversy between them. Adams County Free Press, Corning, Iowa, Saturday, July 18, 1902, page 1 Drowns near Clarinda, Tip Long, who lives near Guss, was drowned Monday a couple of miles east of Clarinda.
