Perry Long Dead
When that word came to town Saturday night it was hard to believe it true, as only a week before he had returned from attendance at the I. O. O. F. grand lodge at Mason City in apparent good health. In fact the writer walked up town with him from the depot the day he returned and he remarked to us then that he was feeling fine, and told us of the work accomplished at the grand lodge and of the good time they had there. But in a few days after he was attacked with the flu and in spite of all that human hands could do he grew worse steadily and at about ten o'clock Saturday night he passed away. At the time of his death the entire family were in bed with the same malady. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning in charge of the Odd Fellow lodge of New Market of which he was a prominent and valued member, and burial was in the Guss cemetery. The funeral was necessarily private because of the disease from which he died and only a delegation of the lodge members were present and a few relatives. Because of the illness of his wife and family it was impossible for us to get his obituary at this time but we hope to get it later.
Perry Long was a prince among men and no man stood better in the estimation of the people of this community than he did, and his loss will be keenly felt by all, and especially by the membership of the Odd Fellow lodge in which he was a loyal and earnest worker. It can be truthfully said that he was truly a good man.
To the stricken wife and family the sincere sympathy of the entire community is theirs in their great affliction, and may the great All Seeing Eye cover and protect them.
