AFTER SIX YEARS OF PATIENT SUFFERING
A. B. Longenecker Passes Away, -Aged 71 Years.
Addison B. Longenecker was born in Marshiem, Pa., May 23rd, 1845, and died at his home in Otsego, January 28, 1917. For nine years he lived in Pennsylvania, and for twenty-five years he made his home in Ohio. In April of 1879 he came to Michigan and has since resided on the farm where he
concluded life's sojourn. Mr. Longenecker was the son of Samuel and Sophia Longenecker, the husband of Elizabeth Kauffman, whom he married at Canton, Ohio, March 9, 1871, and who faithfully shared his life; the father of Alva Allen, who died at the age of 7 years, and Anna May DeForest, to whom the father was greatly devoted; the grandfather of Robert L. DeForest who was much comfort to him in his last days. He also had six sisters and two brothers. The subject of this sketch was of unusual energy, lived intently and achieved successfully. He was in the Civil War for nearly three years, enlisting July 22, 1862 in Co. F 45th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was mustered out June 12, 1865. He was in the Atlanta Campaign and was sorely disappointed because he could not go with Sherman in his march to the sea. Sociability characterized Mr. Longenecker. He was a Granger and a member of the Masonic fraternity. In 1882, during the pastorate of Frank
L. McCoy, he joined the Methodist Episcopal church of Otsego, and for 24 years he was a member of its official board. He was a member of the building committee during the construction of the present church which was built in 1889. He survived all the members of the committee, save one—Mr. B. A. Kevins. During the last six years of his life he has passed through firey trials, but has been patient and hopeful beyond conception. He was eager to journey on to his heavenly home. Loneliness will be keenly felt by his loved ones, but they will rejoice in the memory of his life and be encouraged by his faith, while they wait for a reunion. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 from the home, conducted by Rev. J. C. Cook.
A male quartet — Messrs. Bacon, Adams, French and Tucker accompanied by Mrs. J. K. Jackson, sang three selections and while the people were passed out of the house. The bearers, with one exception, were relatives of the deceased. Burial was made in Mountain Home cemetery.
