This is the text of Jennie Long's obituary from the family files. The copy of the newspaper article does not contain the name of the publication it appeared in or the date of the publication. We can assume it was the newspaper in Trinidad, Colorado. Jennie Long died March 19, 1940 in Trinidad. Since the article says she "passed away at 1:45 a.m. today," the publication date of the article must be March 19, 1940.

Born at St. Louis, Mo., July 8, 1860, deceased had come to Colorado more than half a century ago. Besides her husband, George Long, she leaves one son, Clifford Long of this city, an adopted daughter, Mrs. H.R. Sabine of Alamosa, Colo. Two nephews are Will Glaze of Mt.

Her husband, prior his retirement a few years ago had been a railroad engineer for 50 years and for a long period of that half century had run on the south division between Trinidad and Texline.

Tracing Jennie Glaze Long's Family Lineage
It has taken several weeks of searching family files and Ancestry.com to find out who were the parents of Jennie Glaze Long, my great grandmother, who was married to George S. Long. This is because we have no records directly linking her with her parents. All we knew of Jennie was that her maiden name was Glaze, she was born in 1860 in or near St. Louis, and that she married George Long in Denver in 1886. George S. Long III, their grandson and my uncle, spent several years researching our family history but was unable to find the name of her father or mother, even though he had a professional genealogist looking at one time. However, when Uncle Steve died I was given several folders containing family information he had compiled over the years. One of the items included in the folders was an obituary about Jennie Long written when she died in 1940. The obituary contained one item of information which allowed me to trace her family connection using Ancestry.com. Basically, the trail goes like this:
The 1940 obituary mentions that she is survived by two nephews, one of whom is Lyman Glaze of Augusta, Kansas.
Researching the name "Lyman Glaze" and the location "Augusta, Kansas" turned up several census records showing that a Lyman Logan Glaze resided in Spring Township, Butler County Kansas during the years (going backwards in time) 1930, 1920, 1910 and 1900.
Augusta, Kansas is in Butler County. Spring Township is also in Butler County and is located about 4 miles northeast of Augusta on Haverhill Road.
In the 1930, 1920, and 1910 census records, Lyman L. Glaze is listed as the head of his household with his wife and children. On the same page of each of the three census records and immediately following his family is that of another "Glaze," who is James G. Glaze and his wife, Maggie. Since they are listed so close together on the same page, they were living in close proximity to each other. James is 32 years older than Lyman. Since they are both listed as farmers, it seems probable that Lyman is James' son who stayed on or near the family farm when he married and began his own family.
This father-son relationship seems to be confirmed by the 1900 census which shows James living with his wife Maggie and 17-year old son, Lyman in Spring Township.
In 1940 Lyman, Jennie's nephew, is still alive and living in Augusta. This is a strong indication that his deceased father, who died in 1937, and his aunt Jennie were brother and sister. In all of these census records, James indicates his father was born in Missouri.
The name "James Glaze" also turns up in the 1880 census in Sullivan Village, Missouri, which is in Franklin County just south of St. Louis. In this census 30-year-old James Glaze is living with his 24-year-old brother, Americus Glaze, and his 19-year old sister, "Martha J. Glaze." Interestingly, the younger brother, Americus, is identified as the head of the household. There is no mention of their parents and, apparently, they are not living with them. We don't know the reason for this. This census was taken in June, 1880. Since Jennie was born in July of 1860, she would have been 19 at the time of the census. This strongly suggests that Jennie Glaze Long, born in St. Louis in 1860, is the Martha J. Glaze living with her brothers in Franklin County in 1880.
There are two family trees in Ancestry.com which identify the father of James G. Glaze, father of Lyman Glaze and born in 1850, as James G. Glaze, born in 1821 in Ohio. They are, to the best of my knowledge, my great-great, and great-great-great grandfathers by Jennie Glaze Long, their daughter and granddaughter.
