DEATH OF MR. H.T. LONG

At midnight on October 4th, 1925, Henry T. Long, one of the most  popular 
and best business men of Comer, Georgia died.  He had been in failing 
health for six months but was always cheerful and hopeful in greeting the 
large number of friends who called to pay their respects to him during his 
confinement to his home.   Though he was just forty-three years old he had 
as many friends as any man in the town of Comer, where he had been a 
member of the K.of P. Lodge Insurance Company.  he had been and for the 
past fifteen years had been agent for the New York Life for practically all 
of his life and was a member of the Presbyterian Church one of the most 
efficient Ruling Elders in the church and always made his religion a matter 
of business and never allow anything to interfere with his duties of his 
church.  His faith in the Christian Religion was of that pure, childlike type, 
which caused him to dash into pieces any flippant logic that attempted to 
dislodge his Lord, and he believed because he had always believed that 
Jesus was the Christ and the Church was His field of service.  He had a 
genuinely brotherly spirit which gave him sympathy with a passion at his 
heart for a world struggling with its problems and was always ready to 
lend a helpin hand to those who were trying to climb upward.  During 
his last illness, when services were being conducted in his church and he 
could not attend, he requested the minister to come to his room and hold 
a service for him and his family and invited friends.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. J.A. Simpson from the Presbyterian 
church yesterday.

He is survived by his mother, Mrs. T.W. Long, four sisters, Miss Eloise 
Long, Comer; Mrs. L. C. Mize, Atlanta; Mrs. J. T. Palmer, Waynesboro; 
Mrs. P.M. Davis, Nashville, Tenn.; three brothers: G.B. Long, Gainesville, 
Fla.;
