Walnut Valley Times, January 16, 1903, Volume XXXIII, Number 52
Joseph Longstreth was found dead in bed at his home, corner of Hiram and 
University Avenue. West Side, in Wichita yesterday morning. Mr. Longstreth has 
been ailing for several days and the first of the week he went to a doctor who 
told he had heart disease and that it might prove fatal at any time. He told 
some of the students rooming in his house that one of his horses got unruly one 
day this week and he jerked on the lines since which his left chest had been 
paining him. He did not believe he had heart disease but said he would go to 
his daughter's if he was not better by yesterday morning. Mr. Longstreth was 
about 65 years of age. He had been a resident of Potwin for several years 
before his removal to Wichita and owned and occupied the property where T. A. 
Bowyer now lives. A great many people will remember him as a highly respected 
citizen and will regret to hear of his death. He leaves six daughters and one 
son: Mrs. John White and M. E. Longstreth of Fairview, Mrs. Al Lambing of 
Murdock, Mrs. F. H. Rose of Pontiac, Miss Leoua Longstreth, a teacher in the 
Douglass school; a daughter in St. Louis and one in Colorado. The funeral 
services conducted at 1:30 p.m. from the Potwin M. E. church by Rev. A. M. 
Wilkinson, and he will be laid to rest in McGill cemetery beside his wife and 
mother. Mr. Longstreth was born in Pennsylvania. He served through the war of 
the rebellion and was a member of the G. A. R. It is said that he belongs to 
the Quaker family of Longstreths in old England.

Three years ago his wife died in the same way.
