Ionia Standard, Friday, 9 Sep 1904

In the twinkling of an eye was Fred C. Longe stricken.  On Friday at midday 
friends took him to Grand Rapids for treatment.  To see him as he walked about 
at the depot, one would have judged him to be in the full vigor of his well-
known strength, but nervously he was on the verge of momentary collapse.  At 
6:30 o’clock the friends telephoned to Ionia that he had died.  Undertaker 
Bradley went to the Second City that night, and the remains were brought home 
on 10:23 train next morning.  The immediate cause of death was congestion of 
the brain, and his last hour was painless.  He simply slept into eternity.  The 
funeral was attended from the Church of SS. Peter & Paul on Monday at 9 a.m.

----------

The funeral of Fred Longe, at Catholic church, Monday morning, was attended by 
an unusually large number of sympathizing friends.  The floral tributes were 
numerous and beautiful, testifying to a wide feeling of sorrow at his untimely 
death.  The bearers were Thos. Bolen, Thos. McGannon, A. Scully, E.F. 
Gallagher, A.J. ??, and E. Haight.  Friends in attendance from out of the city 
were John Rabaut, Louis Rabaut, Joseph Rabaut, Mr. and Mrs. McKittrick, Mrs. 
Read, and Miss Lowrey, of Detroit; Mrs. Bresley, Saranac; Mr. and Mrs. J. Ebel, 
Grand Rapids; Robert Evans, Fishville.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was the 
youngest son of Frederick & Dora (Schleede) Longe; his wife was Nellie; 3 
children, Wm., Louis, & Freddie; brother Wm. G. Longe.]
