Las Vegas Age - 5/5/1917
DIED



LONG:  On train number seven, between Barstow and San Bernardino,

California, Sunday night, April 29, 1917, Edward Walter LONG, aged 40 years.

    The deceased left surviving him his widow, Nettie M. LONG, and little

Edward Walter LONG, Jr.

    The funeral services were held at the undertaking parlors of W. A.

Brown, 1335 S. Flower street, Los Angeles, Wednesday, May 2, at 2:30 p.m.,

Rev. Russell F. THRAPP of the First Christian church of Los Angeles, and

Rev. J. L. COLLINS of Las Vegas, officiating.  The pall bearers were U. L.

WELLS, Chas. MADDEN, W. G. HOUSTON, J. H. JOHNSEY, O. C. CAZEL and E. N.

HAIGHT, four of whom are brother Masons, and all members of the railroad

orders and close personal friends of Mr. and Mrs. LONG.  Among the Las Vegas

people attending were Mr. and Mrs. F. N. HAIGHT, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. CAZEL,

Mrs. Chas. IRELAND, Mrs. E. S. SHEPPARD and Mrs. LUNCEFORD, mother of Mrs.

LONG.

    The remains were interred in Rosedale cemetery, the services there being

conducted by Hollenbeck Lodge No. 319, F. & A.M., at the request of Vegas

Lodge No. 32, F. & A.M., of which Mr. LONG was a member.

    The many beautiful floral tributes gave evidence of the affection in

which the deceased was held.  Set pieces were sent by Bullfrog Division 766,

B. of L.E., Los Angeles Division 660, B. of L.E., Los Angeles Lodge B, of

L.F. & E., Vegas Lodge No. 32, F. & A.M., Southgate Chapter No. 18 O.E.S.,

Rainbow Division 456, G.I.A. to B of L.E., and others.

    It is with profound sorrow that we write of the passing of this good

man.  He endeared himself to those who knew him by his kindly ways and

lovable qualities.  For years he has been a familiar figure among us, always

genial, helpful and encouraging, and his loss to the community will long be

felt.  To the widow and little son the deep sympathy of all goes out in

unstinted measure.  Their's is the greater sorrow which only the Heavenly

Father in His own way can comfort in answer to the prayers which rise from

every heart.
