YOUNG LIFE ENDED
Mrs. O. A. Long Died of Peritonitis on Saturday

Had Mrs. O. A. Long, of the Acklin apartments, on Pennsylvania avenue
lived until today, she would have celebrated her twenty-fourth
birthday anniversary, but God in His wise providence called this young
life to the eternal world on Saturday evening at 8.20 o'clock after a
few hours' illness with peritonitis.  Only a few days ago, the home of
Mr. and, Mrs. Long was made happy by the arrival of a big boy baby.
The wife and mother was getting along splendidly when she became ill
with the la grippe, terminating in peritonitis.

The passing of this splendid young mother has left the home sad and
lonely and her death is keenly felt, not only by her immediate family,
but by a large circle of friends.  She was a most amiable young woman,
a devoted mother and wife and a sincere Christian.

Mrs. Helen Christine Schiessle Long was a daughter of Henry and Mrs.
Rose Schiessle, of Altoona, where the deceased was born March 31,
1895, making her age twenty-three years, eleven months and twenty-
nine, days.  All of her life was spent in Altoona, with the exception
of the short time she lived in Tyrone.  On June 21, 1916, she was
united in holy marriage with Octave A. Long, of Tyrone, the nuptial
mass being performed by Rev. Father Buck in St. Mary's church,
Altoona.  She was a member of St. Matthew's church, Tyrone, and the
Sodality of the Blessed Virgin of Altoona.  Surviving to mourn her
death is her husband and two sons, Robert Kenneth and Bernard Paul;
her parents, one brother and three sisters, namely: Theodore
Schiessle, Misses Rose and Anna, of Altoona, and Sister Mary of the
St. Agnes convent, Baltimore.

Funeral services will be conducted in St Matthew's Catholic church on
Tuesday morning at nine o'clock by Rev. Father J. F. Looney.
Interment will be made in Oak Grove cemetery.
