Miss S. Irene Long

After an illness of several months from a complication of diseases, Miss Sarah Irene Long, only 
daughter of Wm. H. Long, of 230 York street, died Wednesday evening, Dec. 24, at 6 o’clock.  
She was aged 28 years, 9 months and 26 days.

He death was as the fading of a leaf, and the spark of life left her frail body without a 
struggle, the spirit passing peacefully to the “Great Beyond,” there to join a mother, a sister 
and two brothers; she being the last of a family of five children to be called home, within a 
few years.

Possessed of a bright and happy disposition, the deceased was beloved by a wide circle of 
friends and acquaintances, all of whom will regret to learn of her seeming untimely death.  She 
was a member of St. Matthew’s Lutheran church and Sunday school.  Also a graduate of the 
Hanover High school, and a member of the Alumni Association.

Funeral Saturday, Dec. 27, services at the house at 1:30 p.m., Rev. A. M. Heilman officiating.  
Interment on family lot in Mt. Olivet cemetery.
