Longfield died at Rockford, Ill., Sunday, aged 85 years. The remains were brought to this city Tuesday, and laid away in Maple Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Longfield bears a pleasant memory among her old friends. She was a woman of serene disposition and made friendships that did not weaken. Many years ago the family removed to this city for the purpose of educating their only son, Arthur Longfield, who, in due time graduated at Evansville seminary. During the residence of the family here, Mr. Longfield was an extensive property holder buying a residence in which the family lived, on Church street, now occupied by E. Rosa. Later Mr. Longfield bought at the south line of the city, a tract of land and platted what is still known as the Longfield addition. Subsequently the family removed to Illinois.
