Mrs. Julia M. Long passed away very suddenly Sunday evening. She had been about all day as usual and early in the evening was out of doors with her son-in-law to look at the comet, soon after which she went to her room to prepare for retiring. In a short time her daughter heard her call and medical aid was summoned, but she passed away at about 10:30 after an illness of about two hours. The funeral takes place at the house at 3 o’clock p. m., Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Emma Long-Drefke arrived yesterday, and her sons Chas. of Rochester, Minn., and Frank E. will be present at the funeral, also her granddaughter Mrs. Louise Uecker of Tollestan, Ind., and perhaps other relatives of the deceased.

Julia Maria Henderson was born in Bloomingdale, N. J., Nov. 4th, 1833. This was her home until about the age of six when she moved with her parents to Freedom Forge, Pa. Here she grew to womanhood and on the 1st of February, 1855, she was united in marriage to Josiah Long. About two years subsequently they moved to White Pigeon, Mich. They lived there one year and then moved to West Union, Iowa. In the autumn of 1866 they came to New Oregon and when the town site was changed they came to Cresco which has been her home ever since. In Aug. 1899 Mr. Long died. There were six children, three sons and three daughters. Two, James and Ida died in infancy. Four are now living—Mrs. M. A. Kline of Cresco, Frank of Minneapolis, Mrs. Emma Drefke of St. Paul, and Charles of Rochester, Minn. She was raised in the M. E. church and was a firm believer in the doctrines of Christian religion. She was a pioneer settler and one of the first business women of Cresco.
After an illness of about three hours she passed to her reward on Sabbath evening Jan. 23rd, 1910, at 10:30 p. m. Besides her children she leaves a brother and sister in Kansas, four grandchildren and one great grandchild. Funeral services were held at the home of her daughter Mrs. Klein Wednesday and burial was in Oaklawn.
