ere held at Red Oak Christian Church in Red Oak and burial was made in the Hamburg cemetery.  The following obituary is  Oak Express:

artin was born in Atchison county, Mo., March 10, 1869, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Martin. Her mother died when she a  leaving her father and three children.  After the father's remarriage, the three children lived with relatives and in the years following became separated to the extent that in May of this year a sister, Mrs. Eda Lee, now living in Hollywood, Calif., came to Red Oak where a reunion of the three children took place at the W. H. Lant home, Mrs. Long and her brother, George Martin, of Silver Creek, Nebr., had not seen nor did they know the whereabouts of Mrs. Lee for over fifty years.  The reuniting of the two sisters and brother came about as a result of Mrs. Lee writing a letter to her long lost sister, addressed to Hamburg, in her maiden name of Mary Martin where Mrs. Lee knew they were raised as little children.

"Miss Mary Catherine Martin was married at Rock Port, in 1866, to William Ellsworth Long.  Mr. Long died at Hamburg, August 17, 1922.  In March, 1926, Mrs. Long came to Red Oak to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Lant.
