Hugh grew to manhood within one-half mile of the place of his birth. He attended Liggett School near his home.

Flood, fire, accidents, tornado injuries, and violent death was a part of their sharing, but each time they arose to face their abstacles together.

Hugh was an active Mason for 46 years. He was respected as a man of honor, and was vigorous until a few weeks before he was stricken. A part of his life story was published in area newspapers. He loved the farm and could be seen working with cattle or checking the crops until he was forced by sickness to be in the house. His highest joy was his family. He loved to speak of his sons and daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His home was always a place of reunion and good times for his beloved family.

Those left to treasure his memory include his sons, daughters, their wives and husbands; six grandchildren, on of which, Bonnie, was reared for 3 years in the home of Hugh and Nora; 20 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews, cousins, and other relatives.

Obituary - Early Wednesday morning the angel of death laid his paralyzing hand on one of the grandest mothers the sun ever shown on, in the person of Mrs Clara Jackson, and after a short struggle carried her away.

Mrs Jackson arose that morning about six o'clock, stirred the fire and called her two sons, and then laid down again. Soon the boys arose and one of them began fixing the fire when the mother called to not make any more fire as she was so warm she could scarcely breathe. Hastening to her they found she was sinking rapidly. A physician was quickly summoned but his assistance was unavailing and she passed to the great beyond at about eight o'clock.

For more than forty years she had been a resident of this community and was loved and respected by all. Home was her ideal, and how well she succeeded is best evidenced by the love and veneration accorded her by her sons.

For many years she had not enjoyed the best of health, but was able to be about most of the time, and her death came as a great shock to her family and friends.

Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at two o'clock in the M.E. church, conducted by Rev J. Owen Smith, assisted by Rev Field. Interment was in Memory cemetery.

Her husband preceded her to eternity on Feb 24, 1908.

She departed this life December 28, 1922, at her late home two miles north of New Market, aged 68 years, five months and twenty days. She leaves to mourn their loss, two sons, Dale and Lloyd, both of New Market, a step daughter, Mrs L.E. Bassett of Pala Alto, Ca., one sister, Mrs N.S. Goudie of Clarinda, and many friends.

Mrs Nancy Jane Livingston, nee Jones, was born in Fulton county, Ill., March 15, 1835. Here she grew to womanhood and while in early youth came into a saving fellowship with Christ and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she remained a faithful and consecrated member. In the year 1856 she was united in marriage to Mr. Livingston and to this union were born five sons and three daughters, one of whom preceded her in death.

In the year of 1880 she with her family came to Iowa, settling in Johnson county and a little later to Page county where she made her home until the time of her death.

Mrs Livingston was a faithful companion and a patient mother. She came down to old age with a grace and spirit which is but the result of a righteous life and a living trust in God. She said that one of the things for which she had prayed was that when she had grown old that she might be patient, and surely her prayers were answered.

Long, Rebecca Ellen Cavender Barnum - Mrs Rebecca Ellen Long, the object of this sketch, descended from an old Southern family, and was born in the City of Paris in the State of Kentucky on the 4th day of March 1839.

Her parents died in her infancy, and being left alone in the world, she went to reside with her brother in St Joseph, Mo., where she attended school and graduated from St Joseph's Academy for women. She continued to reside in St Joseph, Mo., until her marriage to Wm E. Barnum in Oct 1859. She and her husband continued to reside there until 1863 when they removed to Clarinda Iowa, where Mr Barnum enlisted in the Union Army. He was killed at Centralia, Mo., by Anderson's band of guerrillas on the 23rd day of September 1864. He was a brave soldier and faced death with out a tremor and died like a brave soldier.

Three children were born to them, two of whom, Viola and William, died in infancy, Celestia, C. Barnum now Mrs B.F. Farrell resides in Page county, Iowa.

After Mr Barnum's death she continued to reside in Clarinda until her marriage with Jasper Long, which occurred on the 27th day of December 1866 with whom she lived very happily, until his death, which occurred on their farm in East River Page county, on the 11th day of December 1904.

Six children were the fruits of their marriage: Ira D. Long of Clarinda; Carrie O. now Mrs S. Ingram of Siam; Florence A. now Mrs A.R. Snoderly of Greely, Colo.; and Minnie A. now Mrs Harley T. Pace of New Market; and Charles and James, who died in infancy.

Mrs Long continued to reside on the farm for some years, when the dwelling was destroyed by fire, since then she has resided alternately among her children by all of whom she was loved and venerated.

Mrs Long was one of those ladies of the (old school) whom it is always a pleasure to meet and converse, her beauty of mind her strength of character and her sweet disposition greatly endeared her to all who came in contact with her, and through a long life of usefulness there has never been a person who had any word but praise for her. Her kindly sympathetic voice and cheering words made her a joy and adornament to the homes of her children. Her trustful unassuming piety, and her childlike trust in God who doeth all things well, impressed one with the thought that she grew up from the innocence of childhood into mature womanhood like the beautiful rose bud that gradually unfolds into the beautiful full blown rose of the Christian life, giving forth the odor of its sanctiety to the passer by.

About the first of January 1916, Mrs Long suffered a stroke of creeping paralysis, which was not considered serious at that time, but the insideous disease gradually grew worse and worse. Everything that latented physicians could do to allay the progress of the disease was unavailing, she realized that she must soon die. She bore her sufferings with christian fortitude, and when she knew that her sun of life would soon set forever, she called a young minister of long acquaintence to her beside, not to pray but to sing of her trust in Him who died that she might live.

On the 26th day of February A.D. 1916, at the home of her youngest daughter, Mrs Harley T. Pace, in New Market, her bedside surrounded by all her living children, she passed away, with a serene smile on her face, aged seventy-six years, eleven months and twenty-six years.

Funeral services were held from the home Monday afternoon at 2:00, conducted by Rev R.E. Snodgrass of Savannah, Mo., assisted by Elder Robb. Interment was made at Memory cemetery. New Market Herald Mar 2, 1916
