Obituary—Mrs. Rebecca Ellen Long
Mrs. Rebecca Ellen [Cavender] 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 October 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 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. [atherine] Barnum, now Mrs. B. [enjamin] F. [ranklin] Farrell resides in Page county Iowa.
After Mr. BarnumÕs death she continued to reside in Clarinda until her marriage with Jasper [Newton] 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.[live] , now Mrs. [William] S. [ilas] Ingram of Siam; Florence A. [Evaline] now Mrs. A.[lbert] R. [ice] Snodderly of Greeley, Colo.; and Minnie A. [lvina] now Mrs. Harley T. [ilden] 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 adornment to the homes of her children. Her trustful unassuming
piety, and her child-like 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 sanctity 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 insidious disease gradually grew worse and worse. Everything that talented 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 acquaintance to her bedside, 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. [ilden] Pace [Minnie Alvina], 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 days.
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.

W. S. Ingram Dead.
W. S. Ingram died suddenly at his home near Bedford, Saturday morning,
January 10, 1925. He had suffered for two years or more with heart trouble, yet the end came unexpected and was a shock to the family and the many friends.

He is survived by his wife, father, four children, one grandson, four brothers, four sisters and a host of other relatives and friends, his mother having departed this life April 24, 1912.
Being the son of pioneer parents he early acquired the gift of serving others. In time of sickness or trouble he was the first to help and never forgot the hospitable ways of the early settler. He was a kind husband and father and was respected by all who knew him.

The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life—there is no dead.

Old Settler Gone
On Friday, July 28, shortly before noon the spirit of Wm. Hembree returned to Him who gave it. Mr. Hembree had been in poor health for sometime but his illness did not become alarming until some two weeks before his demise. Medical skill and loving hands could not thwart the grim destroyer, and death came as stated above.
Mr. Hembree had been a resident of this community for more than fifty years, and he was esteemed and respected by all who knew him. He was a good citizen, and in his dealings with his fellow men he believed in following the Golden Rule.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the Baptist church, conducted by Revs. Field and J. Owen Smith. Plumb Masonic lodge of Siam, of which deceased was an honored member, were in charge. Interment was in Memory cemetery.
William David Hembree, eldest son of John and Martha [Mathis] Hembree, was born in Martin Co., Ind., Oct 16,1845, where he lived until 5 years old when with his parents he moved near Haysville, Ind., where he resided until he enlisted in the Civil War in Oct., 1863 in the 95th Regt. Ind. Vol. Inft. He reenlisted Jan., 1865, in the 143d Regt., Ind. Vol. Inft., and served until the end of the war. In 1866 with his Uncle, Frank Cavender and family, he came to Taylor Co., Iowa, and made his home here ever since. In Nov., 1867, he married Marjory [Ann] Hankins. To this union were born 7 children, 2 boys and 5 girls, one daughter died in infancy and the oldest son died when 18 years of age. His wife died Sept. 11, 1886.
He was united in matrimony Jan. 11, 1893, to Martha Dougherty, and removed to New Market in Nov. 1912. His wife passed to eternity Feb 28, 1916.
On Oct 16, 1918, he married Phebe E. [llen] Mead, who survives him.
In young manhood William Hembree confessed faith in Christ. On his visit while home from the army on a furlough he was taken very sick and promised God that if He would spare his life he would serve Him as long as he lived. He recovered from his sickness, returned to the war and like some others under similar circumstances, forgot his vow.
While living 5 miles south of New Market he walked to Boundary Grove now known as Kraut Trestle to attend a Methodist Camp meeting. The text of the
evening was, "Pay thy vow to the most High." Wm. Hembree remembered his vow and gave his heart to God and kept the faith to the end. His parents were Presbyterians, but after careful study he united with the Baptist Church. He was a member of the Upton Post G. A. R. He was also a member of Plumb Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Siam.
He departed this life at his late home in New Market July 28, 1922, aged 76 years, 9 months and 12 days. He leaves to mourn their loss his wife and 5 children as follows: Rosa [Bell] Hembree Hutchinson, Martha [Jane] Hembree Farlow, Vina [Malvina] Hembree Snodgrass all of New Market; Frank [lin] Hembree of Council, Bluffs, Dollie [Mary Ann] Hembree Lindsey of Clatskanie, Oregon, 13 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren, 2 brothers and 4 sisters of Ind., also 2 brothers and 1 sister of Oklahoma.
An incident from the old home; When leaving for the west his father took his hand and said Wm. we have tried to teach you honesty, sobriety and industry and now son you are going out from among us and I want you to remember
what we have taught you and be a man." In speaking of this incident lately, Bro. Hembree remarked, how much that word "man" has meant to me.
He held the office of deacon and trustee for many years in this church and for a time was a teacher of the Bible class.
The out of town relatives and friends who attended the funeral of Wm. Hembree are: Marion Burriss, Alfordsville, Ind., Mrs. Emoral Canary and daughter, Mrs. Walter Price, Loogootee, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. Ed Smith, Bedford, Ia., Mrs. Jonas Fuller, Braddyville, Ia., Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hazleton, and Mrs. Louis Abbott, Clarinda, Ia., Mr. and Mrs. Earnest Thompson and son, Hepburn, Ia., Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cavender, Shenandoah, Ia., Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hembree and son of Council Bluffs, Wilse Cavender, Plattsmouth, Nebr., and some others we failed to get the names.

Obituary
The funeral service for Robert Dougherty was held last Thursday at his late home in Clarinda conducted by Rev. Snodgrass, and interment was in Memory cemetery. Two brothers of deceased, James and Peter, were unable to attend because of illness.
Mr. Dougherty was a well-known and highly respected citizen and his death brought sadness to the hearts of all his old time neighbors and friends.
Robert Dougherty was born in Taylor County, Iowa, September 28, 1845 and died at his home in Clarinda, February 27, 1918.
Soon after his birth his parents moved to Page County, where Mr. Dougherty resided to the close of his life. Most of this time was spent on the farm on which he proved his worth, having been eminently successful. In 1893 he moved to Clarinda where he lived at the time of his death.
He was married November 17, 1870, to Manora A. Snodgrass, to which union were born four children, T. M. Dougherty, Flova, now deceased, O. E. Dougherty, and Maude Abbott. He had five brothers, Wm. S. [helby], Samuel, both deceased, Peter, John and James B. [uchanan]; also three sisters, Martha Hembree, Sarah Jane Dougherty, both deceased, and Caroline [Matilda] Slaight. He leaves also four grand children and a mother who lately celebrates her 100th birthday.
Mr. Dougherty was an industrious, hard working man and not only succeeded in his work but loved to work for work's sake.
Browning's lines apply to him. "Man's work is to labor and leaven as best he may—earth here with heavens; Tis work for work's sake that he's needing".
He was a kind husband, affectionate father and an honest, moral citizen, and as such bade us farewell with loving remembrances, and attribute to the simplicity and dignity of honest toil and moral character.
