VERNON LONG: Jos. Long received a message that his son Vernon had passed away in a sanitarium in Tennessee. The remains have been shipped here but the time when they will arrive in not known. Vernon was in the naval service of his country during the war and had been in failing health from tuberculosis since leaving the service.
Vernon G. Long, son of Joseph and Mabel Long, was born in Stronghurst, Ill. July 19, 1898. He passed away at the National Sanitarium in Johnson City, Tenn. Jan. 18, 1921, aged 22 years, 5 months, and 29 days. The deceased enlisted in the U.S Navy in Jan. 1917 and did service on the battleship Texas. He was discharged from service Oct. 25, 1918.
While in the service of his country he contracted tuberculosis which was the cause of his death. He was under medical treatment several months in a hospital at Portsmouth, N.H., later in a hospital in Chicago and from there was sent to the National Sanitarium at Johnson City, Tenn.
He was joined in the holy bonds of wedlock to Miss Cora Kimmett on Jan. 23rd, 1919. To this union one son, Vernon, Jr. was born 11 months ago, who with the bereaved young wife, his father, mother, grandparents, brothers and sisters and many other relatives and friends are left to mourn his untimely passing away.
In early young manhood he had accepted Christ as his savior and untied with the Christian Church in Burlington, Ia. After enlisting, he transferred his membership to the Christian Church in Portsmouth, N.H.
Funeral services were held in the Olena Methodist Church Jan. 22 conducted by Rev. D.K. Sailor. A choir with Harvey Lant at the organ offered comforting music; also a solo which fitted the occasion very nicely was sung by the pastor.
The funeral escort was composed of former sailor boys from Stronghurst in full uniform. At the Olena cemetery the interment service was read by the pastor while the comrades stood at attention. Far away the notes of a bugle blown by one of the squad could be sounding "taps." The pastor pronounced a benediction and the sorrowing party had paid their final tribute.
The members of the funeral escort were Ernest Putney, Clarence Hartquist, Max Sanderson, Charles Fisher, Orville Boyd, James Marshall and Ernest Mudd as bugler.
