Dr. Georga W. Long, of Graham •

. I
• the. funeral scvvico yAs held ut the ’
First Presbyterian . Chuvch Sunday |

in Oakwood cemetery,, ;
Death came as a relief to Doctor i
Long after lojig suffering. He had;
not been strong in a'ecent years but:
was engaged in the practice of his
profession "until the 3rd of last Keb-'
ruary, when he entered a hospital in
Salisbury for treatment. .4fter seven '
weeks thei'e he went to Baltimore foi'
an operation. He returned to his
home in Grabgni last August and it
was then known that his case was,
hopeless. After a short stay in Gra
ham he was bi'ought to Statasvillu
and entered the .Sanatoriuiii here tv%'0
months ago—to await the end. His
malady wa.s canccr of the prostrate
glands.
A sad feature of Doctor-Long’s ias£
ill ness was that his wife, who has
been an invalid for a long time, was
taken to a hospital in Richmond soon '
after her husband was brought to
Statesville, where she is yet under'
treatment. Doctor Long is survived
by tviro children—Mrs. B. H. Adam»
~~of Statesville ■and' Mr. George W. ■
Long. Jr., of Graham. These and his
youngest brother, Judge B. F. Long,
of Statesville, wore with him. Three;
other brothers—Kev. Dr. W. S. Lon?
of Chapel Hill, Rev. Dr. D. A. Iiont;
of Burlington andjilr. Jacob A. I.ong •
of Grahuni—and the only sister, Mrs.'
J. N. H. Clendenin of ilmham, wero
here for the funcral-
The funeral wa.^ largely attended
and the floral tributes were unusually'
numerous and beautiful. Doctor Lon;;:
was ai\ elder in tht Presbyterian'
Chunli and his |>a.‘=tor. Rev. I'r. T.
j*. McConnell of fjraliam, coiulu^-t.id
the service, a.^ssi.^ted liy Rev. Dr. C, E.'
Kaynal. Doctor ilcConnell said he ■
hardly knew whether to offtr con-'
dolence or co.'igratiilation; that in all;
his e.\:perienca as a minister he had ■
never known a more earnest,
seifish, submis.«ive Christian—one
tvhom he could s;iy with full confi
dence that he had entered into the
heavenly home. Dr. Raynai also
paid tribute to the deceased and read i
,a brief sketch of his life. Doct.ir -
I.K>ng was a member of the Pythians |
and members of the local lod^e at-;
' tended the funeral In a body and ren-
- tiered the Pythian burial service at
tte grave.
George Washington Long, son of
thtt late Jacob and Jane Stuart Long,
was born in Alamance county. July
1848 and was in his sixty-eighth year
at the time of his death. At the age
of 16 he responded to the call of Gov
ernor Vance and entered the Oca-
federate service. He was educated
at the high school in his home town,
at Hillsboro Military Academy and
at the University of Pennsylvania,
pearly the whole of his career as a
physician was spent in his home com-
nnnity, where he was much beloved.
About IS 'years ago he located in
StatesvilJe, but after a few months
here he returned to Graham, He
was distingiiish^ in his pcofes»on—
had been president of the State Medi
cal Society, a member of the State
Board of Examiners, and superinten
dent of liealth for Alamance County.
Se was also frequently honored bj
