Long - Ruby - 1899
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 21 July 1899
Mr. and Mrs. George Enoch were called to Darlington last Friday by the death of Mrs. Enoch’s little niece, the youngest daughter of William and Emma Long, of Frankfort. Mrs. Long and her two little daughters were visiting her father, Enoch Thompson. The little one was taken sick on Sunday, but was not thought to be seriously ill until Wednesday, when the father was sent for. She gradually got worse until death ended her sufferings at 3 o’clock Friday morning. Her death was due to Bright’s disease with hear failure. Ruby was seven years old and was a happy and affectionate child loved by everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Long have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. About nine years ago they lost four little ones within fifteen days from diphtheria, and the fifth little darling is now laid away beside the others. Only one of six, little Fern remains. The floral designs were beautiful and appropriate and told plainer than words the love and sympathy that were in the hearts of the givers. The body was taken to Frankfort Friday evening and the funeral was at the home Saturday morning. Interment was at Green Lawn Cemetery. -s
