Death



Mrs Charles Long, met her death very suddenly this morning, by being struck near town by the train due here at 9:40 It appears that her husband, Charles Long, works out about Graham, and his good wife was taking his dinner out to him, and being very deaf, failed to hear the train and she was struck by the same. A wagon was near the place,and she was taken to the Cottage hospital, but was dead before she reached the same. Mrs Long was one of our most esteemed and highly respected citizens, and leaves an aged husband and several children to mourn their loss.
