COTTONWOOD. CHRONICLE ~ VOLUME 28. NO. 42 COM. LONG DIES SUDDENLY ONE OF CENTRAL IDAHO'S. FOREMOST CITIZENS EX- PIRES SUDDENLY. John D. Long, chairman of the | board of county commissioners, and one of the foremost citizens of Idaho county, dropped dead at a dance in Odd Fellows’ hall, Grangeville, at 1:15 Thursday morning. Mr. Long, who was dancing, suddenly, in the midst of a dance, released his partner, and fell backward to the floor dead of heart disease. Dancers, thinking, at first, Mr. Long had stumbled, were in- clined to make light of the mat- ter when suddenly they were confronted with the fact that he} was dead. Mrs. Long was near-| by when her husband died. The body was conveyed to the Maugg funeral parlors, and later was taken to Mr. Long’s home, four miles southwest of Grange- ville. The funeral will be held from the I. O. O. F. hall Sunday at 2 p. m., Rev. Father Phelan of the Catholic Church officating. Born in Ireland Born in County Cork, Ireland, on Sept. 7, 1861, Mr. Long was 59 years of age at the time of his death. In 1879, he came to the United States, and for a year mined in California. He remov- ed to Idaho county in 1881, and for eight years followed mining at Warren and Florence. Mr. Long was married, in 1888 to Miss Bertha Swartz, and they removed to the ranch on which they have since made their home. In addition to his widow, Mr. Long is survived by two sons, Edward and Ralph, at home, by one daughter, Mrs. Herman Eisenhauer, of Post Falls, Ida.; three brothers, Timothy A. Long Clarkston; James Long, Riggins, and Pat Long, New York, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Monahan, in Ireland. A son, Lt. John A. Long, was killed in battle in France during the late war. Mr. Long was prominent in all public activities affecting Idaho county. During the war he took an active part in every local ef- fort to sustain the army over- seas, and he gave a son in the cause of humanity. He was closing his fourth term as a member of the board of county commissioners, and was a can- didate for reelection from the Second district to the county board. on the board, he carefully guard- ed the affairs of the county, in which he brought into use his many years of valuable experi- ence. Mr. Long was a breeder of purebred livestock. He took much pride in his ranch. In the death of Mr. Long this community has received a severe shock. No squarer man or truer friend existed and the latter he measured by his acquaintances. His word was his bond _ in all matters and the county’s busi- ness was handled at all times with the same degree of minute exactness as were his private affairs. Attended Board Meeting Mr. Long had been in Grange- ville attending the regular quar- terly session of the board of county commissioners. On Wed- nesday he presided at the meet- ing of the board, and transacted business as usual. He had not complained about not feeling well, and apparently was in the best of heaith. Commissioner Dale Clark and Edward S. Vincent met in the courthouse Thursday morning at 9 and passed the following resolution : It appearing that about 1 o'clock a. m., John D. Long, chairman of this board, suddenly fell dead. leaving a vacancy on the board and removing the chairman thereof. it is hereby ordered that the following resol- ution be adopted and spread up- on the minutes as a record of this book: Whereas, An all-wise Provi- dence has seen fit to remove suddenly from our midst an hon- ored citizen and valued member of this board, and Whereas, Out of regret for his | moved. During his long service s ' suspend all official acts of this hody until such time as the! shock of the death of John D. Long, the honored chairman of this board, has been somewhat overcome ; | Therefore, be it resolved that | | this board declare a recess until) Monday October 18, 1920, at 9 a.m. | DALE CLARK, Comissioner. E.S. VINCENT, | Commissioner. Attest: Henry Telcher, Clerk. The unexpired term of Mr. Long on the county board, under the law, will be filled by appoint- ment by the governor. The term expires on Jan. 1, 1921. The appointee will serve only until that time.—Free Press DAVIS, NUGENT SPEAK HERE GOVERNOR AND SENATOR SPEAK TO FAIR SIZE AUDIENCE Cottonwood this week had the pleasure of hearing two distin- guished citizens and prominent office holders of the state of Idaho, Senator John F. Nugent and Governor D. W. Davis. Senator Nugent delivered a speech in the Orpheum Theatre Friday afternoon, and for a mid- day meeting the attendance was considered very good. The sen- ator told of his record in the United States Senate during his term and also touched on many state and national issues. He strongly urged the voters to re- turn to the old primary law and condemned the present election laws. Governor Davis spoke to an audience of practically the same size as the senator, his meeting also being in the afternoon, Monday. The governor explain- ed his cabinet form of govern- rent and told his listeners of the immense saving and effici- ency now possible under this system. He dwelt the greater part of his time on state issues, but towards the end of his speech touched somewhat on National issues. | Both speakers stated that they were well pleased with the crowd, and that they _ realized meetings of this kind when con- ducted in the afternoon, as well as when roads are almost impas- able, as a rule draw a small aud- rence and therefore appreciated the efforts of those who did come to hear them. | Senator Nugent, from Cotton- wood went to Nezperce, accom- panied by Dr. J. D. Shinnick and J. V. Nash. oe Governor Davis, after his speech departed for Grangeville accompanied by Tom Parker and Bert Savage of Lewiston.
