LONG, Ella The Pulaski Citizen 21 Dec 1905
Mrs. Ella Long who lives near Stella, committed suicide by taking carbolic acid. Mrs. Long was a consistent member of the Pleasant Hill Church, a true and devoted mother and a loving and dutiful wife. How sad to lose a mother and true companion, because we can not realize what a mother is worth until we have lost her.
May the good Father who is always merciful console and comfort these little ones and their father in the hour of their greatest sorrow. May they look unto Him who is able to save to the utmost all who will put their trust in Him.
Death is only a dream and some sweet day if you will only trust in Jesus you shall meet your loved one in heaven-in that sweet home of the soul, where you will never again be separated.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. H. Porter, of Columbia, and her remains were laid to rest in Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
She leaves a husband and three small children. A Friend. Stella, Tenn.
