Mary Johnson Crow McKinney Long, widow of the late Hadley P. Long died at the residence of her daughter Mrs. R. F. Dorr on Sept. 12, 1918 of old age. She had been in feeble health for some time, for several weeks her life had been despaired of.
When the end came her four daughters were with her, they are: Mrs. Nannie Foster, wife of R. N. Foster, Mrs. Nellie Wigginton, wife of A. M. of Fredonia; Mrs. Anna Dorr, wife of R. F. of this city, Mrs. Mollie Davis widow of Henry, Mrs. Audie Terry of Missouri. Mrs. Long's son, George McKinney, died many years ago. Besides her daughters she has nine grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and one gg grandchild being Elizabeth Foster, two- and one-half years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Coleman Foster.

Funeral was preached at residence of her son-in-law, R. F. Dorr. Interment at the new cemetery, Mapleview, her remains were laid beside her husband. Both mounds were covered with beautiful floral designs sent by friends and daughters. Pallbearers were Senator Maxwell and Senator W. J. Deboe.

The deceased was born at Morristown, Hamilton Co., East Tenn., which took its name from her grandfather Morris. Her maiden name was Mary Johnson Crow. Her father was a man of means.

At age 14 she was married to Charles McKinney and on account of her extreme youth and estrangements came between her father and his new son-in-law and his daughter and her husband moved West and settled in Missouri, but later moved to Kentucky and lived in Chapel Hill.

After the death of her first husband, who is buried near Sisco Chapel (in the Binkley Cemetery), she was united in marriage to Hadley P. Long and soon afterwards moved to Marion and built the Long homestead where they dispense a hospitality that will long live in the memory of her friends.

After the death of Mr. Long, she lived for several years in the old home till compiled by her friends to give it up, at which time she has made her home with Mrs. Dorr.
The most lovable character that ever resided in Marion and was loved and honored. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Marion and held membership for many years at the old church which stood in the cemetery.
Mrs. Long lost her family Bible while moving many years ago and she is uncertain as to her age but is not much short of the century mark. She placed her age at 96 but some of her friends place it at four years more.
