Funeral services for Dr. H.M. Longino were held at the R.H. Beetham Funeral Home chapel at Mineral Wells officiated by Rev. T.H. Burton, pastor of the Central Christian church, officiating. The body will be taken to Haynesville, LA, for burial by the side of his wife. Dr. Logino moved to Mineral Wells in 1926.
His life was colorful to the end. A man of wide interests and experiences in the Civil War. He looked like the military type. He was an erect, slim, and active man tall and physically. He liked to talk about the war in which he had a part. Some of his vivid memories were the time he saved a Captain's life and when he saw five spies hanged in Atlanta. He was on furlough in North Carolina when General Lee surrendered. "We had orders to burn everything in front of Sherman. At times, the Yankees were burning on one side and we were burning on the other," he told friends on his birthday.
Dr. Longino was a student. He was well reared. He was devoted to his own profession. He loved books, but he often remarked that his "textbook" was the New Testament which he read daily. He was a member of the Methodist Church.
Born on the plantation of his parents, he was one of seven children. It was not an unusual thing for boys to join the army at the age of 17 and that is what he did. He enlisted in the Civil War as a member of Company I, Second Georgia Cavalry, with Forrest's First Brigade.
Following the war, he moved to Claiborne Parish in Louisiana with his parents. He was graduated with honors from the University of Louisiana in 1869. He was married to Miss Anna McLeod at Haynesville, LA. She died in 1935 after they had been married 62 years.
He practiced medicine in Louisiana for 60 years before he moved to Texas. He followed his profession while living in Jacksboro. He retired from active practice before he moved to Mineral Wells in 1926. He called himself the "horse and buggy" doctor. That's the way he answered calls if the weather was good and when it wasn't he rode horseback. "Large families were not uncommon when I practiced medicine and I have delivered as many as three babies a day and I had to ride a horse to make those calls."
Survivors: four daughters; five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. His daughters: Miss Cecile Longino of Mineral Wells; Mmes. D.D. Goode of Magnolia, AR, Mrs. Ruth Willcock of NY; Mrs. J.S. Criswell of Graham.
