T. Roy Long, age 42, died in a local clinic here Wednesday afternoon from gunshot wounds allegedly inflicted by his wife, Mrs. Alma Howell Long, early morning at their home five miles north of town.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the home of the deceased's father, Tom Long, at two thirty o'clock and interment was made in the Corinth Cemetery six miles south of Winnfield. Rev. Alwin Stokes, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, assisted by Dr. B. C. Land, pastor of the First Baptist Church and Rev. G. A. Morgan, pastor of the First Methodist Church officiated.
The fatal shooting of Mr. Long was the culmination of family disagreements. According to statements made by Mrs. Long she fired on Mr. Long when he attempted to enter her room by forcing the door open after she had warned him to stay out. The incident occurred about six o'clock Wednesday morning before Mr. Long was to go to his work as foreman of a road crew for the Louisiana Highway Commission.
Mrs. Long was taken into custody by Sheriff Bryant Sholars who transferred her to Caddo Parish jail at Shreveport since the local jail does not have the facilities for keeping women prisoners. A charge of murder was filed against her Wednesday afternoon following Mr. Long's death. She will be held in jail pending action of the Grand Jury that convenes March 7.
Records show that Mrs. Long had filed suit for separation and papers were served on Mr. Long Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Long is survived by three children, a son, Clifford, age 22, a daughter, Maudine, age 14, and a small son, John D., age 11, his father, Tom Long, three sisters, Mrs. Maude Machen, of Winnfield, Mrs. Gustine Bowen of Kilgore, Texas, Mrs. Myrtle Carter of Calvin, three brothers, Floyd C. Long of Pineville, L. C. and R. R. Long of Winnfield.
