Clinton MO - Nicholas Long died at his home on West Jefferson street Thursday afternoon, with the infirmities of old age, having been bedfast about a week. He was full of grit and had been remarkable strong for one of his age and did not like to give up, although he had really been in failing health for some time. He was born in Shannon county, Mo., Dec. 7, 1840, making him past 85 years of age. When a child he moved with his parents to Miller county. While a resident of Miller county he married Miss Cornelia Erland, who died in 1866. Three children were given to this union, two of who survive - Mrs. Sarah C. Colson of Kansas City; W. J. Long, Texas. Mrs. Colson come to her father's funeral. During the war, Mr. Long served as private in the Missouri State Militia, also as lieutenant and Captain. After the close of the war he located in the west part of Henry county and bought a farm of high fertility, well timbered and a creek running through. Before the war he had come here and looked over the situation, and at that time a cabin set where Fellhauer Bros. Grocery now stands and there was waving prairie grass between Clinton, Sedalia and St.Louis with hardly a cabin. When he came here, all inducements were offered to take this farm, which then was around Fellhauer store at around $5 per acre, but he turned it down and located in the west part of the county. His father James Long and uncle, Nick Long - twin brothers - also settled in this neighborhood. They bought much of this valuable land. He was a fine Christian citizen, ready for every good work, being one of the charter members of the White Oak church. The good pioneer citizens surrounded their children with the best things of life, good substantial homes and a good house of worship and taught them to believe in and worship the Lord. At the time of his death he belonged to the Clinton First M. E. Church. November 1, 1876 he married Miss Izorah Carter, who died Feb. 6th, 1901. Two children blessed this union, one of whom survives - Fred L. Long who lives northwest of Clinton four miles. June 1, 1905 he married Mrs. Lizzie Lytle who survives him. Mr. Long was a man of the highest integrity and never went into debt in his life. He believed in people buying what they could pay for and abhored debt. Mr. Long was a friend of man one who put Christianity into every day practice. He is also survived by one brothers, James Long of Lowry City, and a half sister, Mrs. Fancher, Montrose. There are nien grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. During his last illness, he was tenderly cared for by his son Fred L. Long, and family. His wife was unable to get around, as she had gotten her foot scalded just a few days previous to her husband's fatal illness. The funeral was conducted at the First M. E. Church Saturday afternoon. Interment in Englewood. (Obit from Henry Co. website, used with permission.)

***White Oak Cemetery records indicate that Nicholas was originally buried in White Oak beside his wife, Izorah Carter, and that he was moved to Englewood Nov 16 1950, about 25 years later. He has a tombstone at White Oak, with his DOD engraved on it. However, his death cert and obit shows that his original burial site was to be Englewood. A puzzle.

Occ: Retired farmer
Informant: Fred Long, Clinton, his son
Burial: Englewood Cemetery (note, he reportedly was originally buried at White Oak, later moved to Englewood.

Informant did not know name/maiden name of Nicholas' mother.

Note: He was moved to same plot at Englewood where his son, Fred and wife were later interred. There is an unused gravesite (Gr 3) between Nicholas and Fred's wife. It is assumed the son, Fred, arranged for the removal from White Oak to Englewood, but it is odd that Fred didn't also move his mother to Englewood. Even stranger, the Englewood records that another person (a Chenowith) was also buried in Grave 2 (where Nicholas is shown to have been buried) about 46 years later.
