Information: The death of Mrs. Zola Long, wife of William Long, occurred at the home of Mr. Long's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Long, near Angerona, with whom she and her husband resided preparatory to going to housekeeping, at 10 o'clock Monday night, following an illness of four weeks with typhoid fever.  She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Gilpin of Cottageville and was married on May 30, last.  Before her marriage she taught school and was among the most popular young ladies in the county.  She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and a noble christian lady whose death is deeply deplored.  Besides her husband, her parents, four sisters and two brothers survive.  Funeral services conducted by Rev. Maness, were held at Cottageville at three o'clock Wednesday afternoon.  A large crowd of relatives and friends were in attendance.   OBITUARY - Zola (Gilpin) Long, wife of J. W. Long and daughter of Lorenzo J. and Ettie Gilpin, departed this life September 13, 1915 age 22 years 4 months and 19 days.  She was united in marriage to J. W. Long June 2, 1915.  She was converted and joined the M.E. Church when thirteen years old and continued faithful and loyal to Christ and her church until death.  She was faithful and punctual as a Sunday school scholar from childhood and in her more mature years became a teacher in the Sunday school and received and merited the love and respect of her scholars as well as the approbation and will of all her associates in the school.  No duty was too difficult for her to perform when called upon by her church, and she always responded willingly, cheerfully and loyally.  As a teacher in the public schools she rendered satisfaction to both pupils and parents.  Her married life was brief.  She was devoted to her husband and no doubt would have proven an efficient helpmate and given her home the same care and fidelity that was characteristic of her in all the duties of life which she had been called upon to perform.  She bore her affliction in her last illness with fortitude and patients and all that helping hands and intelligent care and attention could do was given her by her devoted husband and sister, but without avail, as her frail body could not withstand the ravages of her illness.  Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. R. L. Maneas.  Her body was laid to rest in the new cemetery to await the coming of the Master, whom she loved and served.  H.
