Mrs. Ella Wilson Lon$

Mrs. EIla Wilson Long

Mrs. Ella Wilson Long, wife of Robert A. Long, Jounder and chairman 'of the Board of The Long-Bell Lumber Company, died at 1:15 p.m. November 22, at the Long homi in Kansas Citv. Heart trouble was the cause of her unexpected death. She had been ill but a few- days.

Mrs. Long was born March 28, 1855, on a farm in Chester County,- ttear Oxford, Pennsylvania, the daughter- of George and Eliza Jane Wilson. At an early age and following the death -of her father, she, with her widowed mothJr, six brothers and a sister, migrated to the plains of Kansas. There, battling the primitive hardships and the trials of frontier homesteaders of more than a half century ago, the Wilson family carved a farm and secured a livelihood from the virgin Kansas plains.

April 3Q 1875, Ro6ert Long opened 1 small retail lumber yard in the small town of Columbus. Kansas, and there he met a bright, attractive girl, Ella M. Wilson. Thev were married D-ecember 16,1875,just one day before Mr. Long'g twenty-fifth birthday. In speaking of those early marital days, Mr. Long has said, at the time the company commemorated its fiftieth anniversary:

"'We started housekeeping in a little 3-room cottage on one corner of the ground where the lumber yard was lo' cated. The contracl price for the labor in this little home was $60; the total coit but $700. The principal furniture was bought second-hand.

"In tliis little cottage our three children were born' Those days were happy days. Often I left the little lumber office to assist my wife in her household duties, for she had no s€rvants. She in turn often would don her sunbonnet and come over to assist me in the lumber yard, for I had no help. We, of course, were very happy when the babies began-to come, but they involved greater obligations and incleasing household duties. It became necessary to engage a maid much to our regret, because her comins removed in a large measure the privacy of our little hlome. Those who know Mrs' Long, her economical, business.like tendencies, her courageous temperament, know full well she has played her full part in helping build the business. And no one knows better than I the part she has played in whatever success has come to me."

The Longs moved to Kansas City in 1891 and werc quick to associate themselves with the Independence Boulbvard Christian Church. Up to the time of her death Mrs. Long was one of the most active workers of that church and in a guiet, unassuming way has made herself loved by hundredi of people in all walks of life. She did not care for formal society, for the theatre or display. She sometimes traveled with Mr. Long, but usually she was to be found either at the home or at the church or some of its charitable institutions. She was calmly methodical ia her every action. Her philanthropic interests vvere many and wide-spread and her donations and contributions were placed with business-like effectiveness. She kept books on her expenses from girlhood. At the home she maintained a perfect set of books for the household expenses. Such a combination of charitableness, busincss and calm efficiency bespeaks of Quaker antecedents.

An editorial in the Kansas City Star, November 23, savs:-"Characteristic modesty obscured somewhat, even to comparative intimates, the strength of character and scopc of service of Ella Wilson Long. Her life'was one of beautiful co-operation and unfailing adaptability, and while it was not unique as an example of marital devotion it was unusual in its- ranse. Mrs. Lons shared hardships with unusual its range. Mrs. g rn rts Long wrur her widowed mother and her brothers and sister when the family moved to Kansas. She knew something of relative privalions even after she married Rob'ert A. Long, al agr6itious young lumberman. She helped her husband in his business when that business, now of national distinction, was in its infancy. She shared in its growth with an understanding appreciation of its progress. She gave the kind of companionship and support that so often plays a great though inconspicuous part in the outstanding careers of men.

"Mrs. Long also was an example as a mother and as a factor in the church. Success did not change her attitude toward life. To the end she was an unassuming, helpful woman, doing her duty and exercising a quiet but potent influence in the community."

Mrs. Long is survived by her husband, two daughters and a brother. A son died in infancy. The daughters are, Sally A., wife of Captain Hayne Ellis, U.S.N., Washington, D, C., and Loula- wife of_R. Pryor Combs,- trea' surer of The Long-Bell Lumber Company and resides at Longview Farm, Jackson County, Missouri. The brothet brother is Charles Wilson, a lumberman at Caney, Kansas.

Funeral services were held the afternoon of November 24, at the Long home, 3218 Gladstone Boulevard, Kansas
