Bud Long (1884 - 1937)
Madisonville Democrat, (Monroe Co. TN) Wednesday, November 24, 1937, Page 1:
“Bud Long was born July 4, 1884, and died of a brain hemorrhage on Nov. 21, 1937, being 53 years, three months and 22 days of age at the time of his death.
Surviving are his wife, three sisters and one brother.
Bud was a good citizen of Madisonville and was known and liked by everyone. Many people of Monroe County will be sorry to learn of his passing.
Funeral services were conducted Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. at the Baptist Church, with Rev. C.S. McCoy in charge.
Sometimes we cannot understand why Bud had to leave us, but someday maybe we will meet him where there’ll be no more parting, but all will be joy and happiness.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones, to whom we say, weep not as those who have no hope, but rejoice in the blessed assurance that there is a land where troubles never come and where all is bright and fair.”---Written by a friend, Mrs. Coot Moser.
