[Transcribed on February 16, 2008 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] Ada (LONG) WRIGHT, the fourth child of Jasper N. and Eliza J. LONG, was born near Hobbieville, Indiana, September 30, 1878, and died August 7, 1922 at Robison, aged forty-three years, ten months and eight days. She was married to Albert WRIGHT, April 28, 1900, and to this union three children were born-Jasper, aged twenty-one; Blanch, aged twenty, and Vivian, aged eleven, all of whom survive her with the husband and father to mourn the inestimable loss of a devoted wife and mother. Besides the immediate family of husband and children, she is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Della CHESTNUT, West Plains, Missouri, and Mrs. Cleta COOPER, Terre Haute, and one brother, Oscar LONG, Cincinnati, and one half-brother, Rector LONG, also of Cincinnati; her step-mother, Mrs. Amelia LONG, and a step-daughter, Mrs. Orlo{sic} GEORGE, of Koleen, and a host of other relatives, friends and neighbors, who mourn their loss with the family. Her father died twelve years ago next Sunday; her mother died when she was quite young, and an infant sister and brother have all preceded her into that bourne from whence no traveler returns. Ada (as we called her) was a woman of sterling worth, and to know her was to respect her-one who made home and family her first care, and was untiring in her efforts to provide for their welfare and comfort; a matchless housekeeper and a wiling worker in whatever she undertook to accomplish. Ada WRIGHT was never known to fail to respond to the call of the sick and suffering; was always ready to do her best for those who were suffering and sorrowful. She has been known to go among those who had contagious diseases when others refused to go, an when she, herself, was physically unable to go, but would go and do all she could for them without any thought of compensation or praise. Ada had been confined to her bed since December 4, last, and was a sufferer from complications. That all her physician and family and friends done for her was unavailing, and after a constant struggle to get well, which failed, death came to her release and she went home Monday at noon. She united with the M. E. Church at Ashcraft Chapel several years ago; had lived a consistent Christian life since. She expressed her desire to go, and said she was truly ready. It can truthfully be said she has done what she could. - The family desire to express their appreciation and thanks to their friends and neighbors for untiring efforts in helping care for and relieve the sufferings of wife, mother and sister; and Mrs. George E. Kidd for her kind and courteous services. Albert WRIGHT and Children, Oscar and Rector LONG, Mrs. Cleta COOPER. - Link to the Obituary of her step-mother, Permelia J.
