I have a copy of my grandfather's funeral notice/obit. But I also found interesting that there was a notice written up about the funeral service. Thought I'd type it in because of all the local names in it. (December 1955) Long Service A largely attended and impressive funeral service for O.L. Long of 57 Buhl Blvd., was held at the L. Trevor Sample Funeral home at 2 p.m. yesterday in charge of Dr. William L. Wishart. Burial was in Hillcrest Memorial Park. Mr. Long, who was treasurer and a director of Sawhill Tubular Products, Inc. and a prominent local civic leader, died Saturday in Sharon General Hospital following an extended illness. He was 64. Active pallbearers were N.R. Mehler, Ray F. Eisenbies, Ralph Douds, Ernest D. Heintz, E.F. Resch, Mayor Myron W. Jones, John Shook, and Henry Jones. Honorary pallbearers included Paul Fair, Ray V. Turner, Henry Roemer, Jr., Louis J. Wiesen, J. B. Myers, C.H. Albright, James A. Connelly, Ray Rowney, S. B. Doyle, Carlton Shilling, Earl E. Morgan, and Phillip Ellovich. Also I have a list of district deaths (I can't figure from what news paper) of Tueday, December 1955. (Perhaps one of these names will help someone.) District Deaths Mrs. William R.
