Lawrence, Charley Chester

On Monday afternoon last Charley Lawrence killed himself with a shot through the heart fired from a Smith & Wesson 44-caliber revolver, at the residence of Ira Charlton, 5 miles south-east of town. Lawrence was an employee of Mr. Charlton and was alone at the house at the time of the tragedy, which occurred about 5:30 PM. A few minutes after that hour Geo Johnson, another employee, returned to the premises after being absent all day, and entering the house heard a moan from Lawrence’s room upstairs. Going up he called to Lawrence, but received no answer, and entering the room found Lawrence lying across the bed. The room was filled with smoke and Lawrence’s clothes were on fire, which was hastily put out by Mr. Johnson. Lifting Lawrence up, he discovered the wound, saw the revolver lying upon Lawrence’s folded coat and vest at the bedside, and other evidences of the awful tragedy. He hastened to Mr. J. F. Green’s residence nearby, where the news was telephoned to town and Dr Setters summoned. Mr. Johnson immediately returned to the house, but upon arrival found Lawrence had expired. The doctor’s examination showed that the ball had entered the edge of the heart and come out of the body under the right shoulder. The proper authorities having been notified, Coroner McKinley arrived from Edwall and made an investigation. In view of letters left by the deceased and other circumstances it was not deemed necessary to hold an inquest. Charles C Lawrence was 19 years old and had lived in this vicinity 12 years. He has one brother, Harry, also living here, and his parents reside at Tyler, WA, who were notified of the death and came at once in response to the summons. The funeral was held from the Presbyterian Church Wednesday, Rev A. A. Powers preaching the sermon, and was largely attended. The remains were laid to rest in the Harrington Cemetery. Several theories are advanced as to the cause of the rash act, unrequited love among them. Mr. Charlton tells us that the deceased, who was usually of a cheerful disposition, was complaining of illness on Monday morning, but it was not thought to be of a serious nature. He left several letters, and one to the public…in which he states: “I am 19. I was born in Milton, Oregon, on the 18^th of Feb 1881.” (Citizen-May 4, 1900)

Long, Ella D.

Miss Ella D.

She had an accident in a runaway July 13, and was taken to the hospital in Spokane where she remained for 6 weeks, passing away Aug 24, 1916, after an operation.  Although not belonging to any church, she always led a beautiful Christian life and has gone to be with Jesus. She leaves to mourn her loss, her mother, Mrs. Geo Long of Bluestem, two sisters, Mrs. Abe Shaw of Bluestem, Mrs. T. E. Talkington of Harrington, two brothers, Lee Long of Harrington and Mason Long of Rocklyn, and a maiden aunt, Miss Rebecca Phillips, who has always made her home with them. Besides many other relatives her father preceded her in death Aug 26, 1903. She was buried in the Harrington Cemetery beside her father. The funeral services were held at the Baptist Church and were conducted by Rev E. C. Scott, an old friend of the family, and Rev U. S. Lake, pastor of the church. The large gathering of old friends strongly bespoke the high esteem in which Miss Long was held by all. (Sept 1, 1916) Miss Ella D. Long, a prominent resident of Bluestem, WA, paid with her life for the heroism displayed in saving the life of a child in a runaway near her home six weeks ago.  The horse she drove ran away between Bluestem and Davenport. As the buggy was being wrecked she concluded to jump. The child, age 2, a daughter of Mrs. Graham of Bluestem, alighted safely from the arms of its rescuer, but a leg of Miss Long was caught between the spokes of a wheel and fractured in several places. Death resulted of shock and the injuries. Relatives were at the bedside up to the last. Miss Long, age 44, was successful in business, and with a relative conducted the ranch upon which she lived. (Spokesman Review as quoted in Citizen-Aug 25, 1916)

Leaving for California, where he remained for 17 years, he became somewhat lax in his Christian activity, but was rallied again. Since living in Washington, he has gained a large circle of friends who loved him because of his Christian integrity and loving disposition. They are satisfied that he has gone to rest with his heavenly Father. During his sickness, Mr. Long, though suffering intense pain, never murmured but has fully resigned to the will of his master. He leaves a wife and five children all of whom were present at his death bed. Besides his many relatives, he leaves many friends to mourn his departure.
