Gastonia Gazette, April 12: Mrs.
Philip Long died suddenly at about II
o'clock Friday morning at her home
near the Avon mill as the result Of an
epileptic fit 20 which she was subject.
The body was taken to Stanley Creek
Saturday morning at 9 o'clock for
burial. Mrs. Long is survived by a
husband, who works in the Avon mill,
and one child. :. Union services were
held Sunday night at the First Baptist
church. The sermon was preached to
a large audience Of the several congre-
cations by Rev. J. L. Oates Of Hick-
ory Grove, S. c., who was here last
week to assist DR.. ]. G.. Galloway In
communion services at the A. R. P.
church. DR.. Galloway and Rev. E. L.
Balm, with the pastor, Rev. w. H. Red
dish were on the pulpit rostrum. Rev.
M. Meg. Shields was out Of town, at
tending the presbytery at Rutherford
ton. 1.-The effects Of sin as seen in the
life of Samson" was the subject Of the
sermon by Mr.. Oates. Sin blinds, sin
degrades, sin destroys self respect and
manhood. The picture. Of the Naza-
rite, the strong and powerful man who
was once judge Of Israel, now blind,
degraded, and grinding at the mills OF
the Gentle dogs in GAIA, was vivid
one. Impressively the preacher said,
,r hut M
is not. There is a remedy for sin. It's
shackles may be broken. its prisoners
may be released. Upon the uplifted
cross there hangs One whose blood
cleanseth US from all sin. Look and
live. Amen" Our Associate Reformed
friends say that they enjoyed a feast
of just such sermons in the series de-
livered last week by this fluent, fervid,
devout, earnest preacher at their
church. Mr. Oates is a CASTOR county
man, a cousin of Mrs. L. H. Long, and
of Mr.. John T. Oates and was reared
between ca stonia and Bessemer City.
His old friends justly feel warm in
terest in this consecrated young min
ister.. 80. Mrs. Martha Edith Mclean
departed this life last Friday afternoon
about O'Clock, at the home Of her
only daughter, Mrs. c. E. Adams. Born
Jan. 10, 1923, Mrs. Mclean was in the
S2nd year of her age and her death was
due to the infirmities Of her advanced
years. Saturday morning her body
was borne away to old Bethel, where
her childhood and the days Of her act
i've womanhood were spent, and where
so many Of her loved ones sleep. There
she was laid to rest in the Bethel
cemetery, after funeral services con-
Quoted about noon by Rev. w. A. Ar
rowood, the pastor. Mrs. Mclean was
born near Bethel and was a daughter
Of Matthew Bigger. One brother,
Moses Andrew Bigger, survives her,
and lives with his son, DR.. Isaac Big
ger at Bethel. March Z, 1850, she was
married to DR.. John D. Mclean, who
died twenty-three years ago. The
marriage was happy union of two Of
the most prominent families Of that
day and time. At what is known as
the old Youngblood place they spent
their early married life. There all
their children were born and reared.
In 1859 DR.. Mclean built a new home
at what was known as the Houston
place, where he spent the remainder of
his days. OF the five children born to
them Mr.. John D. B. Mclean, the first
born, and Mrs. Matte Adams, the
