about his place of business. Several
weeks ago his health again began
to decline and for some days failed
rapidly, however few days before
his death he seemed much better,
and Tuesday morning considered
going to Columbus with his son and
wife on a business trip. After eat
ing dinner, he and his wife were lis
tening to the radio, and just as the
announcer had signed off Mr.. Long
ley turned the radio switch, at the
