Wife (1907 @ Long Island, KS): Minnie May Shields Nash** Long Island New Leaf (LINL) 1912-10-10: "There will be meetings in the Gospel Hall beginning Sunday night Oct. 13th and continuing every night until further notice. Meetings conducted by John Moffett of Centerville, Iowa and D.R. Charles of Omaha, Nebraska. Everybody welcome."** LINL 1913-1-23: "Meeting will be held at the Gospel Hall Sunday night, Jan. 26th at 7:30 and will continue for a few evenings. A. Broadfoot of Anita, Iowa will speak. All are cordially invited."** LINL 1913-2-27: "E.H. Kiser, who is staying with his daughter, Mrs. Sheridan Williams, was so unfortunate as to be seized with an attack of heart failure Thursday evening as he was returning from up town. He fell at the crossing across the street from the Gospel Hall where he laid until discovered by Donald Hammond, who immediately called John Howard and others. After being carried home he rapidly recovered and did not suffer any serious consequences except a severe bump on the forehead."** LINL 1913-4-3: "There will be a gospel meeting at the Gospel Hall Sunday evening beginning at 8 o'clock. Everybody cordially invited."** LINL 1913-4-10: "There will be meetings at the Gospel Hall commencing Sunday night and continuing through the week by James Erskine. Everybody invited."** LINL 1913-4-24: "James Erskine, who has been holding meetings at the Gospel Hall the past week, went to Calvert Monday morning." Calvert is in Norton Co., KS.

** The Logan Republican 1914-4-30: Beaver Briefs: "Last week we spent one day in Long Island, one in Prairie View and one in Phillipsburg, on a Sunday School tour. This is the first time in 16 years that we have visited Long Island. That is a lovely valley when one finally gets over the hills to it. We found a goodly number of people there engaged in church and Sunday School work. Besides the M.E.'s, the English Lutherans, the Presbyterians and the Baptists, there is a company of Come Outers who have built a gospel hall and hold meetings. Surely there is no good excuse for not attending church in Long Island. We wonder how long it will be before people will conclude to agree on the essential things of Christianity and instead of trying to maintain from four to half a dozen churches in these small towns that we have, one Protestant church and that one a lively, wide-awake church working for the good of the whole people."** LINL 1914-5-14: "There will be meeting at the Gospel Hall, Saturday night, May 16th, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and Monday night. No meeting Sunday night on account of the Baccalaureate sermon. Meetings conducted by Alex Livingston."** LINL 1914-6-11: "There will be meeting in the Gospel Hall, commencing June 13, for one week. Special word to Christians held by Alex. Livingstone of Philadelphia. Everybody welcome."** LINL 1914-10-8: "The meetings held by Donald Charles at the Gospel Hall will continue over Sunday. All welcome."** The Long Island News (TLIN): 1920-7-1: "Through the courtesy of L.D. Hammond we are able to reprint these articles from an old copy of The Long Island Leader, published July 4th, 1889, at Long Island, Kan., and which he has kept in good shape as a relic of the olden days. It was published at that time by J.N. Carl and the office was located in a building that stood where the new garage is now located. According to old settlers the main business houses were at that time located in that block and the west side of the street was completely built up from what is now the Sedman harness shop to the Gospel hall to the south of the block."** LINL 1916-7-6: "Beware. Some of the boys in this vicinity will come to grief one of these days if they do not mend their ways. Of a Sunday evening, after Endeavor, they act as if they had no home raising and as everything they saw belonged to them. Last Sunday evening a number of boys were around the autos by the Gospel Hall while the owners were attending services. A dog was watching its master's car and because it barked when the boys were too near, one hit the poor dog with something, who hadn't harmed them at all. By the way the dog howled it was no light lick it received. Then to hide his meanness the boy ran but was careful to keep his arm over his face when he passed anyone so his identity could not be known. Boys, act like a gentleman (it doesn't cost any more and people will respect you more) and not like someone that had no raising."** Long Island Press (LIP) 1926-1-8: Local Paragraphs: "Lost: Keys to Gospel Hall: C.H. Parrott". ** LIP 1926-9-17: Obituary: "Elmina Stanley was born in Iowa, April 14, 1863, and died at her home near Long Island, Kansas, September 10, 1926, aged 63 years, 4 months and 24 days. In 1878 she was united in marriage to Valentine Wolf of Atchison county, Mo. To this union seven children were born, two of whom died in infancy, and one, Mrs. Lula Beeson in 1906. She was preceded in death by her husband who passed away Jan. 3, 1922. There are left to mourn her departure one son, George Wolf, of Fort Morgan, Colo., three daughters, Mrs. Nellie Wookey, of Rattlesnake Buttes, Colo., and Hilie and Clara of Long Island, Kans., and eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Also one brother, W.J. Greene of Narka, Kansas, and two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Wolf of Rock Port, Mo., and Mrs. Cora Nixon of Payne, Iowa. Many years ago she accepted Christ as her Saviour and ever since has rested securely in the knowledge of His saving power. Although almost a constant sufferer for the last seventeen years, she was very patient, praying always, "Thy will be done". Funeral services were held at Gospel Hall in Long Island, Sunday afternoon, conducted by Mr. E.L. Ball, assisted by J.E. Brown. Interment was in the Long Island cemetery."
