BY THE BULLET ROUTE.
John Longley, In a Fit of Insanity, Shuffles off This Mortal Coil, After Firing Three Shots, Hits Himself Once And Expires Inside of Three Hours. Last Saturday at three o'clock, p.m. John Longley, sometimes called "The Woodville Poet," living about three quarters of a mile west of Woodville, shot himself in the forehead, expiring after two hours of suffering. For the past seventeen months Mr. Longley has been subject to fits of melancholy, brought on by two causes. Previous to that time he had drank considerably, and was on the habit of getting on protracted sprees. His daughter whom he seemed to think much of, died. Longley then stopped drinking, and made a vow that should he ever drink again, he would kill himself. Since that time he faithfully abstained from liquor, but his mind continually dwelt on his dead daughter. The cravings of appetite and the loss of his daughter, made sad have with his naturally morbid nature, and at times he was really insane. Besides these causes, he had considerable trouble with neighbors. this state of affairs kept growing worse, until at last, the unfortunate man determined to kill himself. Some time ago he had told his wife that he was going to die soon, and asked her what became of one who killed himself. She answered, by quoting a passage in the Bible. Subsequent to that time his talk led Mrs. Longley to believe that her husband might commit some kind of crime against himself or others, and she went to such neighbors as had weapons, and forbid them lending them to her husband. But notwithstanding these precautions he got a revolver from a German neighbor, Mr. -------, who had not been notified, and did not know the condition of Longley. On getting the weapon, he said something had been killing his chickens, and he wanted to kill it. He got the weapon last Wednesday, and then seemed to bend all his energies toward getting a number of neighbors to his house. Thursday he wished his wife to invite a neighbor to stay all night at their house, but she objected because they had no sleeping accommodations. A short time after Longley went to Woodville, stopping at the store. While there, he burst out crying, without any apparent cause. Saturday he went to Henry Seivers to get him to come and cut some wood. This was in the morning. Seivers having other work, said he could not come, but Longley insisted so hard, that he finally came just before dinner. After sawing until nearly thee o'clock Longley called him into the house. He sat down for some minutes in the sitting room, with Mr. and Mrs. Longley and the children. Mrs. Longley had occasion to leave the room, when her husband stepped into an adjoining bed room, and laid down on the floor. Mrs. L. on returning, stepped to the bed-room door to ask her husband to come and lay down on the lounge by the fire. Just as she opened the door, a shot was fired, the bullet hitting the door. The young man Seivers, at that became frightened and ran out of the house. Then Mrs. Longley, frightened too, ran with the children out doors. Just as they got outside two more shots followed in quick succession. The young man then went around to the room where Longley was and saw him laying on the floor, and writhing in the agonies of death. The neighbors were called in, and physicians summoned. The first shot fired did not strike him, one of the last two struck him in the forehead. He lived two hours, expiring at 5 o'clock, never uttering a word after entering the bed-room. The coroner was notified, and held inquest, as his verdict Suicide. The funeral occured on Tuesday Jan 26th.

LONGLEY, John Raymond: 24 Mar 1914 - 13 Oct 2007
Source: online newspaper posting
Porterville Recorder, The (CA) - October 13, 2007
John Raymond Longley Sr. ("Ray") was born to John Marion and Eliza Jane Longley on March 24th, 1914 in Meigs County, Tennessee. Ray was the second youngest of five siblings. In 1919, at the age of five, Ray moved with his parents and siblings to Porterville, California. Ray called Porterville home for the next 88 years. Visitation will be held on Sunday, October 14th from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Myers Chapel. A graveside service will be held on Monday, October 15th at 11:30 AM at Vandalia Cemetery. Ray attended Porterville High School and Porterville College. During the Great Depression, Ray's work included working for the McComber Pack Station near Quaking Aspens, where he packed tourists on horses into the backcountry, an experience that instilled in Ray a life-long love of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. When the U.S. entered World War II, Ray answered our nation's call and was commissioned in 1942 as an officer in the Army Air Corps. During his time-in-service, Ray attended Officer Candidate School at Miami Beach, Florida and was stationed in Victorville, California. While a Captain, Ray was sent to Guam and Okinawa. When the War ended, Ray returned to the Valley and farmed cotton and plum-prunes, raised registered short-horn cattle, and operated his own dairy. Also, Ray taught in the agriculture department at the College of the Sequoias in Visalia. While in his 30's, Ray was elected to the Joint Porterville High School and Junior College Board (now Porterville Community College). While on the Board, Ray was instrumental in moving the college from the Porterville High School Campus to a campus of its own. Ray was elected to serve as the Fifth District Tulare County Supervisor in the mid 1950s and served in that capacity for three four-year terms. While Ray was serving on the Board of Supervisors, the Board acquired farm property located on the then western edge of Visalia to build the present day courthouse, replacing the prior courthouse in downtown Visalia that had been damaged in an earthquake. After deciding not to run for a fourth term as supervisor, Ray went on to work for President Johnson's administration under the Safe Streets Act, performing criminal justice policy development in five central valley counties, including Tulare, Kern, Kings, Fresno and Madera. Ray's work contributed to the development and adoption of many key initiatives, including "Proteus," which is still active today. Ray's life-long love of the Sierras led him, Ray Banks, Max Cochran, and other like-minded friends to establish the High Sierras Stock Users Association in 1981. The organization has since grown into the Backcountry Horsemen of America, with 20 separate state organizations. These organizations are dedicated to preserving the back-county for present and future generations' enjoyment and promoting good forest land management and use policies. Rather than retiring at 60, Ray bought and managed the highly successful Porterville Horseshoeing School, which had been founded by Ralph Hoover, who taught Ferrier Science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. It gained a worldwide reputation as students from throughout the United States and around the world learned corrective and therapeutic shoeing, using their skills at racetracks and in local farrier businesses. Eventually, Ray retired with his horses to his home southwest of Porterville. Even in retirement, Ray stayed active in the community, serving as a volunteer Forest Service Ranger in the Golden Trout Wilderness. Ray leaves his wife, Paula, two sons, Dr. Karl Longley and John R. Longley Jr - four grandchildren: Eleanor-Jane Hampton, Ruthie Alekseyev, Paularae LeBaron, and Capt. John R. Longley III - and seven great-grandchildren: Tanner Hampton, Sierra, Sydney, Sian and Jakob Aleskeyev, and Emma and Sarah LeBaron. Ray also leaves an older brother, Herbert Longley of Grants Pass, Oregon, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, and many close friends. Ray was very gregarious and enjoyed his contacts with all his friends. We will all miss him dearly. For so many, he will always be "Pop." Memorial Contributions may be sent to Backcountry Horseman of California P.O. Box 1610 Oakdale, California 95361-1610. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.myersfuneral.com. Myers Funeral Service & Crematory is in charge of arrangements.

LONGLEY, Paul S: 15 May 1906 - 10 Sep 1921
Source: contributed/transcribed by Dorothy Dahlberg
The Prague Record, Prague, Lincoln Co., Oklahoma, 16 Sep 1921
Paul Longley was born in Farmington, Iowa on May 15, 1906. He left for glory just after twilight at the close of the week on September 10, 1921. He was 15 years 8 months and six days of age. It was the latter part of July 1907 when Mrs. John Longley arose quite early to prepare the breakfast for her family. The gasoline stove on which she was preparing the food exploded. Immediately the house was filled with flames. Her frantic screams aroused the sleeping inmates to the awful danger. At once they arose and immediately fled from the burning building. It was only the mother though enveloped in flames that remembered the baby. Rushing to the bed she picked up the helpless little one and gently as possible dropped it from a window. During those days Rev. Wilkin was pastor in Farmington, Iowa. The mother suffered a terrible death and when the end came he preached her funeral. The first act of his life when he came from that mother's grave was to go to the office of a Notary Public and file adoption papers for the babe who then was 14 months of age. In other words he was adopted 14 years ago by S.E. Wilkin the 25th of last July. The experience of those 14 years were such that the two were knit together in a love and devotion impossible to describe. Quite early in his life the foster father took especial pains with his religious training. Paul made the good confession at nine years of age, was baptized by his foster father shortly after he had accepted Jesus as his personal Savior. The boy of course was not without his faults and short comings. But be it remembered it was early and systematically impressed on his mind that the salvation of the soul is a glorious experience and that there is a divine realty in the religion of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. Mr. Wilkin says the closing hour of Paul's life was worth all the time and sacrifice he had ever expended on the boy. For the encouragement of all concerned we feel led of the Holy Spirit to briefly mention the farewell scene. Saturday morning when the father saw the end was near, he asked his son if he was afraid to die. The response came without hesitation or a tremor that he was not. His father asked, "you love Jesus don't you" Paul immediately replied that he did. Then he added but I am going to get well. Later in the day however he said, I guess I can't make it papa. So as the twilight hour was approaching, yes at the close of the day and the end of the week, he bade his father and close friends a farewell so sweet that it is too sacred to describe here. Shortly afterwards for a brief space of time he fell into an unconscious state. Again he rallied and became perfectly rational. He asked father who was standing near to lead in prayer. This was the last request of his father. His father at once tenderly prayed for Jesus to guide the footsteps of his boy thru the dark valley. After finishing he asked Paul if he did not want brother Ellis to also pray. A pleasing look came on his face as he said he did. As Mr. Wilkin turned to call Rev. Ellis, Paul threw up his hand and said Oh God! This was not a cry of terror or fear. It was an exclamation of joy and adoration. His father believes it was then his precious boy caught a glimpse of that beautiful city he had so often heard his father plead with the unsaved to journey toward. Brother Ellis then prayed and in reverence Paul closed his eyes. Paul did not hear Brother Ellis close his prayer and therefore remained with closed eyes and we thought perhaps he was sinking again. But he at last looked up and saw that Brother Ellis had finished he said "Amen". After this he passed away rapidly. As his feet touched the brink of death's cold sullen stream he met it as he had met all things in life with a smile. Only this smile was different in that it was a glorified one and his father believes with all his heart it was inspired by the glory world where thru the help of many others and a kind loving Savior he was able to land his dear sweet comrade and child.
