A. J. B. Longsdorf
One of the final strokes in the long public career
of one of Bluffton’s most devoted public servants, A.
J. B. Longsdorf, was painted Tuesday evening when he
was honored by the men who have been his friends
and co-workers in village government for the past 10
years.
In these 10 years he has become more than just
a bookkeeper and a secretary. He is clearly the
memory and the conscience of village government.
Mayors and councilmen have frequently turned to
him with the question "Isn’t that right Mr. Longs
dorf?”. In later years this has carried a deeper mean
ing than just being a question of facts it also
means "Can we do this?”.
Since he became superintendent of schools in
1924 he has been an active contributor, in his modest
but certain way, to many phases of community life.
Our Harmon field stadium and fine public library are
largely monuments to his foresight in the ’20s and ’30s
when he was superintendent. He has been one of the
pillars of the Lions club, particularly during its early
years. The Methodist church has also benefitted from
his attention.
The gifts and praise which have come his way
in recent weeks are fully deserved, although they can
hardly be as long lasting as the gifts he has given to
this community for 34 years.

DECEMBER SUNSET
The sun climbs a low arc from
southeast to southwest across a
cloudiess, pale blue sky, Bril-

the valley are sharply etched
agrfinst the horizon.
On such a day, there is often
a spectacular sunset. Just be

colors climb suddenly into the
sky. If atmospheric conditions
are right, the painting in the sky
means a picture to store in the
heart.
Not now the blatantly brilliant
hues of early autumn. A Decem

softer reds, rich saffrons and
broad streaks of pale blue. Some
times the colors form a gigantic,

found out when she opened a
large birthday “gift” box from
fellow employes at Crows Five
and Ten recently.
“Yes,” she admitted, “tomor
row is my birthday, but I want
absolutely nothing in the way of
gifts,” Mrs. Rupright told the
gang at Crows.
Tomorrow came and so did a
large box wrapped in many
layers of fancy tissue, tied
ribbons and addressed to
Rupright.
With protestations she
peeled layer after layer of wrap
pings, and finally arrived at the
inside absolutely nothing.
It was not until the end of the
day, and after a lot of chiding,
that the gang relented and gave
her the real birthday box.

this week honored a reliel, as the
nation observed a period of
mourning following the death of
Waller Williams, the last sur
vivor of the Civil War. Williams
was a forage master for the
Texas Brigade, led by the fabled
John Hood. In a tiny sense the
South may have outlasted the
North as Williams, the last rebel,
outlived the last Union soldier by
more than three years.
