This obituary from the New-York Tribune announcing the death of Ellen Call Long of Tallahassee is notable not necessarily for the content, but because the obituary was published outside of Florida. This obituary, like many others, avoids any criticism of the deceased and does not mention Ellen Call Long's exploitation of enslaved Africans.
