General Notes: Husband - Cyrus T. Long


He received his education in the common public schools, and at Sewickley Academy which he attended two and one-half years. He made a specialty of mathematics during his academic course, yet made much progress in Greek and Latin studies. He began reading law with Hon. Henry D. Foster in 1859, and four years later went to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where he completed his legal studies with his cousin, Cyrus L. Pershing, who subsequently became judge of one of the eastern Pennsylvania counties. In September, 1864, Mr. Long was admitted to the bar of Cambria County, and in August, 1865, to the bar of Westmoreland County, but he soon forsook that profession for what seemed to be more to his natural liking\emdash surveying, which profession he had commenced in his boyhood days. He was elected county surveyor in Westmoreland County in 1871, and re-elected in 1874. For a score of years and more he was employed by individuals and large corporations to do their surveying. He possessed a fine library on the subject, as well as a fine collection of the best standard books in literature and science.
Politically he was a Democrat and he was a member of the Presbyterian church at Greensburg, his home.
