General Notes: Husband - George Jefferson Long

---

He was just a child when his mother died, and the family, bereft of a loving mother's care, were all separated and widely scattered, to live in new homes. On New Year's Day, 1839, then a lad of some thirteen summers, George Jefferson Long became one of the family of Isaac Ailes, and here the orphan boy found a loving home. Here he remained until attaining his majority, in the meantime learning the trade of carpenter, which he followed to some extent in after life. In 1861 he commenced the business of undertaker at Coal Centre, Washington County, Pennsylvania, which he successfully carried on, until he retired.
He was an earnest supporter of the M. E. Church. Mr. Long united, June 22, 1869, with the Pike Run I. O. O. F., at California, and was a charter member of Vista Lodge at Coal Centre; he filled all the Chairs in the Lodge, and was a member of the Encampment. In politics he acted with the Republican party.
