General Notes: Husband - Solomon Long

---

He accompanied his father to Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, when the latter was about fifty years of age. Previously he had attended school in Westmoreland county, and had further opportunities in Red Bank township, later, in 1860, teaching one term of school. He remained at home and gave his father assistance until he was twenty-one years of age, and then bought a farm of fifty acres. Soon, however, the Civil war was precipitated, and on Aug. 14, 1861, Mr. Long enlisted from Armstrong County and was mustered in at Kittanning as a member of Company B, 78th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. His regiment was assigned to General Negley's Brigade, in the Army of the Cumberland. This company was enlisted for three years or during the war and took part in many serious engagements, and was particularly prominent at the battle of Chickamauga. It accompanied General Sherman's command through Georgia and it was at Atlanta that Mr. Long received notice of his honorable discharge. He went to Nashville, Tennessee, by steamer, and from there, on the "Caroline," reached the mouth of the Cumberland, thence proceeding up the Ohio to Pittsburgh. He was discharged at Kittanning Nov. 4, 1864.
After this long patriotic service Mr. Long returned to the peaceful pursuits of agriculture once more, subsequently adding to his property until he had about 164 acres, which he devoted to general farming. In his political views Mr. Long was a Democrat, and at times accepted local offices, serving frequently as a school director and also as poor director and as supervisor. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, as was his mother.
