General Notes: Husband - Richard S. Long
He was reared on the farm and attended the common school. In business he very closely followed the example of his father, and met with about the same success. At the age of twenty-two he went west and engaged in buying stock, of which he made heavy shipments from Iowa to Chicago. He dealt principally in sheep and cattle, and of the latter owned at one time 900 head, in company with others in the West. His home farm consisted of 261 acres of land, well stocked and improved.
In politics Mr. Long was a Republican, and he and his wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which he was one of the leading officers.
