General Notes: Husband - James M. Long
In early manhood he learned the brick-mason's trade, and worked at brick-laying and in speculating in the oil fields. In 1861, he enlisted in Co. F, 12th Reg. Pa. Vol. Inf. for three months, and then returned to labor at his trade. In 1864 he entered into the business of contracting at New Castle, and followed that occupation until 1885, when he was elected county commissioner, and served six years. He also manufactured brick at South New Castle from 1881 to 1890, when he sold out, and afterward was one of the largest dealers in building stone and sand in the town. In 1897 he again engaged in the brick business in partnership with his brother, Joseph S. He built seven houses, and owned several tenements and a fine home at No. 31 Court Street, where he lived.
He was a Republican, and a member of the G. A. R. Post and of the United Presbyterian Church.
