General Notes: Husband - John Long

---

He attended the common schools of Belmont County, Ohio. He learned the trade of plasterer, which he followed twenty-five years. He was also a bricklayer, stone mason, farmer and miller. Mr. Long was about twenty-six years of age when he came to Fayette County, Pennsylvania. After his marriage he located at Brookville, and was engaged in plastering for seven years. He then located, in March, 1884, in Dunbar township, and followed his trade for one year. After that time he followed farming. His farm contained one hundred and sixty-five acres of fine land.
Mr. Long was an Odd Fellow, a member of the Red Men and the Junior Order of American Mechanics. He was one of the organizers of the Dunbar Lodge of Odd Fellows, and the Connellsville Lodge of Red Men, and helped to organize the Lodge at Leisenring, and filled a number of offices in the orders. He was a lifelong Democrat. He was for ten years central committeeman, and against the strongest kind of opposition he never failed but once during his entire term of service to lead his party to victory. He served as delegate to a number of conventions for his party in the county. In February, 1895, he was elected to the office of road commissioner for Dunbar township, and filled the same until the act was repealed and the office abolished in 1897 by the legislature. No township in the county could boast of such model roads as were to be found in Dunbar during the period that Mr. Long was in office. During his incumbency of office the township suffered from two floods, which destroyed fourteen bridges. The taxes were raised to five mills to meet the increased expenses on account of loss of bridges and to keep the roads up to a high standard.
Mr. Long and his family were Presbyterians.
