General Notes: Husband - William Templeton Long

---

He was educated in the schools of his native township, and his boyhood and youth were spent on the home farm assisting his father. On attaining his majority he started out to make his own way in the world, purchasing 100 acres of timberland. Cutting down the trees, he converted the logs into lumber, working faithfully and industriously, and was soon able to replace his original log house with a more modern frame dwelling. As the years passed he made extensive improvements, and the little patch of timber near Shawnee bottoms has been converted into a handsome, productive farm, Mr. Long also purchased the Sherer farm of 110 acres, and after his father's death bought the old homestead place. In 1904 he disposed of his 322 acres of land and brought his family to South Mahoning township, where he purchased the William McCall farm, at Ambrose, a tract of twenty-five acres owned by the widow of John Haynes, and to this he later added five acres. He resided on this property, which he operated in connection with another farm of 140 acres which he bought and improved, his son-in-law, Rev. Mr. Pardee, living thereon.
In politics he was a stanch Republican, but his temperance proclivities have caused him to lean with favor toward the Prohibitionists. He was a friend of education, and for three years acted in the capacity of school director. Mr. Long was clerk of the Baptist Church for twenty-five years, and for several years superintendent of the Sunday school; and while at Pine Flats served as trustee and member of the building committee.
