to the Great Beyond.

life on Tuesday morning, July %.
1903. at his home up the Kanawha
river, a few miles from this place.
The remains were taken to the
home of his SON, Mr.. Newton Long,

Quoted by Rev. d. FL. Reid, pastor
of the M. E Church, South, this
city, at the home of the deceased
Mr.. Long had at all times, the
welfare of his county, and fellCw-
man at heart, and in his demise
the county looses a valuable
citizen. The founder of the
Register and the deceased, both
of whom have sailed to that shore
from which they shall never return,
were bosom friends, and their
meeting and hand shaking was one
of extreme pleasure.
To Volume II, History of the
Great Kanewha Velley, We are
indebted for the following bio
graphical sketch.
Isaac Long is descended from a
pioneer family. his father being
Adam Long, native of Shenan-
doah county, Va, where he grew
up to manhood and was married.
His wife was Annie Rosenbarger,
native of the same county, and
after marriage the two emigrated
to the Kanawha valley. They
settled on the south side of the
Kanawba river, on what is called
Sixteen Mile Greek. Here Adam
Long, with his wife and one child,
took up his abode in the wilder
ness, and. began the hard struggle
of life which was the portion of
all the early settlers on the border.
The father fought long and brave
ly against the natural obstacles
which confronted him, until finally
both he and his faithful compan-
ion found graves in the neig hbor-
hood where they lived. Their
children's names were: George,
Isaac and Elizabeth. Isaac Long
who is the subject of this sketch,
was born in what is now Arbuckle
district, July 8, 1926. and grew tc
manhood on the old homestead
He received fair education from
the neighboring schools, walking
back and forth a distance of from
two to four miles to reach the
school, house. Subsequently, he
added to his education by a nine
months course In Page county
Va, after which he settled down
and began at eighteen years of age
what has been a very active life in
farming. His share of his fathers
estate consisted of about 500 acres
of land which was principally
