      Milton Long, farmer and stock grower, P O Khedive, was 
born in Cumberland Township, January 29, 1838. He is a son 
of Jerry Long and Lucretia Stephens Long, also natives of 
this county. He comes of a long line of farmers of whom his 
father was one of the most prominent and also eminently 
successful as a cattle dealer in the West. Mr Long is the 
third in a family of six children; he attended the common 
school of his district, remaining on the farm until 1861, 
when he enlisted in Company F, First Pennsylvania Cavalry 
and served his country three years. He passed through the 
engagements of Gettysburg and Fredericksburg and was also in 
the Battle of the Wilderness.  When he came home from the 
army, he went to Page County, Iowa, and engaged in buying 
and shipping stock to Chicago, Illinois. After remaining 
there for a period of eight years, he returned to Cumberland 
Township where he has since been engaged in his present 
occupation and owns 330 acres of well improved land. 
  
      In 1872 he married Mary E McClelland, daughter of 
Robert McClelland who died in 1859. Her mother's maiden name 
was Elizabeth Weaver; she was of German and English descent. 
Mr and Mrs Long have one child: Mabel Long. In politics Mr 
Long is a Republican, he is a member of the G A R, and he 
and his wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian 
Church.
