Kind(er):
The father of these gentlemen, Peter Long, was a native of Penn. from which state he moved to Ohio in an early day. Their mother was Hilah Dorland. John was born in Crawford County, Ohio, August 22, 1825,
and Garrett in the same county on January 25, 1835.
In the year 1839, the family removed to Missouri, living in Platt county two years and then settling in Holt county.
In 1850 John crossed the plains to Solano county Cal., and remained till the next summer. He then returned
to Missouri, and married Ann Woodland Barker on January 1, 1852. She is a native of that state, and is a daughter of Henry Barker and Sarah Noland, both natives of Kentucky.
The father having died, John and his wife, with Garrett and their mother, Hilah, again crossed the plains in 1852 and settled on a farm in Solano county.
John went to North San Juan in 1855 and engaged in butchering, and in 1857 to Tehama county, where he began farming and raising stock. In 1860 he went to Eugene City, Oregon, where he engaged in merchandising and in raising stock.
In 1863-4-5 he drove stock into this region, and in 1865 moved his family here and settled on the Touchet, four miles below Dayton, where he still lives.
The next year he and Garrett built a grist mill, John owned and operated the mill from 1867 till the fall of 1881, when he sold it to Millin & Church
of Portland.
It is a three-story frame mill 36 x 42, and has two run of stone with a capacity of seventy barrels
of flour daily. The place has for some time been known as "Milton," but the O. R. & N. Co. have put in a
sidetrack here and have named the station "Longs." John has here 317 acres of land, a great deal of which is fine meadow and 130 acres of excellent grain land. On the farm are two residences, two orchards, barns and other improvements.
A view of the place, showing the mill, will be found on another page. John has a family of nine children, Sarah Catherine, John Henry, Hilah, Dora M., Luemma, Pauline, Willie, Finis, and Ledstone. James A., deceased, was the fourth child.
