Notes

Note N1415

"It was in 1844 that Levi Long brought his family to Illinois, settling on a tract of land of eighty acres that is now the home of his son Jonathan. All was timber, and in the midst of the forest they built a little log cabin, in which they lived for several years, when a more modern and commodious house was erected. The land was purchased from the government, and, in consequence, was in a raw condition, not a furrow having been turned nor an improvement been made. Mr. Long continued to reside with his parents until they passed away, after which he carried on the home farm on his own account and has since resided here. He was early trained to the arduous work of developing a new farm at a time when much of the labor was done by hand. The scythe and sickle figured as important farm implements, and all of the corn husking now done bv machinery was done by hand."
