F. Long died at his home in San Francisco Saturday from a paralytic stroke and the remains were cremated Sunday afternoon. Up to about eight years ago he was a resident of this county and owned a large ranch at Largo, which place was named after him, largo being the Spanish word meaning long. The deceased was an upright and honorable man and was possessed of great energy. He was very popular in this county and had served the county in the capacity of supervisor two terms and was a member of the legislature in 1878. He was the pioneer hop grower of this county and built the second hop-kiln also having the largest acreage of hops of any one man while in the business. Even at his advanced age he was again figuring on entering the hop business on a large scale and was negotiating for the lease of extensive hop lands in Round valley. The following sketch of his life is taken from the history of Mendocino county: L. F. Long was born in New Hampshire, June 2, 1831, where he resided on a farm and taught school until 1853 when he came to California via Cape Horn and arrived in San Francisco, June 25. He proceeded to Eldorado county where he followed mining for about three months, and then returned to San Francisco and engaged as clerk in a commission house. One year later he was again mining in Tuolumne county. From there he moved to Cloverdale and took up ranching, coming in August, 1858, to this county. In 1866 he bought the ranch at Largo consisting of about 300 acres and engaged in sheep raising. Having spent a year in Sacramento valley growing hops, he disposed of his sheep and in 1868 commenced devoting his attention exclusively to hop raising. On January 17, 1868, he married Miss Sarah McNab. The widow and eight children survive him.

Davis of Thorn, at Needle Rock. Carlier and son Richard, 11, Sam Maynor and son Sam, 12, and Douglas Ehert, all of Laytonville were fishing off the rocks when tragedy struck. An oversized wave swept the Carliers, father and son off the rocks into about 12 feet of water. The boy managed to climb out, but his father was carried out 30 or 40 feet from shore. Attempting rescue, Sam Maynor, Sr., cast his fishline to Carlier, who caught the line. The drowning man pulled too hard on the line, which broke, leaving the tip weight in his hand. Maynor cast again, but the now unweighted line failed to reach Carlier. He told the drowning man to tread water. Another adult member of the party, Douglas Ebert ran to Westport for a rope. Fred Haas and several other Westport residents heard the shouting and rushed to the scene. Haas lowered his boat by windlass from the top of a nearby rock. As the boat hit the water, Carlier suddenly sank from sight, leaving his hat floating on the ocean surface. He had been treading water about 10 minutes. A group searched the area but found no trace of him. Mendocino County Deputy Coroner Ward Reis, who was called to the drowning, said there was little hope that the body would be found. Westport has no beach and the shoreline is rugged and rocky. Carlier's widow has been notified. The family lived on the Maynor ranch at Laytonville. Sam Maynor was hospitalized for shock following the drowning. The Carlier party arrived at the coast Friday and camped at Juan Creek. Early yesterday they went abalone and line fishing from the rocks, shortly before the accident. Second Drowning A second drowning occurred when James L. Davis, Bradford Radcliff and Christine Harper were returning from surf fishing at Needle Rock vicinity and a wave washed Davis to his death. Attempting to rescue him, Christine Harper caught her foot in a crevice and Radcliff injured his leg. They both saw Davis go down for the last time. His body, which was washed ashore by a later wave and recovered, is in L. P. Ankers Mortuary, Willits. Davis, a veteran, was the son of J. S. Davis of San Pablo.
