IL, Thursday, August 1, 1901: "Barry has lost one of its old settlers in the death of Dr. George H. Long, which occurred at his home last Monday. He was born in Baltimore, Md., on Dec. 21, 1830. He came to Pike county with his parents when only six months old and has resided here continuously every since. He graduated in a medical college in St. Louis in 1854 and practiced his profession in this city for ten years, three years of which time he was in partnership with Dr. Parker. His health failing, he gave up a lucrative business and opened a drug store in 1867. In 1894, he sold his business to D.K. Weiss. He was stricken with paralysis on April 29, 1896, and has been severely afflicted ever since. The funeral services will be held at the house tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, at 4 o'clock. The remains will be taken to Pittsfield for burial, and will be laid to rest on Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock." __ Barry Adage, Barry, Pike Co.
