Notes for HENRY LONG: "Henry and Sarah were both from Pennsylvania. After marrying in 1854 they farmed with their eleven children in central Pennsylvania.They moved several times within Centre County the first several years of their married life. " "In 1881 Henry and Sarah decided to take their children and move West. Henry was fifty-six and Sarah was forty-eight. John did not move with his family as he was already married and his wife was expecting a child and didn't want to trave. We don't know for sure where they went that first year. We think they went to Ohio, as George did not move on with the rest of the family, but stayed on in Navarre, Ohio." "They then came to Illinois in 1883 and settled south of Cortland, ust south of where the tooway is now. There were no fences when they came and the boys had to take turns staying up through the night so the animals didn't wander. Next they moved to a farm north of Maple Park on Pleasant Street Road. Henry prospered very quickly in Maple Park and was able to buy a 320 acre farm, sight unseen, in Creighton, Nebraska. Henry then sent his oldest son, James, ahead to Creighton to settle the farm. When the family arrived in Creighton they had been tricked and there was no farm. They then settled west of Creighton and homesteaded land there." "When Henry and Sarah first moved to Creighton they had trouble with the Indians. One day when Henry was not at home, Indians came to Sarah's door and forced their way in. They took her by the ear and led her to the pantry and pointed to the coffee. She gave them some and they left her unharmed. She always said she was so glad Henry wasn't at home, because he hated the Indians so and would surely have been killed. Henry's Uncle was scalped by the Indians in Pennsylvania when Henry was a small boy and he never forgot or forgave the Indians. His Uncle lived through it and was quite disfigured. He had to wear a tin helmet the rest of his life to protect his head. That helmet is still in the family today." "The family was very happy in Creighton. In 1904 Henry and Sarah celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. All of their eleven children and sixteen grandchildren were present. It was a very happy occasion for all. It lasted five days and there was much music, laughter, and good times. This was the first time in twenty-three years that the whole family was together at the same time. They were a very musical family, all played at least one instrument and most played several. A family picture was taken that day of the entire family and one grandson Boyd. Henry and Sarah raised Boyd, who was Andrew's son. On the back of the picture Sarah recorded the names, weight, height and age in month and year." "Sarah Long was an ideal wife and Mother, her soul being in the comfort and happiness of all around her. Her life was full of good words and works. Henry farmed until they couldn't any longer and then Daniel and Susan moved in and took care of the farm. George and Katie were still living there at that time too." "Both Henry and Sarah were honest, reliable and hard working people. They had little money, but were very happy. Sarah died in 1907 at the age of seventy-four. It is said that Henry was so grieved that he died a year later of a broken heart at the age of eighty-two. Both are buried in Creighton, Nebraska."
