Jmaes Long was born in an old log house that stood on the farm in Pine Creek township.  Mr. Long says of his birth-place : "It was allin one, and had a big chimney of stone and mud,  with a large fireplace,  opening at one side,  into which could be put huge logs that made a roaring fire which kept the whole house warm.  Though only three years old, I remember thes house well.  We then moved up on to the hill into a larger house,  with a brick chimney and fireplace that I always enjoyed.  Many a night when a boy I lay on the hearth listening to the hum of my mother's old spinning -wheel,  for in those days she spun the wool and wove the cloth that clothed th whole family.  I recollect how proud I was when I got my first blouse tied at the corners in front."
