Description	:	As written by Addie Shaw, Jefferson Long's daughter: My father, Jefferson Long, came to Kiowa, Kansas in 1886. He managed the Cockins-Long partnership in a cattle adventure, headquarters near Aetna. On arriving he was classed as a "tender-foot cowboy" and learned the ways of the West the hard way.

He managed the Cockins-Long partnership in a cattle adventure, headquarters near Aetna. On arriving he was classed as a "tender-foot cowboy" and learned the ways of the West the hard way. Of the Comanche Cattle Pool he said, "I knew some of the Pool riders. I never worked for them but I was on the outfits general roundup. Cowboys came from as far as the Colorado line. It looked like an army camped on the prairie." [1] My mother, Addie Collins, came from Missouri with her mother and stepfather, Jane and James White. They settled near Sharon in 1880. At age seventeen she became a Barber County teacher. Often she was younger than her pupils. Pay was $35.00 a month. Addie Collins and Jefferson Long were married in 1889. For a time they lived at Aetna. The Cockins-Long partnership disolved. In 1902 the Longs bought a ranch north of Liberal, Kansas. They returned to Barber County in 1910 when they purchased the C.B. Currie farm. A large part of this land is now Regnier Addition to the City of Medicine Lodge. This land was sold. They bought a home in Medicine Lodge and a farm near Gerlane. My mother passed away in 1916. The Longs had five children - Cockins, Wes, Ruth, Jeff Jr. and Addie. Wes and Ruth spent the rest of their lives in or near Medicine Lodge. Wes bought his father's farm near Gerlane, added to his holdings and was a successful farmer and cattleman. In later years he was a cattle commissioner. Ruth married H.E. Nixon. She owned and managed the Nixon Dress Shop for many years. They had two children - Jane and Harrison. In 1922 my father formed a partnership with R.A. Bauman in the Long- Bauman Produce Company in Medicine Lodge. He retired in 1944 but was active in his various farm interests until his death at age 98. In 1930, Jeff Long married Anna Dye, a long time resident of Medicine Lodge. Source:Chosen Land - Barber County, Kansas, pg. 280.
