William had very few advantages of schooling, and, when only twelve years old, was put to work in a sawmill, where he remained some four or five years. In the spring of 1864, when a young man of eighteen, he enlisted, on February 26, 1864, at Fremont, Ohio, in the 3rd O. V. C., under Col. Siddal, his captain being Paul Diel. The regiment was assigned to the army of the Cumberland, and during the remainder of the war Mr. Long participated in over fifty battles, some of the more prominent ones being those of Selma, Jonesboro, Lovejoy's Station, siege of Atlanta, Kenesaw Mountain, Decatur, Ala., and Rome, Ga. He was honorably discharged on August 4, 1865, at Edgefield, Tenn., and returned home. His health was so feeble, owing to jaundice contracted in the army, that for a year he was unable to engage in any business. At the end of that time, however, he became associated with one of his brothers and G. W. Smith, in a sawmill, which they carried on for seven years. In the fall of 1865 Mr. Long removed to Center township, Wood county, and purchased thirty acres of land, which he improved, and on which he lived until 1876, when he sold out and bought fifty-five acres on the middle branch of the Portage river, where he made his home for the following seven years. He then disposed of that property, and purchased the forty acres in Weston township, where he has since resided. William was married November 7, 1869, at New Rochester, to Naomi Decker, and eight children were born to them: Alwilda, who became the wife of J. F. Werner and then of William H. Walters; Clarence W. who married Miss Maud Gooch; Ernest E. who married Tressa Spackey ; Lula who married Edwin Corliss and Walter, who married Emma Pillusch; Viola, Mabel, and Mamie, all died when children. Mr. Long follows in the footsteps of his father in Church work, having been an elder in the Church of the Saints for the past seven years, and, whenever called upon to go out to preach, does so, his motto being, '' Bear the cross, and wear the crown. " He was a trustee of Grovehall Church, and its elder, and was superintendent of the Sunday-school. In politics he belonged to the Prohibition party, and carried out its principles in his daily life, never having used tobacco or intoxicating liquors. He was an honest, industrious man, and a most worthy citizen.
