(b. 1848) ------------------------------------------------------------------- The History of Upshur County West Virginia From its Earliest Exploration and Settlement to the Present Time by W. B. Cutright Buckhannon, W. Va., July 1, 1907 Pages 500-501 GEORGE A. LONG, born November 28, 1848. Married Sarah Paugh, December 26, 1872. His wife was born September 12, 1847, and their children are: Hulda A., born July 9, 1875; Harvey H., married Samantha Hyre; Celia M., single; Rosetta F., wife of T. H. Eckard and Ida R., who died November 22, 1891, at the age of eight years. The subject of this sketch is a son of James Long and Mrs. Long is the daughter of Levi and Phebe (Miller) Paugh and the granddaughter of William Paugh, who came here from Maryland. Mr. Long owns a farm of 125 acres, most of which he cleared and has in good grass. On this farm is a rock cave, which was used for many years by Mr. Long as a stable for his horses. The cave not being of sufficient height for Mr. Long he dug it deeper and this digging unearthed two skeletons and some crockery supposed to be that of the Indians. This cave stable was abandoned by Mr. Long because halters would not stay on his horses. He says that every morning he found his halters off the horses and hanging on the rude walls of the stable. Mr. Long is a member of the Bethlehem M. E. Church. ------------------------------------------------------------------- (wife of George A.
