James Long

He is now gone to be with his beloved wife Earlene Hayden Long in heaven. He has missed her for the last 20 years.

For many years he raised cattle. He finally stopped at the age of 82. But he still loved to go to the cattle sales as long as his health let him.

He was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Willie (Rudd) Long, his beloved wife Earlene (Hayden) Long, two brothers; Asa Long and Morris Long, one sister; Mary Geneva Gough, and two nephews; Charles Gough and Randy Long.
