Julius T. Long, 86, the oldest and last surviving brother of Governors Huey
Long and Earl K. Long of Louisiana and former Eighth District Louisiana
Congressman Dr. George S. Long, died early Wednesday morning in a Shreveport
hospital.  He is an uncle of U. S. Senator Russell B. Long and John Hunt,
chairman of the Louisiana Public Service Commission, and a fourth cousin of
present Eighth District Congressman Speedy O. Long.

Julius T. Long was born in the Tunica Community (now called Corinth) in 1879. 
His parents were Huey P. Long, Sr., and Caledonia Tison Long.  In 1886, his
father bought the Col. David Pipes home and 340 acres of farm land here and
moved his family to Winnfield.  Here on what is now Maple Street, Julius T.
Long and all his brothers and sisters grew to manhood and womanhood in the old
Long home where the Gov. Earl K. Long Memorial Park is now.

After graduating from Tulane Law School in 1906, Julius T. Long began the
practice of law here with the late Earl E. Kidd.  Later he was a law partner
with Judge Wiley E. Jones.  In 1912 he was elected district attorney for the
Fifth Judicial District, Winn and Jackson Parishes,  and served for eight
years.  In 1921, Julius T. Long moved to Shreveport and began the practice of
law there, largely confining his practice to Civil Law cases.  In the
particular field in which he specialized, he was generally recognized as being
one of the best legal authorities in Louisiana, and his practice was
statewide.

He is survived by his widow; a son, James H. Long; a daughter, Mrs. Carson
Reed, Jr.; three grandchildren; and three sisters, Mrs. Clara L. Knott of
Many, Mrs. Olive L. Cooper of Natchitoches, and Mrs. Stewart Hunt of Ruston.

Among his first cousins residing in Winnfield are Mrs. Zelma Frazer, G. P.
Long, Mrs. Net Grigsby, Mrs. Nancy Morrison, and Miss Edith Ann Long.
