  DICKSON S. LONG, of Worthington township, owns and farms the southwest quarter

of section 28, which has been his home for the last sixteen years. Mr. Long was

born in Greenville, Pa., Oct. 12, 1849, the son of Samuel and Nancy (Christy)

Long. Both parents were natives of Pennsylvania and both died in Iowa, the

former at the age of 73 years, the latter aged 79. Our subject is of English and

Scotch descent.



  Mr. Long was educated in the public schools of Greenville, Pa., and was in the

hardware business there five years. He left home in 1869 and spent two years

farming in Fulton county, Ill. He went to Girard, Kansas, in 1871, but remained

there only six months. He then located at Morningsun, Iowa, where he engaged in

farming and stockraising until 1892. That year he came to Nobles county and

bought his present farm, where he has since resided.



  Mr. Long was married at Morningsun, Iowa, on March 5, 1874, to Marnitta
