Long, two of Alamance County's most loved citizens, on Tuesday of this week, celebrated their fiftieth or golden wedding anniversary at their home. Owing to the health of Col. Long, it was not possible to have a big celebrtion and they decided to have simply a dinner with their sons and daughters present. To this union were born seven children, five girls and two boys. These seven were present, as follows: Mr. S.E. Everett, Suffolk, Va.; Mrs. John C. Holladay, Suffolk, Va.; Mrs. Hersey Woodward, Suffolk, Va.; Mr. J. Elmer Long, Durham; Mrs. R.J. Mebane, Greensboro; Ralph Long, Winston-Salem, and Mrs. A.H. Graham, Hillsboro. Quite a number of telegrams and letters and messages came from friends all over this state and Virginia extending congratulations to this estimable couple on having passed through fifty years of married life and having reared a family that is so much credit to them and of so much honor and service to this state and the state of Virginia. The dinner table had a large cake in the center, with fifty little candles on it; and in the center of the cake was a small bride and groom. Around this cake were flowers that had been sent by friends, including four vases of flowers sent by the Junior Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, the Jacob A. Long Chapter, named in honor of Col. Long.
