Longshore, Miles, M. D., Russia, born in Depeyster, St. Lawrence county, N. Y.,
September 3, 1847. He is a son of David Longshore, a native of Canajoharie, 
Montgomery county, N. Y. His father was Solomon Longshore, who came from 
Germany and settled in Buckland county, Pa., and later in life moved to 
Canajoharie, Montgomery county, N. Y., where he lived and died. He was a 
blacksmith by trade. In 1823 he married Margaret House, a native of 
Canajoharie, N. Y. She was born June 6, 1804, and bore him seven sons and five 
daughters.   In later life Mr. Longshore became a farmer, and in 1837 he went 
to Depeyster, St. Lawrence county, N. Y., and settled on a farm, where he 
lived until 1864, when he went to Canton, of the same county, where he spent 
the remainder of his days.   He was a justice of the peace, and supervisor of 
the town.   He was a Free Mason and one of the oldest in St. Lawrence county.
He died June 25, 1886, and his wife February 22, 1892.   Dr. Longshore was 
reared on a farm, was educated in the common schools, and in Canton Academy, 
from which he graduated.   He afterwards spent one year in St. Lawrence 
University.   He studied medicine in the Albany Medical College, and 
afterwards in the Burlington University, from which he graduated in 1879.   
The same year he came to Cold Brook, where he has since been very successful 
in the practice of his profession.   June 24, 1879, he married Mary B. Lovell, 
a native of Canton, N. Y.   Her parents were Joseph and Samantha Lovell,
