From the 30 December 1920 THE GREENFIELD INDEPENDENT, Volume 1, Number 16, of Greenfield, Ohio.
              
                           JAS. JOSEPH LONG PASSES AWAY.
     Jas. J. Long, one of the oldest residents of this community and 
familiarly known among his friends as Jimmie Joe, passed away at his home in 
Thrifton at a late hour on Monday.  The deceased belonged to a family 
connection that has been identified with the history of Buckskin township 
since its earliest settlement.  He was the son of Wm. Long and Jane Blaine 
Long and was born July 19, 1837, on the farm directly across the creek from 
Carter and Cameron’s mill.
     Mr. Long was of a retiring, kindly and complacent nature, faithful to his 
duties and honest in all his dealings.  He was never married and has made his 
home for some years with the family of his brother, Mr. George A. Long.  He 
leaves also one sister, Mrs. M. L. Matthews.  One brother, Alex Long, lost his 
life in the Civil War.  The hour for the funeral is set for Wednesday 
afternoon, December 29, at the residence of his nephew, O.F. Long.



Additional Comments:
What is left of Thrifton is now located at the junction of Thrifton Road and 
Rapid Forge Road in southwestern Buckskin Township of Ross County, Ohio, just 
east of Greenfield, Ohio, on the banks of Paint Creek.
