MR. ELMO LONG April 26, 1922 April 3, 2007 Goldsboro, North Carolina 
Elmo Long, formerly of Fresno, was born on April 26, 1922, in 
Heavener, Oklahoma to the late Elmer E. Long and Beulah Terry Long 
Semore. He died peacefully with his family present on Tuesday, April 
3, 2007. Elmo was a very active member of St. Mary's Catholic Church 
in Goldsboro. He was past president of the National Turkey Federation 
and the Fresno County 4-H Club Leader's Council. As his career took 
him to Iowa, then North Carolina, he remained active in both these 
organizations as well as the Knights of Columbus where he served as 
Grand Knight of his Parish Council. His passions were his family, 
fishing and grilling turkey tenderloins. His awesome smile and 
sweetness will be missed by all who knew him. In addition to his 
parents, he was preceded in death by granddaughter, Linda Hays of 
Fresno; and his brother, John B. Long of Heavener, Oklahoma. Mr. Long 
is survived by his wife Frances; his children, Judy Hurst and her
