That's a pretty good indicator! Harveyville KS is about 25 miles from where I am
right now in Topeka Kansas.
Oh and the Abe Long....that's more than likely my great great grandfather Abram Lewis
Long who also died in 1936. He is Strawder's first born, in 1840 in Ripley Co Indiana.
Abe is a Civil War Vet fighting in the 39th Iowa Infantry and was a POW for almost a year
and managed to survive! just fyi
It's gotta be them, Abe lived in Dover Kansas which is a stones throw from
Harveyville. I guess you are a distant cousin. It's funny how many of those you can
run into if you perform large quantities of genealogical research.
If you ever find out about some old family letters or a family bible of the Long's or
anything from your great great grandmother Mary E. Long, that might help track down
Strawder Long's (her dads) parents I would be very happy.
Have Fun
