Aged 1YR 10MO 12DA
Dau. of L.N. & E.
"L.N. and E. Long" are Lester N. and Elizabeth Beidler Long.

My thanks to Alison Bigbee, for the following information:

   Lester N. Long (b. November 1825 in Fayette county, PA, d. 1904 in the Illinois Soldiers and Sailors Home in Quincy.)  Lester is buried in Sunset Cemetery associated with the Illinois Soldiers and Sailors home…. he served in Co. A, 129th Illinois Infantry in the Civil War.  Lester married 
Elizabeth Beidler in 1850 in Fayette County and they moved to Livingston County, IL between 1858-1860….the family is found in 1860 Reading, Reading Township, Livingston County, IL. 
   I believe that Lester and Elizabeth Long moved with Lester’s sister, Eliza McFadden (b. 1809, d. 1895, buried Riverside Cemetery, Streator, Illinois) and her children, including John and George McFadden.  George McFadden was a lifelong resident of Livingston County… I believe he died between 1910-1920 in Reading Township… I don’t know where he is buried.
   Belle’s mother, Elizabeth, died in September 1867 and Belle’s brother, David Long, died in 1868 at age 1 year…. they also should be buried in Moon Point cemetery (they are listed in the records) but I don’t know if any tombstones still exist for them.
   Lester N. Long had a son, Albert J. Long (b. 1855 in Pennsylvania), that was a lifetime resident of Livingston County, IL… I believe he died in Amity Township in 1931. 
Albert (age 74) and wife Eliza (Patterson) were last living in 1930 Amity Twp, Livingston County, IL.  I don’t know where Albert is buried.
