More on the DeLong Family

The above picture is of Suzannah Powell DeLong, mother of my ggrandmother, Catherine Elizabeth DeLong Daugherty.

This is a continuation of a typed document that I found in my files. It was written by a niece or nephew of Andrew Jackson DeLong, brother of great grandmother Catherine Elizabeth (Libby) DeLong Daugherty.

Another of Libby's siblings was Matilda. Matilda married Edwin Lynn in 1883. Matilda was known as "Aunt Till". She was born in 1858 and was buried in Portland, Oregon, SE 82nd Cemetery. Their children included Walter Roy Lynn, b. 1888 and died in 1939. He was buried in the above cemetery. Walter married Jessie Eddleton. Matilda & Edwin's daughter was Lucy Mabel, born 1895. She is buried at Newport, Oregon.

For the second generation the writer has Maxine Lynn Halverson. No other information is given. The 3rd Generation just says two boys.

Catherine Elizabeth's sister, Susan, married Alonzo (Lonie) Gates. They are buried in a Special Gates lot in 8nd Ave.Cemetery, Portland, Ore. It was mentioned they had a son who died young. Randy McGirr says that they adopted a girl named Sylvia. The family doesn't know her history.

The last sibling Eva, was born in 1865, in Canada. She died in 1917 and buried in the above cemetery. She never married.

Catherine Elizabeth isn't mentioned at all in the document. Perhaps it was prepared for her family, thus her information wasn't included. Or, she was the only sibling left in SD, perhaps dead by then, and the rest of the family no longer had any contact.
