FUNDING: A donation of $10,000 was made by David E. Long of Keyser, WV, and his family in
memory of James E. and Harriet Parsons Long, his great-grandparents.

BACKGROUND: This fund was established to provide perpetual funding for the maintenance and
beautification of the Long Family Cemetery which is located in “the” Holly Meadows north of Parsons
via State Route 72 and 0.4 miles south-east of the Moss Lane (Leadmine Road). The cemetery is the final
resting place for 45 or more members of the Long family and their relatives whose presence in the Holly
Meadows dates to the early1800s. Among those interred are James E. and Harriet Parsons Long, direct
descendants of some of the earliest settlers of that community. The land upon which the cemetery is
located remained continuously in the Long Family farm from 1816 until 2006.
