Rev. Dr. Jacob Ide of Medway preached Rev. Mr. Long's funeral sermon. I find the following extracts from that sermon in Rev. Mortimer Blake's "Cen- turial History of the Mendon Association :" -
" Mr. Long was a firm believer in the distinguishing doctrines of the gos- pel, as they were taught and believed by our Pilgrim Fathers. (He was an in- telligent Hopkinsian.) His sermons were able, well-studied, and correctly written, not so remarkable for their brilliancy as for their depth of thought and weight of matter. In his delivery there was more of that distinctness, modera- tion, and solemnity which the philosophic and patient thinker prizes, than that rapidity of utterance, animation of feeling, and energy of manner which are pleasing to all, and deemed indispensable by some with whom the chief object of preaching is animal excitement.
" There was a beautiful correspondence between the truths which he taught and the principles by which his own conduct was governed. Integrity and up- rightness were leading features in his character. When he once made a prom- ise, everybody expected he would fulfil it. He would do right at all events.
"There were repeated revivals among his people during his ministry. But he gathered men by individuals rather than by multitudes into the church; and his success lay rather in establishing Christians in the faith once delivered to the saints, in inculcating the duties which devolved upon them as the professed disciples of Christ, and in disciplining their minds for their holy warfare, than in rapidly increasing their number. There are comparatively few men that have done more for the kingdom of Christ, in similar circumstances."
I have not found facilities for ascertaining the number of Mr. Long's bap- tisms, marriages, funerals, etc. His published productions are few. I have seen but two of his sermons in print, - one delivered on the return of the Mil- ford Artillery Co. from their camp near Boston, Oct. 30, 1814; the other, a discourse delivered Dec. 24, 1815, "occasioned by the death of Miss Betsey Tidd," who d. the twenty-first of that month. I suspect there may be others, but they have not come to my knowledge. He was the principal penman of several school-committee reports, and probably of divers minor documents which never fell under my eye. On the whole, he certainly deserved, from his own religious associates and the inhabitants of Milford generally, a most respectful remembrance.
I recollect no other families or persons bearing the name Long that have dwelt more than transiently in town.

They have 1 son, Charles Wilber, b. Hop., April 22, 1860. The family res. in Hop. 7 yrs., and. since in Mil. 18 yrs. He is an industrious boot-bottomer on West St., near Marvel.
Several others of this name appear to have res. in town at various periods, and there are a few scattering credits of chn. b. to them. But having received no assistance in working out their genealogy, I must be excused for omitting further specification.
LOVETT. The Lovetts were of ancient and respectable lineage. DANIEL, from Braintree, was one of the original Mendon proprietors. His son James was

a wealthy and influential landholder there, and took up large tracts of common land here. He was the fr. of John, Mary, Martha, Johanna, Sarah, Abigail and Daniel. Mary was the wf. of our Nathaniel Morse, Sarah was the wf. of our first Joseph Sumner, and Abigail the wf. of our first Ebenezer Suinner. DANIEL was of our Easterly Precinct at its incorporation, though dwelling in what was called "the standing part" of Mendon. I think it prob. he lived and d. on what is known as "the Lovett place" in the Davenport neighborhood. He m. Abigail Thompson of Braintree; cer. in Boston, Sept. 11, 1721, by Samuel Sewall, Esq.

Daniel, the hus. and fr., was known in mature life as Major Daniel Lovett. I conjecture that Mrs. Abigail d. first. He d. in 1748, and his son Phinehas was made his executor.

The hus. and fr. bore the title "capt." Mrs. Beulah was recd. into Rev. Mr. Frost's ch. Feb. 12, 1743-4; and most, if not all, of her chn. were duly bap. She d. June 28, 1766. Capt. Phinehas had a considerable homestead on the east side of now Main St., and his domicile stood nearly where Milford National Bank building now does. There he was a licensed retailer of spirituous liquors for some 14 yrs., from 1753 onward. He sold his real est., 86 acs. in all, to Jona. Jones in 1767. And thenceforth I lose track of him. The Lovetts seem to have become extinct in Mil. and Mendon. One family more only to mention. LOVETT, OTIS C., pedigree untraced, came from Cumberland, R.I .; was a
blacksmith, and res. here for a brief period. He and wf., Nancy (Bolcom) Lovett, stand credited on our records with 1 birth; viz., - SAMUEL DANIELS, b. Sept. 23, 1833.
LUTHER, JAMES, son, as I suppose, of Abijah and Prudence (Peck) Luther, was m. to Mary Parkhurst ; pedigree not found; cer. March 16, 1783, by Edward Rawson, Esq. I conjecture that this James Luther must have been
: an heir to some of John Peck's lands. See name Peck. But I am some- what mystified as to who he was, who his wf. was, or what became of them.

Mr. Lynch has res. in town since Jan., 1859. He is an enterprising, thriving grocer. I am not certain I have entered his family record correctly, being much perplexed by certain interlineations and obscurities of his return, but have done my best.
McDEVITT, DOMINIC, job contractor, farmer, etc., b. in Glenties, Donegal Co., Ireland. He came to St. John, N.B., 1822, thence to Hop. in 1832, and thence, soon after, to Mil., with his wf. His first business here was the building of the then (now West St.) newly-laid road to Up., he having taken the contract off the hands of Mr. Walker, the original undertaker. Since then, with the exception of brief residences down East and in the West, he has dwelt in this town on various estates. He said in 1877 he was in his 76th yr., much worn with hard toil, and afflicted with rheumatism, but seemed mentally vigorous. He and his wf. are devout Catholics, and may be reckoned among the ancients of their ch. in Mil. They told me that they united in the first Cath. service ever held here by a priest, which took place in the dwelling-house of Mr. Edward McGovern, since deceased; and that divine service was solemnized many times in their own house before their first ch. edifice was built. He recollected not more than one or two Irishmen within our limits at his entrance among us. His wf., Mary (Moore), was b. in Clonis, Monaghan Co., Ireland, 1812. They were m. in St. John, N.B., April 18, 1832, and have had 9 chn. Four of these now survive; viz., -

AMASA, b. Tuesday, July 15, 1783, about 9 o'clock in the morning. He m. the wid. Rebecca Foster Kenney of Athol, Feb. 15, 1816. They had 6 chn., 4 of whom now survive.

This hus. and wf. were rather remarkable people in their day and vicinage. They were old fashioned, plain, homespun folks, but of noble moral character, large hearts, and liberal minds. Their homestead was in Mil., close to Hop. line, until that line was straightened. We find Mr. McF.'s name among those of our moderators and assessors. He was an early Methodist when the first preachers of that denomination planted societies in the No. Purchase and Hayden Row, and in 1801 was a joint class-leader with Edmund Bowker under Rev. Joseph Snelling. After I came into town in 1824, I formed a friendly and pleasant acquaintance with these aged Christian pilgrims. By that time their progressive souls had transcended all narrow views of the divine perfections and purposes, and rejoiced in hope of the final triumph of good over all evil, yet had lost none of their personal devotion to true righteousness. I believe they went to a home of shining immortality. I ministered at both their funerals.
