was here so successful in a similar line of bust- ness that he resolved to embark his accumu- lated means in the wholesale dry-goods trade at Louisville. He came to the city in 1834, at- tracted by its high promise as a centre of trade for a wide region in Kentucky and Indiana. His acquaintance was already great among country merchants in both States ; and his house at once leaped into large and steadily increasing busi- ness. His sales in time extended far beyond those of almost any other establishment in the city, reaching Tennessee, Northern Alabama, and even Arkansas. In less than thirty years his energy, enterprise, and careful management had very largely increased his original invest- ment, and he was in possession of a handsome for- tune. The outbreak of the war of the Rebel- lion found many of his creditors, owing him considerable sums, inside the Confederate lines ; and he was not allowed by General Sherman, then in command here, to visit them for purpose of collection. With two of his best clerks, how- ever, he made his way through the lines, and reaped a remarkable success in the settlement of his claims by payment in sugar, cotton, or Con- federate money, all of which was then easily con- vertible into foreign exchange.
Mr. Trabue has sustained other important re- lations to the business of Louisville. For thirty- six years he has been president of the Franklin Insurance company, on Main street, near Fourth ; and still, notwithstanding somewhat advanced age, gives personal attention to the duties of the post. For a term about equally long he has been in the Directory of the Bank of Kentucky. Among other stations of trust and influence he has been a director of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, trustee of the Cave Hill cemetery, and a trustee of the University of Louisville. In the city government he was a member of the Board of Aldermen during the years 1859, 1860, and 1861, and President of the Board in 1859-60, and President of the Sinking Fund Commission for some years. In politics he followed the standard of Henry Clay until the Whig party ceased to exist. For nearly half a century he and Mrs. Trabue have been connected with the Christian church in this city, in which he has from time to time held official position. He has an open hand for every worthy object of benevo- lence, but is discriminating in his charities. He

has a shrewd perception of the worth of men; and has not often gone astray, for example, in the selection of aids in his business, with whom his relations have been singularly happy. His physical energy and capability of sustained exer- tion, to which much of his success is due, are still truly remarkable. He bids fair to round out his century, most of it filled with the most active employments.
During his residence in Glasgow, Mr. Trabue was married to Miss Eliza, daughter of Dr. John Stites, and stepdaughter of Colonel Clifton Rodes, of Barren county. She is still living, in a hale and happy old age. They have two sons, both residing in the city-Richard, also a man of unusual business ability, now carrying on the business handed over to him by his father; and William, who has displayed a versatile talent in both industrial and fine art, as machinist, musi- cian, painter, and sculptor. They had other sons and daughters, who have died. One of the daughters married W. H. Barksdale, of St. Louis. She left two sons, both now young men.
Henry Wolford, present city treasurer, was born in the city of Philadelphia on the 4th day of May, 18c6. His father and family arrived in Louis- ville December 24, 1818, where the remnant of the family still reside. Mr. Wolford served his time at the printing business, and was one of the original compositors on the Louisville Journal. He was elected measurer of wood, coal, and lime by the city council May 19, 1838, which he held for two years; and on January 11, 1841, was elected city clerk, which office he held until April 7, 1851, when he resigned on account of ill health. In view of his resignation, Mr. Cur- ran Pope, member of the council, offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the thanks of the city of Louisville are due, and they are hereby tendered to him for the ability and unim- peachable fidelity with which he has discharged the duties of his office during the long period of his connection with the city.
On May 12, 1851, Henry Dent, Esq., having been elected marshal of the Louisville chancery court, he appointed Mr. Wolford his deputy, which post he held for five years, when from ill health he resigned it. January 8, 1857, he was elected hy the mayor and council city treasurer to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of John W.
Craig, Esq., and on the 4th day of April, 1857, he was re-elected by the vote of the people, and has been re-elected every two years up to the present time.
CHARLES ROBERT LONG,
President of the Louisville Water Company, Is of Scotch-Irish and German descent, and was born in Shelby county, Kentucky, on the 7th of May, 1840, of well-to-do parents, William P. and Susan P. (Ellis) Long. Charles Ellis, his mater- nal grandfather, came from Culpeper county, Virginia, early in this century, to Shelby county, in this State. He was a soldier in Harrison's campaign against the Indians, which culminated in the battle of Tippecanoe, in which he partici- pated. His paternal grandfather, Isaac Long, immigrated from Pennsylvania in the last century, and settled in Fayette county, where William C. Long was born. The latter is still living and resides in Louisville with his son, the subject of this sketch. The mother died in August, 1859. Charles was raised as a farmer boy up to the age of eighteen years. He received an ordinary practical English education in Simpsonville, Kentucky, and New Albany, Indiana, where he attended the High School. He commenced business in that city in the capacity of a shipping clerk, at the age of twenty years. In 1861 he located in business in the city of Louisville, in partnership with his older brother, Isaac N. Long, under the firm name of Long & Brother, in the manufacture of chairs, which business they carried on until March, 1879, when the death of the latter dissolved the firm. After that event the Long & Brother Chair Company was organized with Charles R. Long as President, which position he still holds, and the business is continued. The reputation of the Long & Brother chairs is well and favorably known in nearly every State in the Union, as also the repu- tation of the company, which is noted for strict integrity and progressive business energy.
Mr. Long is an active member of the Method- ist Episcopal Church South, and zealous in his support of the interests of his church. He is at present one of the official board of the Broadway church of Louisville. He is also a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows orders, having passed all the chairs in Odd Fellowship. He

has been identified with many public-spirited enterprises of the city. Was elected to the City Council in 1866 and served continuously under successive elections to the close of 1876; during his ten years' service as a Councilman he was elected President of the Council for the year 1870, and re-elected for 1871, 1872, and 1873, serving in said capacity a longer period than was ever given to any other member before or since. In 1874 he was elected president of the Louis- ville Water Company, and has been re-elected annually ever since. His administration of the business affairs of said company has been marked with great success. The business of the company at greatly reduced rates, increased fifty per cent in revenue and nearly doubled the number of consumers since he assumed the duties of the office, while the capacity of the company's works has been greatly extended and judiciously en- larged, within the financial resources of the com- pany. His career in city legislation and as pres- ident of the Louisville Water Company has been distinguished by a fearless, upright, progressive, and positive course, contributing in a most sub- stantial manner to the growth and prosperity of the city of Louisville. In politics he is a liberal but emphatic Democrat, and has rendered his party most efficient service by his quick percep- tion and as a determined organizer, though never seeking or filling a political office. In business he has shown much inventive force, having de- veloped some great improvements in wood-work- ing machinery, and originated and perfected some practical and valuable devices in the con- struction of chairs; and in these directions has obtained a number of patents covering his inven- tions. He leads a life of unceasing energy and activity, illustrating the varied results a man of push and energy may accomplish.
Mr. Long was married May 9, 1861, to Miss Mary E., oldest daughter of Captain John R. Cannon, of New Albany, Indiana, who is still living. They have six children-Susan Amanda, Laura Elizabeth, Elvira, Charles Robert, Jr., John Ray Cannon, and Ida Naomi-all residing at home with their parents.
