Brownsville, Pennsylvania help needed

Found some articles about a bridge collapse in Brownsville in 1924 that mention the death of a Milo Long.  For example - http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glenntunneycolumn/capsule288.htm  Not sure if it's your Milo, but thought it was a possibility.

The date seems to fit - the last born daughter listed on the 1930 Census was 1924.

I found an article in the Weekly Courier of Connellsville, Penn. from 4 Apr. 1918 that says, "Mrs. Frank Long, 61 years old, a well known resident of Brownsville, died Wednesday morning following an attack of heart failure."  That age seems to fit with Mary Long.  Frank Long appears to be a widower in the 1920 & 1930 Census. 

[*Sandra*]

1930 Census also shows a brother John Long born 1877.

IF this is John W Long born August 1877 Brownsville borough, Fayette, Pennsylvania  - 1900  gives his Mother as Mary born  1829 (also mother of Frank)
