I researched and wrote a brief family history of the DeLong line for my mother. I included old photographs but didn't include this one until I spoke with Mom on the phone. Here is an 1890 or 1894 photograph of the reunited siblings. They had been orphaned in 1845 in Nauvoo when both parents died. They had been reunited earlier but this meeting was commemorated with a formal picture. They are in order from left to right: Mary Amanda DeLong McLaughlin (1835-1930), Edgar Pitt DeLong (1832-1907), Ralph DeLong (1841-1910) and Henry Peter DeLong (1834-1927). Ralph is my maternal grandfather's maternal grandfather. He was born in western Pennsylvania. He moved with his parents to Nauvoo, Illinois in 1843. In 1848 he immigrated to Utah. He died in Panguitch, Utah.

Thank you, Jim!
