THE CASEY COUNTY NEWS,1944
Mrs. Rose Raley, Lockland, Ohio advises that she has recieved word from the War Department stating that her brother, Technician 5th Grade Noah E. Long, was killed in Italy, February 5th.  He was a member of the Army Air Corps Engineers.  He was the son of the late Charlie and Perlina Long and was born and reared in the Caney Fork section.  He entered the service about three years ago.  He had been overseas for almost two years.  After spending some time in England, he participated in the initial invasion of Africa, the Battle of Tunisia, also the invasion of Sicily and then on into Italy.  He was about
24 years of age and the youngest of the three Long boys in the service.  The other two Long boys in the service are Charles who is in Italy, and believed to be only about 30 miles from where his brother was killed, and Cecil, who is stationed somewhere in England.  The many Casey County friends and relatives of the young man will deeply regret to learn of his having paid the supreme sacrifice.  The surviving brothers and sisters and other relatives have the unabounded sympathy of everyone in this dark hour of sorrow.
