I too have a catherine long and wondered if we might have the same person.
My records are a bit sketchy I only saved one page it is a County state of
oregon  but not quiet sure when and I for some reason have it filed with
Mary Leabo.  Might be a list of children in death records? Will sent a copy
see attached Interesting found with Snoodgrasses all from Mo.
It states Mary Ann Long Elgin , Oregon widow
             Charloette Irene Long  Elgin Oregon Daughter
              Allan Lon  Elgin Oregon Son
               Jane Hallgarth Elgarth Elgin Oegon Daughter
               Mary Lebo  Shedds, Oregon daughter
               Juliett Tenbroke Haines Ore
               John Long,  Colfax  Was son
