Something about worn Snub Nose's, if only they could talk!
I'd love to be able to say that he was Huey's brother but I have found no connection yet. Certainly am still looking though.
What a sweet piece, Mike! That's the kind of gun that really speaks to me - one can only imagine what it would say about its past if it could.

In the 1920 census, MacFarland Long is a postal clerk, age 29, living in East Carroll Parish with his parents, Dr. William Long, 56, and his unnamed wife of the same age.
In the 1930 census, MacFarland Long is a Deputy Sheriff, 37 this time, living in East Carroll Parrish with a lodger named Walter E. Treffry.
Dr. Long was born in West Virginia, and his father was born in Maryland. I don't know how this squares with the family history of the better-known Longs.
I couldn't find Mac in the Social Security Death Index. Maybe he retired to another state.

Thanks David
I pulled the census data earlier today. Couldn't find any connection to the political family.
Mac Long was still living in 1977. He also was one of the first Board of Director members of the Louisiana Savings & Loan in 1933.

Well, Huey Long had a sister whose married name was Rose McConnell Long McFarland...later of Boulder CO...so I am willing to bet a fair chunk that yes, he did have relatively close ties to 'that' family.
Yep, found that during research too. But...still can't find a definitive connection. Sure am still looking though.
Huey and McFarland would have been the same age +/- a year or so.
