With a heart full of sorrow the Brigader General commanding Second Brigade, Virginia Division U.C.V. announces the death of Maj. Seldon Longley, Judge Advocate General on the staff of the Brigade.
Maj. Longley died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.A. Baird, in Radford Va., surrounded by his family and friends, at the age of sixty eight years.
