Aunt Lil married Isaac LONG; they had two children, both of whom died young. She apparently always lied about her age. Her grandniece, Marguerite (HANIFAN) WILSON, who knew her, said that all the CAFFRAY women were notorious for lying about their age. The U.S. Census records show that when Clara E. Caffrey Long died 24 Jul 1949, she was about 97, not 85, years old.
