Bio

He was a Christian (denomination) minister. He married Myra Panesa Reavis in 1841 in Cooper County, Missouri. Finding his burial location is problematic and uncertain until contributor Andrea reported his burial location in Crown Hill, Sedalia. His parents and other relatives are buried in the Houstonia cemetery a few miles southeast of Sweet Springs in Pettis County. Some family historians believed he was buried in Sweet Springs/Brownsville where he was church pastor. The Sedalia Weekly Bazoo March 21, 1893 says the following: "In Honor of Rev. George W. Longan "Some time in last month a lady in this city set on foot a movement to erect a monument in memory of Rev. George W. Longan, of the Christian Church, who died at Sweet Springs, December 29, 1891. He was one of the pioneer preachers of that denomination in this part of the country and and it hoped that the movement will be successful. "Judge J. N. Dalby was named as a fit person to receive subscriptions and to-day he received the first remittance." His wife died at home in Houstonia May 12, 1898, but her funeral services were held in Sedalia in the First Christian Church. In April 1861 Elder G. W. Longan initialized the founding congregational meeting of the Sedalia First Christian Church.
