General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Long


He began the manufacture of threshing machines in 1858 with Charles Burnham, and continued for five years. Until 1873, he conducted the business. At this time H. C. Sickenberger became the junior member of the firm, and the making of fanning mills was added. The "Keystone fanning mill," was invented and manufactured by them. In 1876 they manufactured 140 fanning mills, and in 1878, they made eight single and double strap threshing machines.
