Civil War connection for the pastor who married our ancestors Finifrock & Wolf.

it seems as though Elder David Long, who was the pastor who married Elias Finifrock (whose obituary I posted today) and Sarah Wolf, was the presiding pastor who delivered the sermon at the Mumma / Dunker church on Sunday, September 14, 1862. The Battle of Antietam, the Civil War battle which was the first major battle of the Civil War to take place on Northern soil, and the bloodiest single-day battle in American history (about 23,000 casualties), would occur at that exact spot just a few days later.

Here's an interesting article about Elder David Long and a little history on what happened that day:
