Can anyone tell me if they can find an obit for Luther B. Long around early 1949? He was killed and buried in Italy Dec. 1943, then moved to Mitchell Cemetery in Lauderdale County, Alabama in early part of 1949. I've been told he had a military funeral but I can't locate an obit on him. Please help if you can.
Father is Dimps Long
Mother is Belle Long
