Algie L Long

Algie L. Long served his community with quiet dedication. A United States Army veteran, he went on to join the Hurtsboro Police Department where he served as a patrolman for several years. In Hurtsboro he was known as a working member of the town’s everyday life — a public servant who took seriously the obligations of duty and of providing for his family.

Long was a husband and father. Contemporary records note he left behind a wife and son, and his service as both a veteran and a local officer remained part of how his community and fellow officers remembered him. His sacrifice was acknowledged beyond Hurtsboro: memorial records and congressional remarks from 1973 list his name among those law-enforcement officers honored that year, and he is recorded as being laid to rest at Fort Mitchell National Cemetery in Russell County, Alabama.

Public records about Mr. Long’s life beyond his roles in the military and in local law enforcement are limited in available online sources. Even so, the verified facts point to a life of service — to his country, to his town, and to his family. For those who knew him and for the community he served, Algie L. Long’s memory endures as that of a dedicated public servant and a loved family member whose life mattered beyond the circumstances of his death.
