- HISTORY OF CINCINNATI AND HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO (189
Rev. Langdon was twice married. His first wife was Nancy Brown,
daughter of William Brown, of Stamford, Conn., and six children were born to
this union; Nancy B.; Solomon, who was a well and favorably known business man
of Cincinnati, and the founder of the Langdon Bakery, now known as the Langdon
Branch of the U.S. Baking Company, which is now in charge of his only son,
Perin Langdon; Mary B.; Dr. Oliver M., a well-known physician, who was the
first superintendant of Longview Asylum, occupying that position for ten
years (he served in the Mexican war under Col. Brough in the First Ohio
Regiment, doing duty as a surgeon); Caroline, and Ruth L., of whom the last
named, Mrs. Punshon, is the only survivor. Mr. Landgon's second wife was
Catherine West Bassett, daughter of Elisha Bassett, of Martha's Vineyar
Mass.; three children were the result of this marriage; Eunice M.; Col. E.
Bassett, and Catherine E. The daughters reside on the old homestead, which is
still in possession of the Langdon family. Col. E. Bassett received a wound
while in the service of his country from which he finally died. Mention of him
is given in the following sketch from the pen of Whitelaw Reid, editor of the
New York Tribune, and a portrait is also inserted through the generosity of
his beloved sisters, as a token of respect for their brave brother and
soldier.
