YOUNG departed this life at 7 o’clock on the morning of the 24th, and the day following all that was mortal of him was carefully laid to rest by loving hands. The funeral was conducted by Rev. G. L. HEWITT, and a large number of friends gathered to pay their last sad tribute to his body. The deceased was in his 28th year, when the summons came. He was stricken down in the vigor of his manhood and lingered but a short time on the threshold. During the past winter he started to Florida hoping that the change would prolong his life, but when about half way he became convinced that the end was near and returned to his home. He died full in the faith of a Christian, and it may be truly said that his life had a glorious ending. Friend ALSO – SAME ISSUE Mr. FRANK YOUNG died at his home eight miles west of town on the morning of the 24th, of that dread disease, consumption. He was a noble and true young man.
