Vernon Courier, June 15, 1888 – pg 4

Died: ON the 12th at her sisters, one mile west of town, Miss DORA YOUNG, in 
her eighteenth year.  Miss DORA was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. SAMUEL 
G. YOUNG, both of whom only a short time since have died with the same terrible 
disease, consumption. While DORA’S friends knew that the end was near, yet the 
summons came sooner than was expected
	With a consciousness that she was gradually passing away still she 
waited for the messenger, which has to the world been called the “king of 
terrors’ as it was only a common place invitation in life.  Her fortitude and 
patience under so great suffering is rarely, if ever equaled.  Perhaps, to 
yield up life just on the entering and realizing of the hopes of womanhood may 
be no greater cross than at any other time in line; and requires a kind of 
heroism not general among mankind.  Miss DORA was taken on Wednesday to the old 
burying ground of her family, at New Hope Church, and  there laid to rest.  Her 
life has been spent in the church, and by an abiding faith in her Savior she 
was comforted in the “living hour.”
