Mr. Young had been in declining health for seven or eight years. He had gone to the Harvin Hospital at Rome, Georgia for an operation which was performed on March 16th. On March 17th, double pneumonia developed. Mr. Young bore his afflictions very patiently, often saying that he could bear it as long as the Lord put it on him. While he was in the hospital he seemed to be more patient than ever, always telling the doctors that he felt pretty good. He never complained. His spirit went home to Heaven on Sunday morning, March 22nd, as the congregation was leaving the Presbyterian church which was directly in front of the hospital. Mr. Young was a member of the Missionary Baptist church at Sardis, near Ashland, where he had lived for the last two years. He was a devout christian, exceptionally meek and humble. He was a very quiet young man, loved by every one with whom he came in contact. This was proven by the great crowd that met the body at the Central Station Monday night when even Dr. Ford found the time to meet the train and accompany the family home. At home there was another large crowd of friends waiting to express their sympathy and offer assistance. Mr. Young leaves a wife, father and mother, three brothers, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his going.
