MRS. SOPHIA YOUNT
 
Sophia Meyer was born in Rock City, Illinois, November 12th, 1848, and had 
passed the 84 year mark when she was called.  She was united in marriage to 
Chas. Yount at Broadhead, Wisconsin, September 15, 1883.  To this union were 
born four children; Lyman, Logan, Ruth and Naomi.  Two of these children 
survive her, Logan of Los Angeles and Mrs. Naomi Farson of Payette.
 
She also leaves four step-children; Clarence of Grants Pass, Oregon; Holden of 
Richmond, Va; Adam of Portland; and Mrs. Hannah Pearce of our city.  There are 
15 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.
 
Three sisters survive; Eliza Borger; of Freeport, Ill.; Lydia Kissinger of 
Seward, Nebraska; and Rebecca Myer of Colorado Springs, Colo.
 
After Mr. Yount passed away at Hampton, Tenn., in 1910, Mrs. Yount went to 
Columbus, Ohio and made her home with her son Logan, until 1914 when she came 
to Idaho and made her home with her daughters, Mrs. John Pearce and Mrs. Miles 
Farson.
 
When quite young she gave her heart to the Lord and united with the 
Evangelical church where she retained her membership through the years.
 
As a testimony of her christian life, her children and step-children unite in 
praise of her sterling motherhood.  Mrs. Pearce tells me that her own mother 
could not have been better to them than was this good woman who has passed 
away.  Her memory will ever be cherished.
 
Music was furnished by Edna Powell, Hatty Salee and Myrtle Wood.
