George W. Young Dies At Salt Lick 
Was Counties Oldest Teacher 
   George W. Young, 84 years old, died at his home at Salt Lick Saturday 
morning, March 5, after a long illness.  A remarkably active man, he 
carried his years lightly until about a year ago when his health began 
to fail and following a fall last December, had declined rapidly. 
   Born at what was known as Young's Mill on Salt Lick Creek January 28, 
1854, he was a son of Reuben and Mildred Carrington Young.  After the 
death of his father, which occurred when he was 13 years old, he tended 
the old water wheel and supported the family.  He attended what schools 
were available at that time and entered Transylvania College at Lexington 
to prepare himself for the ministry, a calling, which, however, he did 
not follow, becoming instead a school teacher.  For fifty five consecutive 
years he taught in the public school system of Bath County, taking a 
prominent part at all times in Sunday school and other religious activities. 
   His wife Mrs. Hannah Smith Young, to whom he was married in 1876, 
passed away thirty four years ago.  He is survived by two daughters, 
Mrs. Earl Floyd, Callian, Colo.; and Mrs. Spencer, Nampa, Idaho, and 
four sons, Clyde Young, Olympia; Robert Young, Morehead; R. H. Young, 
Parma Idaho, and J. H. Young, Fruitland, Idaho. 
   Funeral services were held at the Salt Lick Methodist Church, 
Monday morning, March 7, at 10 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. 
Howard Daulton.  Interment was in the Wilmore, Ky., cemetery.
