Johnston A. Young 
Bath County News-Outlook Thursday, December 1, 1938 
Local Business Man Passes 
Brief Illness Fatal to Johnston Young 
   Johnston A. Young, 55 years old, prominent Owingsville antique dealer, 
passed away at the Mary Chiles hospital, Mt. Sterling, Wednesday morning, 
November 30, following a several weeks' illness.  Mr. Young underwent a 
serious surgical operation at a Lexington hospital on November 14 and a 
few days later was removed to the Mary Chiles hospital, where his condition, 
critical at all times, failed to improve. 
   Born near Bethel, this county, December 4, 1883, he was a son of the 
late Albert and Maggie Tipton Young, both of whom represented prominent 
families of this section of the state.  Mr. Young was reared and educated 
in Mt. Sterling, but had been a resident of Owingsville at two different 
times during his life, the first about 1910, when he made his home here 
for a few years and the second the last ten or twelve years of his life.  
In the meantime he had lived in Central America, where he was connected 
with the United Fruit Company as a manager of a banana plantation in 
Honduras.  The last few years of his life, following his return to 
Owingsville, he operated an antique shop here.  He was considered an 
authority on antique furniture, glassware and other rare pieces.  He 
had a large and interesting collection of Indian relics and ancient pottery. 
   He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lillian Shrout Young, a daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Shrout of this place; one son, Johnston Young, Jr.; 
one sister, Mrs. Frank Masden, Kansas City; three brothers, Tipton Young, 
of Louisville, and Nat B. Young, Jr., and Robert Young, both of Mt. 
Sterling. 
   Funeral services will be held at the residence on the Sharpsburg road 
Friday afternoon, December 2, at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. 
George C. Frey, pastor of the Owingsville Christian church.  Burial 
will take place in the Owingsville cemetery.  Pall bearers are John 
Willie Young, Tollie Young, Prewitt Young, Vance Evans, James Nesbitt, 
William Tipton, Burwell Bourne and Walker Bourne. 
   Mr. Young has many friends in Bath and Montgomery counties who 
sincerely regret his untimely passing.
