The Washington Spy [Hagerstown, MD], May 3, 1793, p. 2, col. C and p. 3, col. A
Elizabeth-Town, Maryland, May 3.

     Died, on Friday last, aged 51 years, the Rev. GEORGE YOUNG, who, for about 
19 years, officiated as Minister of the Gospel in the German Lutheran 
Congregation of this Town.---He was a man of piety, integrity and learning, and 
possessed a heart pregnant, in an high degree, with friendship, benevolence, 
urbanity, charity, and a tremendous train of other christian and social 
virtues.  His remains were decently interred on Sunday, admidst his mourning 
relatives and neighbours.  He has left a young and disconsolate widow and a 
number of children to bewail, more especially, the loss.  After the funeral 
rites were over, a well adapted sermon was preached by the Rev. Yunck, from the 
Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, 8th and 9th verses.  "For we would 
not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that 
we were oppressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired 
even of life; But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not 
trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead."
