“MRS. P. H. YOUNG  -   
Miss Mary E. Miles was born in Ohio on the 10th day of September 1852, and died Nov. 11, 
1903, aged 51 years, two months and one day.

She came with her parents to Jackson county, Michigan, when two years of age, remaining until 
her marriage to P. H. Young in October 1870.  Her married life has been nearly all spent in the 
vicinity of Mason.  No children blessed this union.  She was a kind and loving wife, and her 
home was a pleasant and cheerful place.  Her pleasant smile and friendly greeting endeared her 
to all with whom she came in contact, and she will be greatly missed by her many friends.

She was a member of the W. C. T. U. and L. O. T. M. M. and was a useful member of both 
orders and a good Christian woman.  She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, four sisters, two 
brothers, Marth Carr, Bellaire, Mich., Ella Gallup, Vevay, Lizzie Lumbard, Leslie; Cora Van 
Patten, Wayland, Frank Miles, Mason, Lee Miles [sic, actually a nephew], Charlotte.  

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church, Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. F. 
White.”
