The Portland Observer, Thursday, January 20, 1916

Mrs. Katherine Young died Sunday morning at the home of her son, William H. 
Young, where she had been visiting since before the holidays.  Her death was 
caused by pneumonia after an illness of but a few hours.  

Her maiden name was Katherine Dickson and she was born in Buffalo, N.Y., 61 
years ago.  Ffter the death of Mr. Young the family moved to Grand Rapids and 
from that city to Portland 23 years ago.  For the past few years Mrs. Young 
had spent much of her time with her daughters in Lansing and Grand Ledge.  She 
was of a sunny, cheerful disposition and endeared herself to all who made her 
acquaintance.  Her sudden death proved a keen shock to all her friends.

Mrs. Young is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Will Stocum, of Grand Ledge, 
Mrs. Chase Newman, of Lansing, Mrs. Grace Newman, of Grand Ledge, and one son, 
William H. Young, of Portland.  

After the funeral services Monday afternoon at the son’s home here Mrs. 
Young’s remains were taken to Buffalo to be laid to rest beside those of her 
husband.  Rev. John H. Stewart, of the Baptist church, officiated at the last 
rites, Mrs. Young having been a member of that church for many years.
