Portland Observer, 8 Mar 1905

The older veterans of the Civil war are fast bivouacking on the eternal camping 
ground, and the number from this locality was added to last Sunday, when George 
W. Young died suddenly of heart failure at his home in Danby, aged 65 years.  
He had been troubled with heart disease for a long time and been confined to 
the bed a couple of weeks before death, but he was not considered any worse 
than he had been, but he passed away within the space of a minute.

He was a native of New York state but came to Portland 35 years ago from 
Jackson county, Michigan, and resided here until ten years ago, when he moved 
to Danby and engaged in farming.  At Jackson in ?? he enlisted in Co. D. First 
Mich. Inf., and served about two years when he was discharged on account of bad 
wound in leg.  He was a ?? and a member of John Megarah Post of Portland.

Besides the widow he is survived by 4 children, Mrs. James Wainwright of Danby, 
Mrs. Freeman Adams,  Will and Ben Young of Portland.  Funeral services will be 
conducted from Grange hall in Danby on Wednesday at 10 o’clock.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was 
buried in Portland Cemetery.]
