Liberty Weekly Tribune, Dec 27, 1850
  Died in Memphis, Tenn., on the 26th November last, Rebecca Younger, wife of 
Coleman Younger, Esq., of this place.  She was the daughter of Major Wm. L. 
Smith, long a resident of this place, and now of California.  Mrs. Yonger has 
been greatly afflicted for two or three years, and every attention which a fond 
husband and the best medical aid, here and in the South could be bestowed upon 
her was done.  Her death affords another proof of that triumph which an humble 
faith in Christ affords the christain.  She looked to Christ as her only 
refuge, talked much of the glory that awaited her in Heaven, and often 
committing her husband and friends to the care of a merciful God, she wished to 
leave a written testimony of her strong faith in Christ and how precious He is 
on a dying bed.  Thus it is with all true christians; the blood of Jesus Christ 
is their only hoipe; no self righteousness, no merit, no good works ever enter 
the hearTor mind in the hour of death.  It was the intention of Mr. Younger to 
have brought her remains to Liberty for interment but when he reached St. Louis 
the river was closed and it was impossible to do so.  She was interred at St. 
Charles. - If this should ever reach the eye of her Father and Brothers, I pray 
God it may awaken an anxious inquiry in their minds and lead them to the Rock 
of ages.    A FRIEND
