DR. AND MRS. LEVI YOUNG CELEBRATE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR MARRIAGE ON 
OCT. 13th

On Wednesday afternoon of last week, Dr. and Mrs. Levi S. Young of Moreland, 
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage with a golden wedding 
and it was an occasion long to be remembered by the hundred or more friends 
who gathered to do honor to this popular and beloved couple.

A large number of handsome presents were received. Among these was a gold 
watch, a gift to Dr. Young from his children; a beautiful cameo brooch, a 
gift to Mrs. Young from the children also; a handsome gold-headed cane, a 
gift to Dr. Young from his brothers and sisters; a beautiful gilt clock, a 
gift to the couple from the physicians of Newnan, and a number of other 
elegant presents from friends, both at home and at distant points.

Dr. Young was born in Coweta county in 1838 and Mrs. Young (nee Julia 
Bexley) was born the same year in Lowndes county, Miss. They were married on 
Aug. 4, 1859, in this county, Rev. Hiram Camp officiating. They have four 
children, Dr. A.Q. Young, Mrs. E.H. Carmical and Mrs. J.W. Cole of Moreland 
and Mr. W.A. Young of Jackson, Tenn. All were present at the golden wedding 
except the latter.

Dr. Young is a veteran of the Civil War, having enlisted May 3, 1861 as a 
member of Capt. S.W. Lee's company, Co. A., 7th Georgia regiment. He lost an 
arm in the battle of Manassas and in November following was discharged from 
service, returning home the latter part of 1861, when he took up the 
practice of medicine and has followed it continuously and successfully 
since.
