JAMES E. YOUNG

A lifelong resident of Duncansville and vicinity, died at his home at 514 
West Fourteenth street, Duncansville, this morning at 8 o'clock, death being 
attributed to bronchial pneumonia contracted only a few days ago.  Mr. Young 
suffered a fall last Sunday a week ago in which he received fractures of 
several ribs and the development of pneumonia followed.  Mr. Young observed 
his 81st natal day last Sunday, being born on Feb. 4, 1859, a son of Jacob 
and Mary Isett Young.  He was united in marriage with Mary Smith at East 
Freedom on Jan. 12, 1888, and to this union fifteen children were born, 
thirteen of whom survive, with the wife, as follows:  Mrs. Ethel Hanley and 
William I. Young of Duncansville, Mrs. Cora Olive of Leedstown, Va., Miss 
Marjorie Walter of Roaring Spring, Mrs. Ruth Kesser of Washington, D.C., 
Agnes Young of Newberry, Ind., Dorothy Young of Atlantic City, Luther, 
Beatrice, Helen, Maud, Hector and Paul, all at home.  Mr. Young was the last 
of his immediate family except a half-brother and half-sister, Orlando Young 
of Foot of Ten, west of Duncansville, and Mrs. Charlotte Woolridge of Plane 
10.  Fifteen grandchildren also survive.  Mr. Young at one time was employed 
at the Altoona freight station but in recent years was engaged in trucking 
and working about Duncansville.  He always took an active part in civic 
affairs.
