James Q. Young - An old resident of our town, one who was well and 
widely known throughout this and adjoining counties-for a long period a 
locomotive engineer, on the old Portage, and also on the Pa. Central, 
paid the debt we all owe to nature, and "passed those great gates which 
swing backward into eternity." He was cut off in the prime of his life 
aged 43 years, leaving two orphan daughters and a large circle of 
mourning friends. James Q. Young died in this place, Friday the 6th 
inst., and was buried in the Lutheran cemetery on the following Sunday.
