      Mrs. Young was of a quiet and retiring nature which led her to hide her best qualities from public gaze, but they were revealed to those who enjoyed her acquantance. Her devotion to those she loved would make a bright chapter in any life. She was a member of the Evangelical church and of Venus Rebekah Lodge.

      Mrs. Young is survived by her sorrowing husband, parents, one sister, Miss Laura Maier, and two brothers, Fred and Edward. One sister, Maude, preceded her in death.
