Last of Brigham Young's Sons Dead in Salt Lake City at 83
Only Four Daughters of 56 Children Born to Church Leader by 19 Wives Now Living—Eldest Is 78.
By the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 21.—Time has whittled down Brigham Young's family of 56 children born him by 19 wives until today only 4 aristocratic, elderly women survive.
The last of the Latter Day Saints Church patriarch's 25 sons—Joseph Don Carlos Young, 83—died Wednesday. Only 4 of the Mormon leader's 31 daughters remain.
Three of them are highly active. Each is white-haired, blue-eyed, proud. All are residents of Salt Lake City.
Mrs. Clarissa Y. Young, 78, eldest living daughter of the church's second president and the first Governor of the territory of Deseret, is the most spry. The small-statured woman is still active socially. In her spare time she acts as a guide in the Lion House, Mormon social center. She is the only one of the four who is not a widow.
Least known of the surviving daughters is 77-year-old Mrs. Ruth Y. Healy. Because of ill health she lives a secluded life.
Most active in church work is Mrs. Mabel Y. Sanborn, 75, ruddy-cheeked, affable head of the Information Bureau of the church's Genealogical Society.
Youngest survivor and the last of the patriarch's children is Mrs. Fannie Y. Clayton, 68, who takes a prominent part in women's work.
All were born in Salt Lake City
on the Young estate, where the church offices and social centers now stand.
Mrs. Sanborn recalled today how each evening her father met with the entire family at evening prayer.
"The mothers, surrounded by their children, sat in their respective chairs around a large living room," she said. "Father sat at a table in the center. Following prayer, he would go to each group, asking about children who were missing from the family meeting of the day, inquire about household affairs."
Each of the wives and her children lived in separate apartments.
Of the Mormon leader's 56 children, only 10 died in infancy, Mrs. Sanborn recalled. Four of them, two pairs of twins, died during the bitter winter of 1847 that the Mormon party, heading westward, spent at Florence, Nebr.
Congress passed the anti-polygamy bill in 1882. Plural marriage was ruled out by the L. D. S. Church in 1890. Young died in 1877 at the age of 76.
Half-Time Rest Strike on W.P.A. Project Ended
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—A delicate problem in specialization—whether a man should be asked to use both pick and shovel on a ditching job—brought a one-day sitdown strike of 38 W. P. A. workers on a Bronx project yesterday.
The workers maintained, supervisors said, that pick-and-shovel work is a team arrangement in the more enlightened circles, with one man working while the other rests.
After a conference with officials, the men agreed to return to the job today. Supervisors said the strike followed an order that the laborers spend less time talking and more time working.

War-Department Revolutionary Claims I certify that, in conformity with the Laws of the United States of the 11 th June 1832 John Young of the State of New York, who was a private in the War of the Revolution, is entitled to receive thirty four dollars and sixty five Cents per annum during his Natural life, commencing on the 4 th of March 1831 and payable semi-annually on the 4 th of March and 4 th of September in every year. Given at the War Office of the United States this 6 day of May One thousand eight hundred and thirty three John H. Robt Examiners and Countersigned John  Acting Secretary of War J. L. Edwards Commissioner of pensions
(Numbered 9044)
That he resided at the time he received the above Certificate at East Mendon Monroe County in the State of New York, That he performed the following tours of Service during the Revolutionary War, which were named in his declaration when he claimed a pension, and under the following Offi- cers to wit, In the year 1780 he enlisted at Hopkinton in Mid- dlex County Massachusetts for six months in the 2 a Massach- -setts regiment commanded by Colonel Bailey & Lieutenant- Col. Brattle or Brattle his company was commanded by Lieutenant Robert Muzzy or Muzzey (he can not recollect how spelled) called Major Mansfield's company. during this tour the troops with which he served were commanded by Continental officers, and he and others were enlisted for the term of 6 months in order to fill vacancies as he believes. In the year 1781 he served 3 months in the militia, he can not recollect the name of the Col. of the regiment but his comp- -any was under the command of Captain Samuel Joy he believes (although he thinks sometimes commanded by Captain Howard) and Lieutenant Loring or Loring his discharge was signed by Capt Joy

In 1782 he served one month and a half in a company of Militia commanded he thinks by Captain James Miller in a regiment commanded by Col Chamberlin & were engaged in repairing fortifications on Butts Hill on Rhode Island, In making his affidavit in order to get a transfer he did not know that it was necessary to state the names of all the officers under whom he served but meant to state the names of those under whom his principal tour of service was performed as nearly as he could recollect. His pension being small he did not intend to draw oftener than once a year and unfortunately when he did make application at the New York agency payment was refused repeatedly on account (as was alleged) of erasures or informality in his paper and in consequence, two years has elapsed since he has received any payment on his pension.

Brief in the case of Hannah Young. Widow of John Young.
Steuben County and State of New York. } a Private in the act 3 d February 1833 } revolution.
Claim, ("original," or "for increase.")
Proof exhibited, (if original.)
Is it documentary, traditional, or supported by rolls? If either, state the substance.
John Young was a pensioner under the act of 7 th June 1832 at the rate of $34.65. per ann. and the vouchers in the 3 d Auditor's Office show that the last payment was made in the year 1836. No record proof, public or private of the marriage,
(If for increase.)
Has additional evidence been filed since the admission of the claim? If so, what?
and no proof testimony of witnesses present at the ceremony. Marriage occurred in the state of New York, at a time when there was no law requiring a public record to be kept.
The marriage relation proven by the testimony of seven witnesses, certified to be respectable & credible, who knew the parties for many years, in two different towns in which they resided, who state that the parties lived together irreproachably as husband & wife, and
Name and residence of Agent
That no doubt was ever entertained Examining Clerk. that of their marriage, by legal process.
Sanity and present widowhood proven by

abundant and satisfactory testimony. As John Young, the pensioner was the father of Brigham Young, the Mormon , who is reputed to have a greater number of wives than the laws of the state of New York allow, and as the pensioner him- self adopted the illegal practice of his son, and joined the Mormons in Ohio in 1835, and then started to go with them to Nauvoo in Ill. but died on the way, the rules have been more strin- gently applied in this case than in others, in- requiring such proof (in the absence of record evidence) of the relation of husband & wife as should place the fact of marriage beyond a doubt; not only that the parties held that relation before Mormonism existed but that it was never doubted that the ceremony of marriage by legal process had taken place, and that the parties had lived together in that relation virtuously, blamelessly, & exclusively. I think the proof shows that they did!.
Allowed at the rate of $34.65 per annum. To begin on the 3 rd February 1853.
