YOUNGEST SON MARRIED AN ELKroN BELIE-sHE
INSISTS ON MoNoaAMIo ,REL.ATIoN AND OBTAINS
IT.
The Elkton Whtg says that last week Mr.. John
Young, youngest son of Brigham Young the high
priest Of Mormonism,) and his wife visited Elk
ton, The way this visit came about was this
Mrs. Young, some seven years, ago when she
wts Mics Lizzie Garfield, lived in Elkton. A very
pretty cultivated girl was she in those days, and
stood in the miliiery store of Mrs. Brown.
Miss Lizzie Canheld was a second cousin
OF young Brigham, her mother and old
Patriarch Brigham ,, Y9ungs %i,g first. frss vii, wife
ded in Philadelphia. What acquaintance existed
between the young folks Of the Young family Of
Salt Lake and the Canfeds we dc not know;
but Miss Lizzie after leaving Elkt0n, started on
trip, accompanied only by younger sister to
visit the Youngs of Mormon notoriety, and also
for the purpose OF marrying John. This was
| deliberate undertaking which required no little
nerve for young, we'll. educated, accomplished
Philadelphia bred lady, but Miss Lizzie was equal
| to the ad venture. Now this undertaking will
appear the more risky and formidable. when we
| take into the account, that young Young had
already two wives What immediate FAM
| lily arrangement took place we are not
advised but the TWO first wives had to be dis
lrded to satisfy the fastidlousness OF the coming
| woman. One OF the two, the hrst we believe,
was divorced and the second was discarded,
turned away with the arrival. or previous to it,
| Of the young queen. Whether the two who had
| prior claims took this treatment kindly, aud as
a religious duty. or rehelled, we know not but
the young queen would be satisfied with moth
| Ing less.
About four years ago delegation OF picked
| women was sent to Washington to intercede
| wite the Presiuent in behalf OF Mormonism, and
| Mrs. Young, Jr, was among the number. But
| as Mr.. Creswell, who it will be remembered re-
| sides at Elkton, was present, he was recognized
/ bv Mrs. Young, and she became suddenly sick
| and left. Mrs Oreswell. however. met her Rf-
/ terward, but failed to recognize her.
The special object Of Mrs Young, East, was to
| meet her husband who has just returned from
Europe and nothing would satisfy her but for
| them to visit Elktoh together. They did SO and
| received large number OF the wife's former
friends at the Howard House, where they
stopped:
Mrs Young has insisted and carried her point
it seems. on being the sole wife OF the man
she had braved such danger for. and not satsh-
| ed with this she insisted on marriage in the
| States In the old style she had been taught in
| her girlhood to honor, and john" had to sue
cumb, before she would leave Salt Lake, declar-
| ing that she could never face her former friends
unless she was married by the ceremony ao-
