His funeral took place yesterday and was at

including representatives from former church.
es that he had served and pastors from the
neighboring churches and from various parts
of the county. The sermon--an exceedingly
impressive one-was preached by Rev. T. e.
Vassar, of Pennington, and feeling remarks
were made Rev. II. F. Smith, D. D., of New
Brunswick. The tears of an entire congrega-
ton testified to the gentle and ClIrst-like
biographical sketch which we find in the
Hantcrdon Democrat, is SO just and compre-
hensive that we copy it,
REV. CHARLES e. YOUNG.
The death of this widely known and we'll
loved minister of Christ has probably been
heard of by the majority of our readers, and
they as well as others whom the announce
ment will to-day for the first time meet, will
regard the removal as one involving no ordi-
Diary loss.
Born, baptized and educated in New Jersey,
and spending most of his ministry within its
borders there was no part of the State where
his name was not familiar, no church of his
own denomination where he was not welcome
as a preacher, and few communities where he
was not known well enough to be held in sim
cercst affection rs a man, o brother and q
friend.
The eldest surviving child of Rev. George
Young, now of Point Pleasant, Pa, he was
born in the city of Paterson on the goth of
Aug. 1871. In his fifteenth year he was con-
verified and united with tho little church at
Wertsvile in this county, where his father
then preached Fitted for college at home, he
entered Princeton in the Autumn of 1858, and
graduated in 1869. Having been already Ii
censed by his church, he at once commenced
his theological studies in the Seminary at
Princeton, and came out the class of IS. The
same spring he was married to Miss Lizzie
Phillips of Chester, Pa, and in June settled
with the church at Brandywine, near his wife's
home, and was there ordained. Longing, how
ever for his native State, after brief stay in
Pennsylvania, he accepted call to Lamb ert-
vile, and there a ministry precious in results,
and pleasant in memories was spent. A frail
body however, which had been his inheritance,
soon showed that it was being overtaxed, and
in two or three years his health was so much
impaired that he was compelled to give up all
labor, and leave people towhom the strong
est attachments bound him. After few
months rest he partially recovered and yearn.
ing for his work, ventured to resume pastoral
labor at Plainfeld. Here again he found a
happy home, saw gracious results attending
his earnest endeavors, and formed friendships
that death alone had power to break.
But the charge there was too great for his
strength That consideration, together with
other circumstances connected with his posi-
tion, led him to entertain and finally accept
an invitation to Cherryvile, and hither he
came some more than five years ago. OF his
relation to this church many of our readers
know. Few pastors find more loving flock,
few hocks more devoted shepherd. Along
the streets of our village, too, everybody came
to know him, and here, as in every other
neighborhood around, his kind smile and cor
dial greeting will be missed and mourned.
Adjacent churches where he aided in seasons
OF religious interest with marked success and
rare acceptance, will sorrow that they shall
see his face no more. Souls guided into
christian life by his wise and tender counsels
will beat heavily around his grave. Men
making no religious profession will witness to
his maniness,. his gentleness and sterling
worth, and altogether who enjoyed the privi-
lege of his acquaintance will write over Chas.
E. Young the apostolic utterance as the fit
test, because the truest epltaph-"A good
