Il. +. Delo then read an interesting bio
graphical sketch of Mr.. Young which, owing
10 press OF other matter, the GLoBE-RE-
PUBLIC is unable TO reproduce entire. The
following, however, are cOpiOus extracts:
The deceased, Daniel Young, ST., whose
memory we cherish and whose noble life
we honor, was born February :, 1876, in
MiddletOwn valley, Nd, died at Springfield,
Ohio, December Sd, 1856, was aged 30 years,
months and 26 days.
He was confirmed In 1914 by Rev. Geo.
Grsyer, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran
church of MiddletOwn, Md. He was q
member Of the church at Middletown. Nd,
seventeen years, at Burketsville thirty
three years, and al Springfield member of
this church since September 5th, 1864, a
period of over twenty-five years. Alto
gether he was a member of the church for q
period of seventy-two years.
His fathers name was Conrad Young,
and was a native German. Father Young
was married in 1878 TO Miss Mary BowluS.
OF this union there were thirteen children.
seven sons and six daughters. Mother
Young died in 1855. Also seven children,
five sons and two daughters. preceded him
TO eternity. Two sons, four daughters,
thirty-three grandchildren and eight great
grandchildren survive him and mourn his
loss.
Father Young was in an eminent degree
good man, and when this is said, and
truthfully said, no grander nor nobler epi-
taph can be written or spoken of any man.
Common sense, the very best Of all sense,
characterized his whole life in all his deal
ingS with men, and conduct among men.
He was thoughtful, patient and kind in his
intercourse with his fellow men. Honest
and upright in all his business relations and
transactions. As an honest and upright
man he enjoyed the respect and confidence
of all who knew him, and in passing let it
be remembered that honesty has its re-
wards.
As member of the church and Sunday
school, faithful and always reliable. Think
Of man in his ninetieth and ninety-frst
year hitching in his horse on Sunday morn
ing and driving two miles through storm
and sunshine and always in his place in the
Sunday school and sanctuary.
The exercises closed by some very pathet-
ic remarks by DIR. HelwIg and the singing
of Nearer MY God to Thee"
