The announcement this morning
that Jno Young had breathed his
last at the Franklin House was re-
ceived with general sorrow by the
public. For the past few days his
death has been expected, but early
this moring he seemed to rally some
what, and his friends were hopeful,
This was only temporary, however,
and by eight O'Clock he began to sink
rapidly. He expired without a
struggle at nine O'Clock.
Mr.. Yonng was feeble during the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows meet
ing here, but never gave up, so much
engrossed was he in the proceedings
of that body. On last Sunday he
went to the Franklin House sick.
His trouble soon developed into a
we'll defined case of pneumonia, and
though all that the attention Of
friends and medical skill could do
to relieve him, he gradually grew
worse until death claimed him as
his victim.
Jno. Young was fifty-eight years of
age and was Virginian by birth.
He came to GAINESVILLE. according to
most reliable information at hand,
in 1885, and went into the saddle and
harness. business with Jas. Tate, de-
ceased. Since that time he had been
conducting, in quiet way, saddle
and harness business here, and had
the confidence of the people who
dealt with him, by doing good, hon
est work.
The deceased will be missed more,
perhaps, in secret order circles than
elsewhere. He took more interest
in the orders to which he belonged,
perhaps, than any man in the city,
and his work in this direction is a
monument to his devotion to the
orders. He was one of the charter
members of Cumberland Lodge
Knights of Pythias, and since the
Lodge was instituted has been one
of its most active workers. AT the
time of his death he was Keeper OF
Records and Seal of this lodge, and
his books were always models OF
neatness and accuracy.
For several years past he has been
Secretary of Pythagora5 Lodge,
l. 0. o. F., and his duty has been
discharged here as elsewhere. Young
Encampment, |. 0. O, f., was
named for him in honor of his faith
full services in behalf of the order,
and at the time of his demise he was
its Scribe. He was also Historian for
Cumberland Lodge, X. of p, and
Pythagorss Lodge, |. o. o. F. His
comrades in these organizations
loved him as father almost, and to-
day their heads are bowed with grief
because he is with them no more
He has left his footprints behind him,
however, and his memory will be
cherished as sacredy- and many a
token of love will be placed on his
bier.
Mr.. Young also served several
terms IA alderman from the Second
ward and was holding that office
when he died. His relations with
the board of aldermen have always
been pleasant, and he has discharged
his official duties with a degree OF
conservatism that has always been
marked. His views on all questions
pertaining to municipal affairs were
always given consideration by his
associates, and as a rule they were
sound
Mr. Young was never married,
and he has but one kinsmon living
so far as is known here. His neph-
ew, c. n. Young, resides at Sweet.

the deceased was member. The

tonight. however, and will be given
to the public tomorrow.
