Americas Times Recorder: Over
quarter of a century ago, there came 10 this
country from England a middle-aged man
named Young, who left behind him In
Great Britain his two children. He did
quite well in business and finally became the
pcsSeSsor of considerable wealth. The ac-
QUESTION of money did not bring with it hap.
piness. however, for after he had been
few years in the United States he lost sight
of his children, and each successive year.
Notwithstanding bis inquiries, brought
no tidings OF them. His son,
Joe, came to Sumter about
twenty years ago with his uncle, Sam Hayes,
and settled in the Fifteenth district. He
married after while,a and five children were
the result OF the union. Joe Young's death
was decidedly tragic. He became embroiled
IN ditfiulty with Lit Spivey, which termi-
mated in the death Of both parties. His
family consisted of four sons, two Of whom
are now married, and a daughter. Last
year old man Young, who resides in PhiIa-
delphia, first found out that the family Of
his son was living in Sumter After a
little correspondence he made preparations
to visit them, aud Wednesday night he ar
ived in the city. Yesterday he found bis
grandchildren and made known
bis intention OF giving each
one Of them $4,000. He has two more
grandchildren in England, and he proposes
90 give them a similar amount. Mr.. Hayes
Is now quite an old man, having lived four
teen years beyond the allotted three score
and ten. His grandchildren in Sumter
county are we'll known, and have gained
reputation both for industry and integrity.
Tie 800, which be proposes to divide
among his heirs consists in part of cash,
real estate. stocks and bonds. the latter of
which are now safely deposited in Phila-
delphia. After short visit here, Mr..
Young will leave for England, accom-
