Mr.. 8. Newell Young, whose death
was noted In last weeks items, was born
In Greenwood, Sept. IS, 1929. He fol-
lowed farming, and then railroad work
for several years, after that going to
Lewiston and entering into business I'M
der the firm name Of Hayes q Young
where he remained for about fifteen
years. He then came here to care for
his father, Daniel Young, who was then
living on the present home place In this
village. He resumed farming and has
taken much pride in keeping thorough
bred stock of cattle, most of which were
dairy COWS. Mr.. Young was we'll known
in all the vicinity and always had .
smile and joke for all bis associates.
He was married April Sd, 1858, to Martha
Emeline Hayes OF Norway. To them
were born three children, Cora E., who
has been living at home and assisting
P. c. Pickett in the post Office; Lillian
A., who has been employed in Haver-
hill, Mass, as telephone operator; the
only son, Newie, on whom the father
had conferred his hope for his later years,
died in early manhood mourned by rela-
tives, schoolmates and friends. This
loss was a great shock to the bereaved
parents, to- which they could not be-
come fully reconciled. The daughters
have faithfully endeavored to fill the
vacancy, and succeeded as we'll as could
be possible. About three years ago Mr..
and Mrs. Young happily celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary at their
home. Mr.. Young had but few near
relatives who are living. There is one
sister, Mrs. Jane (Young) Durham. wife
of Charles Durham of this place, and
few cousins, the following of whom
were present at the funeral service held
at the residence Monday afternoon OF
last week, Jan. 9Th: Charles Young OF
South Paris, Fred Young Of Norway,
Mrs. Abijah Hall of South Paris and
Mrs. Carrie Caldwell of North Norway,
also Mrs. Young's brother, I. A. Hayes,
of Portland, and sister, Mrs. L. B. Hayes,
of Auburn. The last two remained for
few days visit. Rev. G. A. Hayden OF
Augusta preached the funeral sermon.
1t was fitting that there should be an
abundance of beautiful flowers as Mr..
Young was lover of plants and flowers.
There were several set pieces from rela-
quets betokening the esteem in which
the deceased was held.
