of Marion.
For Nearly Seventy Years the
LOVED and RESPECTED
For Nearly Seventy Years the
Deceased Had Lived In Marion
County.

The death of Isaac Young, one OF
the Oldest, If not the Oldest, residents
of this city, and one of its most
prominent and highly respected cit
izens, occurred at his home at No.
u2O South State street at o'clock
Tuesday evening. After scarcely ever
having experienced day OF sickness
in his eighty-five years OF life, MT.
, Young was compelled to answer the
summonings of the death angel which
came through the dreaded disease OF
uraemic poisoning.
Thursday evening, October "a, Mr..
Young took to his bed His advanced
age lent encouragement to the dis
ease and his condition gradually grew
worse. Last Sunday he lay in a
comatose state and his demise was
almost hourly expected. Monday,
however, his condition changed
slightly for the better, but 1t after
wards proved to be only the final
struggle of the mans tremendous will
over the weaker physical machine.
Mr.. Young was conscious until
within an hour of his death He rec
ognized the members of his family
until the last hour, when he slept
peacefully away He died as he had
lived. peaceful and happy.
The deceased was aged nearly IS
years. He was born in Perry county,
Pennsylvania, March %, 1923. He
was the son of Christian and Hannah
Young and came of line of ancest-
ors, pioneers in that section of the
country. His grandfather, Felix
Young, was veteran of the Revolu-
ton and died on the battle field In
one of the engagements Of that des-
perate struggle.
For nearly seventy years, Mr.. Young
had been a resident of Marion county.
His parents came here when he was
scarcely fifteen years OF age and set
tied on farm two miles south of the
city. At the age Of eighteen, Isaac
Young left the farm and learned the
carpenter trade in this city, being en-
Iployed in one of the wagon shops,
where only the crudest kind of tools
were used. This was about sixty-sev-
en- years ago and two wagon shops
was all that Marion could support at
that age.
