Years and Was Much EstssHsd d-Lsaves
Daughter Seven Months Of Age
Nothing that has happened in years
came with such astonishing suddenness
in oakes as happened last Friday night
when the soul Of Mrs. "A. ]. Young
passed to the God who gave it. Fri
day morning she arose apparently in the
best of health. Her two sisters-in-law,
Misses Olive and Mabel Young, had ar
rived on the night train from Athol,
S. D., on asvisit and they had been as
sisting in doing up the morning dishes.
when at once Mrs. Young was taken
with q sickness Of the stomach and had
stepped outside on the porch for q
breath Of fresh air. No sooner had
she gotten there than she fell in q
swoon, which lapsed into spasn,s.
She was taken into the house and DR..
F. w. Maercklein called, who dag
nosed the case as uremia in its very
worst form. The doctor worked hard
and patiently for fourteen hours, but
the patient passed away at Friday night,
June 7th, at 11:20. She did not regain
consciousness after the first attack.
The city was as If thunderstruck
the next morning on the announce
ment Of her death. Mrs. Young has
been resident of the city only two
years and half, but her quiet, unas-
suming ways and lovable disposition
had endeared her to the whole populace
and everybody uttered q sigh Of regret
as the news passed from ear to ear.
Again had q loving wife and. mother
been taken without warning and again
has home been left cheerless and
desolate. Nothing but the kindliest
words could be said Of departed, and
the sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the husband and little
daughter who are bereft Of the af-
lection Of noble, true-hearted wife
and mother. Il
Mrs. Young's maiden name was
Margaret Caroline Cranston, q
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Royal
tCranston of Pollock, s. D. She was
born in Moody county, S. D., on Dec
ember q, 1880, and with the exception
Of two years spent in Minnesota, she
spent her life in our sister state. She
was graduate Of the state college al
Brookings. of which her husband was
also graduate, and they were married
at Aberdeen October 10, 1903. The
family moved here on December II
1904, Mr.. Young at that time having
purchased the drug store Of E. A
Porter. Seven. months ago the,
welcomed a little daughter into th,
home, which they had named Rutl
Margaret.
The funeral was held from the Pres
byterian church Sabbath afternoon q
half after two, Rev. r. T. Fultol
preaching the funeral sermon. TIL
minister chose as the theme Of hil
discourse the lsssopof Jesus and th,
two sisters Of Lazarus. the churcl
being crowded 70 the doors. The re
mains were inferred in the oake
cemetery. I
n Those who attended the funers
from distance were: Mr.. and Mra
+. E. Young, parents Of Mr.. Young .
Athol; Mrs. R. A. Batteen Of North
vile; Mrs. Royal Cranston, and. so

made his home hers for the past tw
years OF more is also brother. a

homes, with the exception Of Mn
