7. M. YOUNG STRICKEN
WITH APOPLEXY
Lay All Alone For Two Hours
Before Discovered.
Happened Thursday Evening---Death
Came Monday Night at 11:3O---Fun-
eral Tomorrow Afternoon at 2.

It was with a shock of surprise
and sorrow that Lancaster citizens
learned of the apoplectic stroke
which came without warning to
Theodore M. Young the well-known
insurance agent, last Thursday af
ternoon. Mr.. Young was very
methodical man and usually left his
office for home at 4:30 in the after
noon. When 5 o'clock, then $50
had arrived, last Thursday, Mrs.
Young began to think something
very unusual had occurred to 5etain
him. She telephoped to bis office
but could get no answer. Six o'clock
passed without anything being
learned concerning him, and then
Mrs. Young, thoroughly alarmed
and accompanied by neighbor
lady, went down to his flee to see
W hat could be the matter.
AS they opened the office door
Mrs Young was shocked to find her
husband lying upon the floor uncon-
scious. He had apparently been
Just about to leave the office on his
way home, as he had his overcoat
OF and his hat lay near him where
it had rolled when it fell. He had
his eye glasses in one hand 1t is
supposed that he received this stroke
at about 4 80 and had laid there un-
conscious for nearly two hours be-
fore he was discovered.
The alarm was at once given and
Drs. Hassell, Godfrey and Fowler
summoned. They did all that could
be done under the circumstances
and Mr.. Young was taken home in
an unconscious state, from which he
never rallied.
All hopes of his regaining con
seriousness proved futile and at 11'30
Monday night he peacefully passed
away. The funeral will be held at
the house tomorrow Thursday af-
ternoon, at 2 o'clock, Rev. Morgans,
of the NJ E. church and Rev. W.
II. Hannaford, pastor of the Congre-
gational church. officiating. The
remains will be taken Friday morn
ing to Burlington, Ia Mrs. YOung's
old home, for burial, and 1t is ex
pected as possible that she will re
move tn that place to reside.
Mr.. Young was gentleman very
much thought of in Lancaster and
his condition during the week has
been. the subj ct of much anxious
inquiry and sy mpathetic comment
throughout the city.
The herald has been unable to
prepare an obituary notice in time

Mr.. Budd went to Chicago little

A very pleasant social event OF
last week was the 25th wedding an
niversary of Mr. and Mrs. Louis
Vesperman, of South Lancaster.
About 60 relatives and friends of
the family assem- bled to extend con
gratulatlons to the happy couple
who were at their best and enjoy ed
the occasion to the fullest with their
merry friends
Rev. VIM c. Laube, who has
charge of the German Presbyterian
church, of which the Vesperman
family are members, conducted a
brief service. After the singing of
a hymn and the reading Of the 128th
psalm Rev. Laube reminded the
friends that this was not merely an
occasion of cOngratulatlOn and
felicitation but that they should not
forget the giver of all good and per-
feet gifts, the heavenly Father who
has so richly blessed the family. He
reminded them when 25 years ago
Mr.. and Mrs Vesperman started
out to establish a home of their
own it was with hard toll and very
modest circumstances, but now God
has blessed the labor of their hands
abundantly and has given them

prosperity and plenty. To Him
they should look and give thanks.
They also have great reasons for be-
ing thankful for their happy family
and home Two of their six chill
dren have been taken to the heaven
ly home by the good Shepherd in
their infancy; the other four are to-
gether with their parents forming
beautiful and happy family. In re-
memEering the goodness of the Lord
they should also be humble for their
own shortcomings and seek to serve
Him more fully. In enjoying the
blessings they should seek above all
the spiritual gifts which God has
given in His son After prayer Rev.
Laube read a German poem which
he had composed for the occasion
At noon sumptuous dinner was
served which was heartily enjoyed
by all. Many beautiful and useful
pieces of silver were presented by
the friends. The afternoon was
spent in a very pleasant manner
amid happiness and good cheer.
That Mr. and Mrs. Vesperman
may be spared to celebrate their
golden wedding was the wish of all.
