A Mother In Israel
Was Called To Her Reward
When Mrs. Young Died
Highland. Nov, 3.

hame Young had passed away.
Mrs. Young had been sick for
over a year but had only been
confined to her bed about two
months. She was just II years
old but has been very active
all of her life, even making her
garden and keeping up her
household duties till the past
season. Mrs. Young was the
widow of the Nelson Young, a
Union soldier, who preceded
her to the grave many years
ago. She is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Rilla Chest
nut, who has made her home
with her for years, and whose
devotion to her mother in her
helpless days was all that
could be asked for by any
mother, and the other daugh-
ter, Mrs. Emeline Young, who
lives near her. She is also sur
vived by three grandchildren,
Mr.. Ben Chestnut, of Somer-
set, Mrs. K. L. McGuffey and
Mrs. J. E. Young, of this place,
and five Observation-Disclosures.
The way these granddaughter
forsook their homes and stood
by their mother in a tireless
devotion to their aged grand
mother, who had given them a
home in youth is very COM
mendable. Also the many
friends and relatives in her
we'll days did not forsake her
in her dark days. 1t can be
truthfully said that there was
never any one who had more
company in sickness. Aunt Ru-
hame's home was like a public
stopping place. People for
miles around were in the habit

received such a hearty well

noon in good weather you
could find the porch filled with
women and the yard we'll fill
ed with men, boys and chill
dren. Although there were no
men folks lived there, she had
so many relatives that you
would find as many men as
women there. Mrs. Young
leaves five brothers in this
neighborhood; John, Neal
Hen, Green and Eph Young
and Fount Young, out west. Tt

two sets of Youngs, in thi.
