The following account of the mar ried life of John Younger, son of J L.

 On December they were married in this city, two months after Young CT had been honorably discharged from the army. They have since been living in the second story back apart ment at 120 N 21st Street.
 Last night Younger was stricken with the recurrence of the effects of the German gas and the bride is at his bedside administering medicine in the place of nurse.
