Another of our aged citizens a vet
eran of the Civil War, has answered
to the last roll call and entered into
rest. George Young, Sr., passed away
on Friday evening, aged S5 years, of
the diseases incident to old age. I'm
til the past year he had enjoyed good
health and had been able to work.
He took a keen interest in the late
war and eagerly read the newspapers
without the aid of glasses for news at
the front where a favorite grandson
was doing duty with the 59th Pioneers
in France. Funeral services were
held at his late residence Monday af-
ternOon, attended by a large body of
relatives and friends. Rev W. W.
