Death of Col. Yonng. On Iasi Monday morning, Colonel John M Young, a pioneer resident of this community passed away into the great beyond. Col. Young was probably better known in this section ot the country than any other of the old resi dents, and his illness,which has been ot several years’ duration, has made in terest in him doubly intensilied, and his passing away has caused regret in many hearts as his was a nature that made hosts of friends and a comrade ship among his acquaintances lasting and strong. The funeral oecured from the Baptist church on Tuesday, Rev. Wold delivering the address, the church being crowded with friends and school children, with whom he was a great favorite, attending in a body, after which the he was lam to rest in Ever green cemetery. Mrs. Young and fam ily request us to extend their heartfelt thanks to those who so kindly helped to make his last days more pleasant and who gave their assistance and kindly offices to the list.
