In 1875 they moved to a farm about two and a half miles east of Truro, where they lived until the spring of 1909, when they moved to Truro.

Twelve children were given to this home, one daughter, Cora Josephine, dying in infancy. Eleven children, four sons and seven daughters, 38 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren survive her.

Mrs. Young was a member of the M. E. church for many years and often expressed a desire to go and be with Jesus. One of her favorite portions of scripture was the 23d psalm. She requested that John 14-1 be used as the text for her funeral sermon. Funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Truro Thursday at 1:30 p.m., conducted by the pastor, Rev. Koser, and interment was made in the St. Charles cemetery. The sympathy of the community goes to these children in their double bereavement, their father having passed away on March 31st.
