Stephen E. Young, who was born in a log cabin on the farm northeast of Truro where he spent his entire life, died Sunday, Nov. 7 at the Osceola hospital at the age of 71 years.

Mr. Young was widely known in the Truro community. He was a member of the Methodist church there.

He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Mabel Goering of St. Charles; a son, Lloyd Young of Martensdale; three grandchildren; and two sisters, Mrs. Frances Muselman of Osceola and Mrs. Liva Foreman of Winterset.
