Mrs. W. S. Young, a resident of Winterset for the past seven years, died at her home here last Thursday after an illness of several weeks. She was 76 years of age.

Mrs. Young was the former Philomena Martin, and was born July 17, 1864, in France. When she was 13 years of age she came with her family to this country. They settled at Clarion in this state. As a young woman she lived for a number of years in Ohio.

She was married at Clarion on Feb. 19, 1919, to W. S. Young, then of Woolstock. They started housekeeping at Woolstock, but soon moved to Des Moines where they lived for about 14 years. Seven years ago they moved to Winterset.

Mrs. Young is survived by her husband; two brothers, Ed Martin of Lisbon, S. Dak., and Len Martin of Canada; as well as a number of nieces and nephews, and three foster daughters, Mrs. J. P. White, Mrs. John Cornell and Mrs. Hal Vance.
