Death of Mrs. H. R. Young

Mrs. H. R. Young died early Wednesday morning at her home on East Washington street, after an illness of bronchial pneumonia. Mrs. Young had an attack of the flu and had recovered and had entertained her family at her home at a Christmas dinner. On last Wednesday she went to Des Moines with her daughter, Mrs. Deal of Jefferson and they were guests at the Dee Young home. The latter part of the week she became ill, pneumonia developing in a short time.

Mrs. Young was 69 years of age and had made her home in this county since she was a young girl when she moved here with her parents from New York. She and her husband, the late Ham Young, made their home for many years on their farm between here and Peru. After her husband's death over seven years ago, she resided with her son, Sam Young, who lives on the home farm, for three years. Then she moved to her present location on East Washington street. Previous to her marriage she was known as Edna Osborn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jed Osborn.

Mrs. Young is survived by four children; Dr. Tom Young, of Glendale, California; Dee Young of Des Moines; Mrs. Lee Deal of Jefferson and Sam Young of Scott township.

Funeral arrangements will be made upon the arrival of the son, Sam Young, who was summoned back from California where he was visiting his brother. Mr. Young will arrive home this morning and funeral services will be held some time Friday, January 4th.

Mrs. Edna Osborn Young

Mrs. Edna Osborn Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jed Osborn, was born near Gloversville, New York, September 14, 1849 and passed away at her home in Winterset January 2, 1929 at the age of 79 years, 3 months and 18 days.

She moved with her parents to Illinois at an early age, later coming to Iowa and settled in Walnut township, Madison county, where she spent her girlhood and young womanhood.

On October 13, 1870, she was married to H. R. Young, also of Walnut township and immediately they went to housekeeping on their farm in Scott township, where their children were all born and grew to manhood and womanhood, and where just a short time before Mr. Young's death they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.

The children who came to bless this home are; J. D. Young, Des Moines, Mrs. R. L. Deal, Jefferson; Sam Young of Winterset; and Dr. T. C. Young of Glendale, California.

After the death of her husband on March 5, 1921, Mrs. Young remained on the home farm for about two years, then moved to Winterset, where she made her home until her death. Mrs. Young was baptized and united with the Church of Christ in her girlhood, in which faith she remained steadfast during her life. She was an indulgent and loving mother, a good neighbor and kind friend.

She leaves to mourn her passing her beloved children, one brother, Chester Osborn of Fawcett, Missouri; six grandchildren and four great grandchildren who will miss their grandmother and always hold her in loving remembrance, also many friends and neighbors who will miss her kindly smile.

Funeral services were held Friday at 11 o'clock at the Church of Christ conducted by the Rev. F. C. McCallon.
