Death of Mrs. T. K. Young

Mrs. T. K. Young was stricken suddenly with a fatal illness at the Seidler home Monday noon. She had been doing her regular work there, as for years, and had just completed it when she complained of being sick. Mrs. Seidler made her as comfortable as possible and called a doctor, who urged that she be sent home at once. The Seidler grocery auto was sent for and she was taken in it on a stretcher, expiring just as she was taken out, a half hour after she first complained.

Mrs. Young was a woman of unusual physical strength and energy, doing work at the age of 85 years, which many young women cannot do. She was the mother of a large family, all grown to maturity. Kind and generous as a friend, she will be greatly missed by a wide acquaintance.

The date has not been set for the funeral services, as relatives from a distance are expected.
