February 16, 1897, page 1Mrs. Rinda Young, wife of C. W. Young, departed this life last Wednesday. She has been a sufferer from consumption for the past two years. During this time everything possible has been done to stay the progress of the disease and restore the afflicted one to health, but without avail. Her suffering has been intense, but through it all she has shown remarkable courage and patience.
On Wednesday morning, after several days of the greatest suffering she had yet endured, she rested easier and was seemingly free from pain; toward the middle of the forenoon she fell into a quiet sleep from which she never wakened.
The funeral was held Thursday from the Christian church and the remains interred in the Young cemetery. Deceased leaves a kind husband, three children, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death.
Relatives present at the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap, of Winterset; S. B. Winchester and son, of East Peru, and Mr. and Mrs. Martin, of St. Charles.

February 19, 1897, page 2Orinda A. Kale Young was born August 26th 1860, and was married to C. W. Young Sept. 1878. She united with the Christian church in 1892, and was baptised in the following year by Rev. Golden, died February 10th 1897, leaving a loving husband and three dutiful children.
Friends done all in their power to reclain(sic) the precious one in health and vigor, leaving nothing undone that would aid in that direction, but the dread disease, consumption claimed its earthly victim, but the pure spirit returned to God who gave, there to dwell in its permanent and everlasting home, there to await those left behind. Tedious and painful illness her cheerfullness patience and resignation were remarkable. She often said she was prepared for death and not to weep for her, she was ready to go, and the closing scene was a sweet and peaceful sleep. Such is the death of one who died in the faith of our Lord.
