Cadet Harold A. Young, Jr., 23 years old, was killed Tuesday in an airplane crash near West Point Military Academy. Cadet Young was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold A. Young, who now lived in Long Beach, Cal., and who lived in Remsen for 18 months during 1931-1932.

At the time of their residence in Remsen, Mr. Young, Sr., was employed as a salesman in the Schaais Hardware store. The crash victim was but 13 years old when the family moved to Sioux City where they resided for several years.

Cadet Young was a member of the class to be graduated from the military academy in June. He enlisted with the regular army three years ago and a year ago completed a period of flight training in California. His brother, Lieut. Blaine Young, is on active duty with the Coast Artillery in the Pacific.
