Geo. Young Funeral Saturday Afternoon

Funeral services for George Young, 76, of 236 G avenue, who died Thursday noon, will be held at the Bishop Funeral home Saturday afternoon at 2:00, with Rev. C. E. Lookingbill in charge. Interment will be in the Nevada cemetery.

George Young, second son of ten children of Henry and Catherine Young, was born in Green county, Wisconsin in 1855 and died at his home in Nevada January 15, 1931, aged about 76 years.

The family came to Iowa in an early day and settled on a farm in Boone county, west of Ontario. There he grew to manhood and in 1880 was united in marriage to Sarah Chamness, who preceded him in death about two years ago.

Ten children were born to this union, 3 sons and 7 daughters. Five of them survive the parents. The surviving children are Clarence Young, Alice Hines and Virgie Eyanson of Nevada, Frone Stoops of Ames and Inez Samson of Homer, Illinois.

There are also 37 grand children and 11 great grand children.

One brother, William Young, lives at Blocton, Iowa, while sisters Millie Shaw of Gerrinng, Neb., Cynthia Gregory of Anthon, Iowa, and Mary Banks of Iowa Center, are still living.

Mr. Young with his family came to Nevada about 36 years ago and this had since been his home.

George Young was an industrious man, honest and upright in his dealings with mankind and had many friends.

He became a member of the Baptist church while living at Hopkins, Mo., in 1890 and has since been a member of that denomination.
