J. P. Young Passed Away Monday

Candidate for County Supervisor Had a Heart Attack

J. [ames] P. [atton] Young, 62, of Coin, who only recently began his campaign for the office of county supervisor, died very suddenly Monday night at the home of Wm. S. Farquhar of College Springs.

Mr. Young, with Mrs. Young and C. S. Butchel, had gone to College Springs Saturday in behalf of Mr. Young's candidacy for the county office, and had stopped at the Farquhar home when Mr. Young had a severe attack of heart trouble. He and Mr. Farquhar had been talking within the home, the attack coming very suddenly, and it was feared that he had been critically stricken. But, on invitation of the Farquhars, Mr. and Mrs. Young had remained a couple of days and until he could recover sufficiently enough to go home. Plans had thus been made Monday that they should return to Coin on Tuesday.

As Mr. Young was preparing to retire, and was in a sitting position, he collapsed on the floor and was dead within a few minutes. The best of attention from his wife, hosts and doctor was given but of no avail.

While Mr. Young had not been very rugged in recent months, he had been active in management of the Coin Lumber Company, and had enjoyed getting out of doors for his campaign work. Realizing that his health had been impaired, the county board membership was one of his hopes for take him away from office duties which he had experienced for 39 years whiles he was in the merchandise business with his brother and then associated with Chas. Hart and Ed Rose in the lumber business.

With his passing, Coin loses one of its most loyal boosters, a businessman who was always found on the side which he felt would benefit his community. He had been a member of the Coin town council and school board.

He leaves his wife to mourn her loss, as well as a daughter, Jean, who is taking nurses training at Des Moines.
