1894, Friday September 14, The Almonte Gazette front page
Another Old Resident Gone
On Friday afternoon Mr Henry S. Young, of the 8th concession of Ramsay, died somewhat suddenly, after a brief illness of only three days, aged 71 years. The parents of deceased came to this country in 1823, and the subject of our notice was born at sea on the voyage across. The family settled below Appleton, but Mr Young the elder did not live a great while, and Henry went out to Perth and served his apprenticeship to a blacksmith. He afterwards came to Carleton Place and conducted a shop for a time, and then bought the farm on the 8th concession where he died. He was twice married, his first wife being Rachael Dougherty, by whom he had seven sons, all of whom are living. She died in 1864,and some time later he married Henrietta Price, who survives him, and by this union there was one son and two daughters. The sons are John, William, Abraham, Hiram, Elijah, Wesley, Edgerton and Edwin, six of whom are residing in Michigan, Dakota and New York States, only two ? Wesley and Edwin ? being at home. The daughters are Mrs J. Klemn, of Whiting, Ind., and Miss Louisa, who is at home, Mr Young was possessed of a robust constitution, but for some time had been troubled with hernia, which was the cause of death. In religion he was a Methodist, and died trusting in the Lord. In politics a Conservative. He never pushed himself forward, and always lived a quiet life with his family. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon to the English cemetery on the 8th line, and the very large attendance testified in a measure to the esteem in which deceased was held. The bereaved wife and family have the full sympathy of a large circle of friends in their sorrow. The pallbearers were John Baird, Jos Yuill, Thos McNeely, Geo Drynan, Jas Coleman and Ab Morphy.
