?b?Sudden Death?/b?
The friends and relatives of Mrs Stephen Young, of Youngville, were shocked on Friday last to learn that she had died somewhat suddenly at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr J. McLean, Montreal. Mrs Young had been in poor health for a year of two, but her end came rather suddenly at the last. About three weeks ago she went on a visit to Montreal, where she had two married daughters. Miss Young was also with her mother when she died. The family have been sorely afflicted during the past few years, this being the sixth death within the past fourteen years. Through all these sorrows the late Mrs Young was never heard to murmur or complain, but with quiet and Christian resignation accepted them as come from her Heavenly Father, who doeth all things well. The end found her fully prepared and resigned to the will of God. The body reached here on Saturday evening, accompanied by Mr and Mrs McLean and Miss Young. The funeral on Monday last was a very large one, testifying to the high esteem in which the deceased and her family were held.

Family/Spouse: Stephen Young. Stephen was born in 1818 in Scotland; died on 7 Sep 1875 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 9 Sep 1875 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Another Sudden Call
It is seldom that we are called upon to chronicle so many sudden deaths and in some cases quite unexpected deaths as have fallen to our lot in the few weeks that have just past. And it now becomes our sad duty to make a short death-notice of still another, whose name has just been added to the long list of our lamented dead. Mr Stephen S. Young, of Youngville, Ramsay, son to the late Stephen Young, Esq., who died so suddenly last fall, was taken ill of scarlet fever on Friday last, and, notwithstanding that every effort which are and forethought could suggest was put forth for the preservation of his life, kept growing gradually worse till Wednesday evening, when death stopped in and put an end to his sufferings at about half-past eight o'clock. The deceased was a comparatively young man - only 27 yrs. of age - but, by his genial disposition and gentlemanly deportment, had drawn to his side many warm friends and admirers, by all of whom he will be greatly missed and his untimely demise deeply lamented. We desire to tender to the again bereaved mother and sorrowing brothers and sisters our warmest sympathy in this their most trying situation. The funeral takes place from his mother's residence today (Friday) at the hour of 10 o'clock.

Obit. ? Robert Young
In the passing away of Mr Robert Young of "Otter Glen," Ramsay, the community has sustained a distinct loss. Mr Young had been in declining health from paralytic trouble for about a year, the last few months of which he was confined to the house and finally to bed, but though it all there was neither murmur nor complaining. The end came on Saturday not unexpectedly, but with the shock and sorrow which accompany such occurrences. The late Mr Young was a son of Mr Stephen Young and the second in a family of eleven ? Stephen, S., Robert, James, Andrew, Annie (Mrs Ford), Janet (Mrs McLean), Christena, Maggie, Mary, Lizzie and Kate ? all of whom have passed away except Misses Lizzie and Kate, who have their home at "Otter Glen." The deceased was married just seventeen years ago to Miss Annie McKay of Montreal, who is still living. He followed farming, except for a few years when he conducted a woolen mill which had been erected on a stream passing through the property. He was a member of the Blakeney Presbyterian church, and an elder for a number of years. He was possessed of a great love for music and one of the pleasures of his life was his work as leader of the church choir ? work to which he lent himself with that earnestness and zeal which characterized his discharge of every responsibility which rested upon him. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was attended by a very large number of those who desired to show this tribute of respect to his memory, among them being several members of the A.O.U.W., which order the deceased was identified. The service was conducted by Rev Mr Macleod of Blakeney, who spoke in terms of warmest appreciation of the late Mr Young. The pallbearers were Messrs Jas McDougall, Alex D. Snedden, J. Merilees, R. Philip, J. Arthur, and W. Thoburn, M.P. The late Mr Young was a man of kindly geniality, of sterling worth and with a large heartedness such as does not characterize very many men.

Family/Spouse: Agnes Ann "Annie" Mackay. Agnes was born on 2 May 1858 in Montreal, Montreal Region, Quebec, Canada; died on 1 Jan 1923 in Blakeney, Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 3 Jan 1923 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

The Late Andrew Young
We regret to have to announce the death of Mr Andrew Young, youngest son of the late Stephen Young, of the ninth line of Ramsay, at the comparatively early age of 33. The late Mr Young was cut down in the midst of a life of success and usefulness. The earlier years of life of the deceased were passed on the family homestead. He afterwards attended for a year or two the Almonte high school, from which he matriculated into the Science and Engineering Department of McGill University. After a year or two of study in that institution Mr Young was graduated with the degree of B.Sc., and almost immediately obtained a good position as mining engineer and assayist in Montana. For the past three years he had been in failing health, and spent part of the year 1894 in Montana in search of health, but it was all in vain. Death had marked him for his own, and he passed away on Tuesday last. Mr Young was of a very quiet and unobtrusive disposition, but was popular with those who knew him and could not fail to value him for his many good qualities of head and heart. We join a large circle of friends and acquaintances in tendering our sincere sympathy to the relatives of the deceased, who have been sorely afflicted, this being the eighth death in the family within a period of less than twenty years, and the third within a period of four years. The funeral will take place today (Thursday) from the residence of Mr Robt Young to the 8th line cemetery.
