Andrew Young Dies Suddenly On Sunday Evg.
Prominent Resident of Almonte Was In His Seventy Fifth Year
With His Brother Robert Was Founder of Mississippi Iron Works Which Became Flourishing Business Under Their Care.
Mr. Andrew Young, for many years a leading citizen and businessman of Almonte, died very suddenly at he family residence on Church street on Sunday evening. He was in his 75th year. He had a paralytic stroke on Sunday forenoon from which he never rallied. With his death Almonte loses one of its best known and most respected residents. Although he had not been in robust health for some years Mr. Young's sudden illness and death came at a great surprise and shock to his many friends. He had a long and successful business career in conjunction with his brother, Robert who is now a resident of Ottawa. Together they established a foundry and machine shop business in Almonte which became widely known as the Mississippi Iron Works. They employed a large staff and built up a flourishing industry. In particular they catered to the farm trade, and their ploughs and other agricultural implements were noted for their excellence. A number of years ago they retired from business, and the Mississippi Iron Works was taken over by Mr. A.K. McLean, a son-in-law of Mr. Robert Young. The late Mr. Young took an active interest in municipal affairs and or several years was a member of the town council. He was a Presbyterian in religion and deeply interested in the affairs of his church. He was a good sportsman, and in particular was fond of curling. He was a director and past president of the Almonte Rink Company. For many years he was chosen on the rinks representing Almonte at the bonspiels and will be remembered by the older curlers of the Ottawa Valley. The rink of the Young Brothers was a great organization in its day, an was known far and wide. Mr. Young was the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs Peter Young and was born at Bennies Corners. There was a family eleven children, seven sons and four daughters, only two of whom now survive, his sister, Mrs John MacFarlane, of Almonte, and his brother Robert, of Ottawa. In 1882 he was married to Miss Alice June Glover, daughter of the late Mr and Mrs John Glover, of Bennies Corners and Almonte. The marriage took place at the bride's home in Almonte and the officiating minister was the late Rev. J.H. Edmondson. To this union was born three sons and one daughter, Russell, of Philadelphia; Morton, who died in 1911; Etta, Mrs E.H. Knight, of Ottawa, and Vincent, of Toronto. The untimely death of his son Morton, who was a very promising student at Toronto University, when he passed away in his 21st year, was a severe blow. The funeral was held on Wednesday from the family residence to the Auld Kirk Cemetery and was largely attended. Rev Mr. Moore conducted the service. The pallbearers were Messrs. M.R. Young, Dr. W.C. Young, Peter McCallum, M.R. McFarlane, A.C. Wylie and John Neilson. Amongst those from out of town at the funeral were Mr. Robert Young, of Ottawa; Mr and Mrs Russell Young of Philadelphia, Mr Vincent Young, of Toronto; Mr and Mrs E.H. Knight, of Ottawa; Dr. and Mrs O.C. Spratt and Mrs W.T. Urquhart, of Ottawa; Mrs Robert Baird of Carleton Place; and many other old friends from Smiths Falls and Carleton Place.

Andrew married Alice Jane Glover in 1883 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Alice (daughter of John Glover and Elizabeth Jenkinson) was born in 1860 in Almonte, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 23 Sep 1940 in Ottawa, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Obit. ? Morton Young
Much anxiety was caused by word received on Friday last by Mr Andrew Young stating that his son Morton, was ill at Toronto, where he was attending the School of Practical Science. Mr and Mrs Young at once left for the city, and when they reached there found that an operation had been performed by Dr Starr for appendicitis and that there was other serious affections of the bowels which rendered recovery somewhat uncertain. Every care and attention were given but dreaded complications developed and on Wednesday morning the disease had done its work, and death came.

Though not unexpected here, the sad word came as a severe shock, not only to the relatives but to many others who appreciated the worth of the young man just entering the portals of real life, and with the ability, energy and stability to make that life a success. Mr and Mrs Young returned home on Thursday morning, bringing the remains with them and the funeral will take place from the home on Church street to the eighth line cemetery on Friday afternoon at half-past two o'clock. Andrew Morton Young was the second son of Mr and Mrs Andrew Young, and was twenty years of age. He was a young man possessed of a mechanical mind far beyond the average, and it was natural that after graduation from high school here he should turn his attention to work of that character. He spent some time in the foundry here, then in the Canada General Electric Works at Peterboro, and at the time of his death he was taking a course of study at the School of Practical Science at Toronto. Mr Russell Young, a brother of the deceased, is at Vancouver, B.C., and Miss Etta and Master Vincent are at home. Much sympathy is felt for Mr and Mrs Young and the family in the deep shade of sorrow that has so suddenly overspread their home.
