He suffered a stroke of paralysis about 3 years ago and had been confined to his home since. Funeral services were held today at the Christian church conducted by Rev. G. G. Horne, the pastor. Burial was in Rossville cemetery. Mr. Young was a native of Walchville, Montgomery Co., Illinois, where he was born Jan. 27, 1857. On the date of his death he was 72 years and 23 days old. He was married to Martha J. Kerr at New Douglas, Illinois, Feb. 14, 1878 and in the fall of the same year came to Kansas locating at Rossville.

The family left the place in 1892 and moved into town and had resided here since. Mr. Young had been a member of Hesperian Lodge since 1886. At various times he had served as marshal of Rossville.

  Father	Joseph G Young,   b. 22 Aug 1827, Vermont ,   d. 29 Oct 1903, Rossville, Shawnee County, Kansas  (Age 76 years)
  Notes	Could not determine who Joseph's first wife was. A Joseph Young married Elizabeth Pickett on 4 Jun 1856 in Illinois; a Joseph Young married Mary Elliott on 28 May 1856 in Illinois. It is possible one of these two women was the mother of Oscar and Caroline. However, in the 1860 census, Joseph is listed with his two children and Hannah Young (age 24). I believe Hannah was Oscar's sister (possibly she was then married to Charley H. Berry; Hannah H. Berry 22 Dec 1835 born in Vermont - died 27 Jun 1869 in Edgerton, Johnson County, Kansas).
