From Vernal Express (Vernal, Utah) - Thursday, April 18, 1929:
Mrs. Susie Colton Young of Myton, a native of Ashley Valley, passed away at the home of her father, Adelbert Colton, at nine o'clock Friday, April 12th. She has been in poor health for several months. Three times during the year she had an attack of the flu, which seriously impaired her heart. To make matters worse her teeth became infected necessitating their being extracted. Theses illnesses were followed by pneumonia. After being treated at Myton near her home she was brought to Vernal last Tuesday, but in spite of aid given her she grew gradually worse until the end came.
Very impressive services were held in the First Ward chapel at 1 p.m. Monday under the direction of Bishop James H Wallis. The speakers recalled recollections of Susie as a school girl and the impressions of cheerfulness she left among her associates. The interment was made at the Maeser cemetery. [More about the funeral is in the newspaper article.]
