George Wesley Young died at his home in this city at 1 o'clock on last Wednesday morning following a short illness. Mr. Young was apparently well just a few days ago, but took ill suddenly Monday and rapidly grew worse, the immediate cause of his death was cerebral hemorrhage causing paralysis of the respiratory muscles, which was followed by pneumonia. Upon his physician being called, it was found he was in a very bad way physically from severe complications and was not able to withstand any disease.
Deceased had been a resident of the county since 1884. He was born in the Province of Ontario, Glencary County, Canada June 26, 1863. The family moved to California while he was an infant and there he grew to manhood. He was married in 1889 in this city and is survived by his wife and six children: Clarence, William, Hazel, James, Joe, and George. He is also survived by his mother and one brother, who reside in Taylorsville, California.
The funeral will be held this afternoon. Interment being made in the Burns Cemetery. Two of his sons, William and James, were away at the time of his death, the former being in California and the latter in the O.A.C. at Corvallis. His daughter, Miss Hazel, was in Sacramento, California, but they all arrived home and will attend the funeral.
George Young was an energetic man and had been active in the affairs of this county ever since he was a young man. He was a candidate for the county assessor four years ago and again at the recent primary election, being defeated both times by John L. Caldwell. Mr. Young was an aggressive man and always ready to stand up for what he considered right. He was a member of the Harney County Pioneer Association and was its secretary at the time of his death.
His bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of the pioneer people of this county, where they are well-known.
*He was born in Charlottenburg Township, Glengarry County (not Glencary County). He also fathered two children that died in infancy - burial place(s) unknown.
