Obit. – Mr Wm Young
On Monday of last week a simple operation for the removal of a small growth, but this was followed by other complications which reduced his strength so that on Friday alarm was caused by his condition, and though efforts were made to stimulate his vitality he never rallied and passed away on Friday afternoon. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Peter Young, of Ramsay and was born in Glasgow, coming to Canada with his parents in 1832 when about a year and a half of age. They settled on the farm afterwards owned by Mr I. Nontell on the tenth line, known as the Shepherd farm and a year of two later moved to the farm on the seventh line which became the homestead. In 1861 Mr Wm Young was married to Maggie Sutherland, who died the following year, leaving an infant daughter who is now Mrs Wm Cavers, living near Arnprior. A few years later he was married to Agnes Nicholson, who died in 1868, of her children, Peter E., of Sault Ste Marie, being the only one alive, another having died when young. During these years Mr Young had lived on a farm on the sixth line of Pakenham township, but he sold this and removed to Almonte about 1870, where he joined his brother, Alex. E., in the erection of the sawmill which was afterward operated by the Foleys and later by the Caldwells. In 1875 he entered partnership with his brothers, Robt. and Andrew, in the foundry and machine business started in the old tannery building on Water street, and in 1866 he withdrew and since then lived a retired life. In 1874 he married Mary Clint, who survives him, and to them one daughter, Mrs A. M. Sutherland, of Langton, was born. Mr Young's death is the first break in a family of eleven brothers and sisters. Those left are Mrs John McCarter, town; Alex. E., of Toronto; Mrs A. Sutherland and Mrs H. Cavers, Ramsay; Peter, John, Steen, Robt. and Andrew and Mrs John McFarlane, Almonte. The late Mr Young was a man of quiet disposition and was never in the public eye, but he filled his place in life, consistently and cheerfully He was a member of St Andrew's church and was a staunch Liberal.
