Mrs Bettie Young Dies at Age of 96
The last sleep came gently to Mrs Bettie Young, 801 East Jefferson Street, Sunday evening at 9:15. It was a welcome oblivion, for her tired little body had weathered the sea of life for 96 years, 2 months, and 3 days. But to her last morning in life, she was smiling and gay, brave as she had been through life.
Elizabeth Guinn was born October 15, 1836, in Lincoln County. She was one of fourteen children. When sixteen years old, she moved with her parents to a small farm near Leesville. The ground was cleared, a log cabin built. The young Elizabeth grew to girlhood with much charm. There were no educational advantages in the way of fine schools and colleges, but the clean, and wholesome education that nature could give, the beauty instilled into her heart that remained through all the years of her life.
She was well qualified to become the wife of a good man, William Young, in 1860. Theirs was a life complete with contentment, work, and blessed with children. Mr Young had taken his bride to a cleared forty acre farm, in the Leesville community. There were nine children to be fed, clothed and sent to school, so it was the small mothers duty to see that they had these. There was cotton to be raised and cared for in the field. Mrs Young swung the swingle, that knocked the flax into fineness, then run the flax through the hackle and combed it. All the linens, sheets, etc, were made by her hands, and to nature she turned again for bright bits of color to dye the materials. The home was a hallowed place, governed by the indomitable spirit of the mother love.
During the Civil War, Mr Young served his country and his bride worked and waited and came through the distressing period undaunted.
About twenty-six years ago, Mr and Mrs Young moved to 117 West Tebo Street, where Mr Young passed away ten years ago. The children are grown, married, and away, most of them. Seven live, and it has been the custom for Mrs Young to have a birthday gathering each year. One widowed daughter, Mrs Rachel Hammond, has been a tender attendant of her mother, for four years, never leaving her, ministering to her every want.
Brief funeral services were conducted at the home Wednesday afternoon, then the body was taken to Tebo church, where she had often gone to worship the One who had guided her in the straight path so long. Interment was in the cemetery nearby.
Deceased leaves about one hundred eighty-three living descendants, which include the seven children, eighty-five grandchildren, seventy-five great-grandchildren, and sixteen great-great-grandchildren. The children are: Mesdames Sarah Jane Reynolds, Susie Pierce, and Rachel Hammond, Clinton; Mrs Anna Martin, Colchester, Illinois; John Young, Los Angeles, California; Mrs Ida Adkins, Plattsmouth, Nebraska; Mrs Nora McDaniel, Kansas City.
