Mrs. Levi Young Passes Away
After eight years of most patient suffering, Mrs. Levi [Mellissa] YOUNG died at her home on west Eighth street this morning. Every community has those afflicted, but perhaps no one in this city has endured with greater resignation than Mrs. Young who for 12 years has been afflicted with creeping paralysis. For eight years she has been unable to move from her bed, except when assisted to her chair, where she spent the greater portion of that time. Her friends and neighbors have marveled at her cheerfulness and although compelled to suffer with intense pain at times, she never failed to have a pleasant word for everyone who called.
The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon, at 1:30 o'clock at the Methodist church.
