"DEATH OF A PIONEER.
Mrs. William J. Young , wife of Judge Young, died at their home north of Potter at 4 this morning, after a two hours' illness, aged 77 years. Mrs. Young had not been well for some time, but was able to be up and around every day. She had trouble in getting her breath when she lay down and frequently got up in the night to sit in a chair. Her husband heard her moaning at two o'clock this morning, got up and found her in the chair in a speechless condition. He awakened the rest of the family, and though everything was done that could be done, she passed away two hours later, without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Young had married twice. Left a widow with one child at her home in Andrew county, MO, she came to Kansas in November, 1854, taking up the claim which was her home to the day of her death. William J. Young, who had been her old neighbor in Andrew county, had arrived the previous June, and had taken up the claim which hers adjoined. He was a widower with five children, and in May, 1855, there was a union of the two families by a marriage of their heads, and the groom moved with his five children to the claim of his bride. There were six children in the family, and eight more arrived in rapid succession, and all were raised to manhood and womanhood, and though it was a case of his children, her children, and their children, it was a most harmonious family.
Mrs. Young made the first pie made in Atchison county. It was made of sheep sorrel [buckwheat family]. She had the first peaches grown in the county. This was in 1859, and in 1860, she had such a big crop that people drove down from Atchison to see the rare sight. She is survived by her husband, aged 90, and by nine children, and a great many grandchildren and great- grandchildren. Three of her children live in Atchison county: Mrs. Abe Ashcraft, Sam Young, and Will Young, who lives on the old homestead. She was a woman of remarkable memory, and an alert brain, and possessed many admirable qualities. The funeral will be held from the home on Friday afternoon at one o'clock, the Rev. W. T. Hilton of Atchison officiating. Interment will be made in a private burial ground on the home place."
