"Mrs. Amelia de Young, tbe mother of the proprietor of the San Francisco Chronicle, died in that city Thursday afternoon. She was a native of Bordeaux, France, and aged 72 years. The killing of her son Charles charged her from a woman of great spirit and buoyancy to a woman of taciturnity and depression. The immediate cause of her death was congestion of the brain." (L.A. Herald, 5/22/1881)

Amelia de Young was born in France about 1809. According to N.Y. Marriage Newspaper Extracts (1801-1880), she married Michael Deyonng (or De Young) August 9, 1827. At the time of their marriage, Mr. De Young was approximately 50 years of age and his new bride, Amelia, was 18 years old. They would have eight children, five girls and three boys. Amelia arrived in California with her three boys, Michael, Charles and Gustavus in the 1860's (perhaps her girls had married by then). Amelia's elderly husband died in Louisiana in 1854. Amelia's sons went on to create what became the San Francisco Chronicle, an enormous journalistic success. Charles De Young was shot and killed in 1880. Her son Gustavus was committed to an asylum with what was described as dementia. Her son Michael De Young ran the family newspaper successfully until his death in 1925. After her son Charles' death in 1880, Amelia suffered great depression and died within a year.
