Mrs. Young Passes Away
It is the sad duty of the MINER to announce the death, on last Friday morning of Mrs. Catherine Black Young, the beloved wife of Mr. Young of this city. Previous to her demise she was ill a long time, and, although, all knew her end was near, yet the stern reality of death's presence was very hard to bear by the large circle of near relatives.
The funeral took place from the Mormon church last Sunday at two o'clock in the afternoon, Bishop Soulsby and Mr. W.W. Rae officiating. Appropriate hymns were sung by the choir. Many and beautiful were the floral offerings. The funeral cortege was very large, a long line of carriages conveying the mourners to the cemetery.
The deceased was born in the Isle of Muil, Scotland, and was 57 years of age. She crossed the big pond ten years ago and was a resident of Rock Springs for the past seven years. She was the mother of 14 children, 12 of whom she raised to manhood and woman hood. Surviving her are her husband, 73 years of age, eight daughters—Mrs. Scott, who lives in Scotland; Mrs. John Pryde, Colorado; Mrs. Ed. Kessner, Belt, Montana; Mrs. Robert Pryde, Mrs. John Abrahams, Mrs. Henry Palmer, Mrs. James Kay and Miss Lizzie Young, Rock Springs and Mr. Adam Young, Colorado, George Young, Belt, Montana and John and Laughlan Young, of Rock Springs.
She was a kind hearted and careful mother and by her wise counsel and Christian example reared an exemplary family. The world was better because she lived and her kind deeds will stand a monument to her noble life for generations.
The bereaved husband, daughters, sons and all the near relations have the sympathy of this community.
