The Grave.
George Young, old Dad, sleeps in yonder grave yard. His sands of life ran out on Monday evening and his remains were placed yesterday afternoon beside her whom, above all others, he loved the best while here on earth. Mrs. Young died on Sept. 9th, 1898, and the old man joined her in heaven within the year. The funeral took place from the Mormon church, Bishop Soulsby, Martin McPhie and W.B. Rae conducting the services. The pall bearers were:--W.B. Rae, James Crookston, Alex Beveridge, Martin McPhie Joseph Soulsby and John Caine. The deceased was born in Scotland and was 74 years of age. He came to his adopted country eleven years ago. He was the head of a family of fourteen children. Surviving him are:--Adam Young in Colorado; Mrs. John Pryde in Colorado; Mrs. Kesner in Montana; George Young in the state of Washington; Mrs. Mary Scott in England; Mr. John Young on a mission in Scotland and Mrs. Abrahams, Mrs. Henry Palmer, Mrs. Robert Pryde, Miss Lizzie Young and Lauchie Young, all in Rock Springs. Two are dead, Wm. Young and Mrs. Armstrong. He led a useful life; struggled hard to raise his large family who are an honor to him and now his work is o'er and he sleeps. The good he has done will live after him and his memory be forever cherished.

GEORGE YOUNG
A Tribute for the Dead--a Word for the Living
Rock Springs MINER.
Mr. Editor:--
Please give me space in your excellent paper.
I saw in your last issue a notice of the demise and funeral of George Young. I have known the old gentleman for years. Paul, the apostle of old said, "I would rather speak ten words in mine own tongue than ten thousand in an unknown tongue." I, Mr. Editor, would rather speak ten thousand good words in favor of my fellow creatures, then ten bad ones against them.
George Young was born in "Bonny Scotland"; was quiet, calm and unassuming He has been a man among men. He and his well-beloved, have filled the measure of their creation very highly and praiseworthily. Their posterity are numerous, and the old man's name will be perpetuated on the earth forever. I am acquainted with three daughters and three sons of George, but more especially Maggie Blythe, (now Mrs. Kay) and John B. Young. I tell you, Mr. Editor, John E. Young, and Mrs. Maggie Kay are a noble son and daughter of "Bonny Scotland," and they well deserve the appreciation of this thriving community.
I love a good and kindly disposed and intellectual person, Mr. Editor, and I have found these good qualities in John E. and his sister, Mrs. Kay. John E. Young is exemplary and a very intelligent gentleman, and Maggie, his worth sister, and they will yet become the crowning glory of their honored parents.
May God abundantly bless the whole family of the late old George Young.
