Obituary - Sister Fanny Young, who died in G.S.L. City, June 11, 1859, aged 71 years, 7 months and 3 days, was born in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, on the 8th of November 1787. She lived in her native town until the winter of 1801, when she removed with her parents, John and Nabby Young, to Whitingham, Vermont, where she remained till the winter of 1804, and moved thence to Sherburne, Chenango co., N.Y., where she resided nine years, and from there went to Cayuga co., in which she resided about seven years.
In 1832 she received the gospel, and moved to Ohio in the fall of 1833. From that date to the day of her death she has been with the body of the church, and arrived in G.S.L. City in the fall of 1850.
Sister Young was naturally of a devotional turn of mind, and from the beginning of her career in the gospel, as revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith, her life and example gave abundant proof of her enduring and unshaken faith, in the full enjoyment of which she cheerfully met that power termed "King of Terrors," and her happy spirit now rejoiced with the Saints in Paradise, where she fully realized the words of the poet, in a favorite verse which she often repeated:
"Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear
Invade they bounds; no mortal woes
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
And angels guard her soft repose."
