OBITUARY
Silas Young
At the ripe old age of
eighty-eight years, six months and nine
days, Mr. Silas Young, for
years one of the best known and most
prominent farmers of Knox county, passed
away at 10 o'clock Thursday evening at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. C.A. LaFever,
three miles south of the city.
Although he had patiently suffered for a
long time, the immediate cause of his death
was an attack of grip, which he contracted
in March.
Mr. Young was born in
Middlefield, Geauga county, Ohio, Oct. 19,
1821. In 1839 he came to Knox county,
and in 1848 was married to Miss Catherine
Davis, daughter of Mr. Jacob Davis, ten
children being born to them. Those
surviving are Mrs. C.A. LaFever of south of
this city, J.R. of Springfield, Ill., J.S.
of Tallula, Ill., Mrs. Walter Steele of San
Benito, Tex., C.R. of east of the city, and
Mrs. Walter Spittle of San Benito,
Tex. Mrs. Young died a few years ago,
and since her death Mr. Young had been
making his home with his daughter, Mrs.
LaFever, from whose residence the funeral
will be held at 2:30, Sunday afternoon.
Mr.Young's principal occupation
in life was farming. Shortly after his
marriage he rented a farm, where he lived
two years. Then he purchased a 66-acre
tract on the Wooster road, there making his
home until 1870. For the following two
years he rented a farm of 233 of the Lafever
heirs in Clinton township, and at the end of
that period the residence there burned and
Mr. Young moved to Mt. Vernon. After
another year had passed he purchased a farm
of 123 acres in Monroe township, where he
resided until the death of his wife.
The deceased was a man of strong
character and strict integrity. In his
ripe old age he retained his memory to the
last, and until the cold weather of the past
winter he made frequent trips to the
city. His memory will be revered by a
large circle of friends and acquaintances.
