By Mrs. E. J. Watkins

YOUNG.—Elvira Ann Jackson Young was born in Macoupin County, Illinois, Dec. 18, 1829, and died at the home of her son in Elk City, Okla., April 2, 1914. When the deceased was a child of thirteen years, her parents moved to Texas, settling in Waxahachie. She was married to Judge Harvey W. Young in 1852. Their two children are left to mourn; also one sister, and many other relatives and friends. Sister Young united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church about thirty-five years ago, and remained faithful to this profession until called by death. The funeral service was conducted by Pastor Matthews of the Presbyterian Church.
