Sudden Death of George R. Young
[Welland Tribune, 10 December 1897]
Death came with awful suddenness for George R. Young of Pelham Centre, early on Monday morning, Dec. 6. On Sunday he was in his place at the regular morning service at Bethany church, and in good health and spirits. That same evening he spent an hour or so in social chat at the residence of a neighbor. About midnight he was stricken down, living but an hour or two. Dr. Emmett was hastily called, and on seeing his serious condition, also summoned Dr. Birdsall, but to no avail. The doctors give apoplexy as cause of death. Mr. Young has been a resident of Pelham for nearly ten years. He was of a jovial, pleasant disposition, and made many friends. He was a son of Alexander Young, a well-known farmer of Wainfleet township, in which township George was raised. He has living a number of brothers and sisters, and is survived by his wife Stella, (a daughter of the late James Wiley of Gainsboro township,} and a child, a 13 years old daughter. Interment took place on Wednesday from the family residence to Evangelical church nearby, and then to Dawdy’s cemetery adjacent. The services were conducted by Revds. Sparling of Methodist church, Fenwick, and Grenzebach of Pelham Centre, and were very solemn. The church was filled to overflowing by friends from near and far, gathered to show their sympathy with the family and their respect for deceased, who had absolutely no enemies.
