ALFRED YOUNG
[Welland Tribune, 14 May 1897]
Alfred Young of the township of Crowland died at Niagara Falls, Ont., May 10th inst., in the 58th year of his age. He was taken with a severe attack of lagrippe about two months ago, and did not recover from it. He went to visit his second son at Niagara Falls about three weeks ago, and became seriously ill last week, and although Dr. McGarry did all in his power he sank daily until Monday evening, when he passed over to the silent majority. He was born in the township of Crowland, and had always resided there. He was a man of sterling character; a member of the U.B. church in religion, and in politics a Conservative.
He leaves a widow-only daughter of Thomas Griffiths of Crowland-and three sons, to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father.
The funeral took place yesterday, (Thursday) from his late residence, Crowland; interment at Doan’s Ridge cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. I.W. Grob of Sherkston.
