Obituary -- William Youngker, son of David and A. Youngker, was born in Stark county, Ohio, and died in Henry county, O., July 20th, 1886, aged 40 years, 6 months and 15 days.

In the year 1851 his parents moved from Stark county to Seneca county, Ohio. After a few years residence there, they moved to Henry county, Ohio, where they have since resided. Some fifteen years since the subject of this obituary notice was married to Charity I. Bishop; they were blessed with seven children, two of them have already passed to the Spirit world. By his death his wife has lost a kind and loving husband, the children a fond and doating parent, and the community and excellent citizen -- one who will be greatly missed. The large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors that attended at his funeral, attests the high estimation he was held by the community in which he resided. In early life he became a subject of saving grace and united with the United Brethren church; he was ever afterwards a zealous faithful christian. "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace."

Farewell William, thou has left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'twas Heaven that has bereft us,
Who can all our sorrows heal."
