As the wheels of time revolve, we find as the mist clears away that the great reaper has again visited the world and called away another familiar face, that of Mrs. Violet Young of Columbus, O., quite well known in Deshler.
Violet Beatrice Young (nee Brown), daughter of Edward and Flora Brown, was born on September 5, 1895 and departed this life at Columbus, O., April 2, 1931, at the age of 35 years, 6 months and 27 days. She was born at Deshler and spent her early life in this community where she was well-known. She was converted when only a child in the United Brethren Church, to which she was a very faithful attendant. The church being the first in her life and service, she was also a very faithful worker in the Christian Endeavor. To these she was faithful while residing in Deshler.
On November 8, 1913, at Monroe, Michigan, she was united in marriage to Mr. Wilbur Young, also of Deshler. Three children were born, who are as follows: Paul, Victory and Robert.
Mrs. Young had been a great sufferer for the past few months, and at the tolling of the gong, the curtain closed on the life of a young mother and loved one. She passed away at the hospital in Columbus.
Her husband passed away a little over a year ago. She leaves to mourn their loss the above mentioned sons, Paul, Victory and Robert, also two brothers, one sister, one aunt and four uncles besides a host of other relatives and good friends. Her parents have passed to the other shore to await her coming. To say that her cheery face will be missed is only placing it lightly, but our loss is her gain.
The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Deshler U. B. Church, Rev. P. W. Lutz officiating. Burial was made in Woodlawn cemetery.
