Obituary: A Remarkable Man Death of Hezekiah Young, Brother of Our Fellow Townsman, Levi Young Hezekiah Young, a half brother of our fellow townsman, Mr. Levi Young, died at hls home in Dayton last Thursday and was buried Saturday last. The deceased was a most remarkable man. He was 94 years of age at the lime of his death, and had been a resident of Montgomery county most o( his life, except a few years when he was in the California gold fields In early days and accumulated considerable wealth. He was the second oldest man In Dayton and was known all over that country as one of Its foremost citizens. Strange to say, Mr. Young had his back broken some fifty years ago, yet he maintained a straight stature, and continued healthy and vigorous. A cut of the deceased which appeared In the Dayton Dally News, bears a strong resemblance to Mr. Jim Young of Deshler. The friends of the deceased living here In our midst have our sympathy.
