"Harry L. Young was born in Sharmon, Iowa, February 15, 1872, and died April 8, 1932 at Walnut Grove, Missoui.
He with his family moved to Shelbyville, Indiana when 18 months old, living there one year. He then moved to Kokoma, Indiana where he lived until his father's death. Then Harry was only three years old; the mother with her children came to Missouri where they lived in and around St. Joseph.
When he was about 17 years old he and his brother Elsworth came to Oklahoma before the country was settled. They stayed and worked about six years, then returned to Joplin, Missouri and lived with the rest of the family about 15 years, working mostly in mines. In 1913, he and his mother moved near Ringwood, Oklahoma. In 1916, he moved to a farm 9 miles south of Freedom where he lived for several years.
In 1924, he was married to Mrs. Leona Murphy of Anderson, Missouri. No children were born to this union.
Seven years ago he bought a farm 1/4 mile north of Freedom where he built and prepared a home.
He had been in poor health for many years. In 1929 he was taken to Alva hospital to undergo an operation for head trouble. He seemed to get no better in health. He accepted Christ while at the hospital and lived faithful and true until death.
On November 4, 1931 he went with his wife to Walnut Grove, Missouri to help care for her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Brady, who were very feeble. He spent the winter enjoyable and seemed to be gaining health until Mrs. Brady passed away April 6. Harry seemed to give up and death's shadow came over him 8:00 o'clock April 8.
His body was brought from Walnut Grove by Brim & Son, Undertakers, and was accompanied by the wife and Mrs. Brim.
He leaves to mourn his death, his wife, Leona Young; his mother, N.A. Young; one sister, Mrs. Chas Miller; three brothers, John Young of Ringwood, Oklahoma, Elsworth and Walter Young of Freedom.
