Mr. James Young,
On the afternoon of the 28th of March the sweet spirit of
Uncle Jim Young winged its way to the God who gave it. He was one of the
oldest citizens of Polk County, representing the last of the old Southern
type. His life was filled with kindly deeds rather than many words, he acted
rather than spoke. Would you know the secret of this good man's eminently
useful life? It was that he refrained his tongue from evil, and his lips
that they spoke no guile. The things that are honorable true, just, pure,
lovely and of good report, where the things upon which he thought. While he
knew the past and loved to go back there in memory, he maintained a lively
interest in the events of today. He took keen interest in political and war
news. He "wore the white flower of a stainless life and reverenced his
conscience as his King." All Cedartown, while it mourns his passing, yet
holds proudly high his gracious memory. To his family he was a tower of
strength and a beacon of light whose mellowed beams will continue to beckon
them on to the pearly portals where this and every sorrow will be healed by
the hand that shall bestow "Beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,
and the garments of paradise for the spirit of heaviness. (Cedartown

Mr. and Mrs. W. B Houseal of Birmingham;
Miss Elizabeth Young, who is teaching in the State Normal School at Athens;
Miss Augusta Young, who is teaching at Watkinsville; Miss Sara Young, who is
teaching at College Park; and Miss Eleanor Houseal, who is attending school
at Montevallo, Ala, were called home last week by the death of their
grandfather, Mr. Jas. Young of Youngs. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, April

Mr. E. D. Turner was called home from Oklahoma last Thursday by the
death of her grandfather, Mr. James Young. (Cedartown Standard, April 4,
1918)
At 3 o'clock last Thursday after the funeral of Mr. Jas. Young was
held at his home at Youngs, and his remains were laid to rest in the family
burial ground on his plantation. The funeral was conducted by D. C. K.
Henderson and was one of the largest ever held in this vicinity, people
coming to attend it from all sections of the county, for Mr. Young was one
of Polk's oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. Mr. Young was born in
DeKalb County in 1832. His mother's maiden name was Pounds, and his father
was Augustine Young, son of Robert Young of Hall County. His parents came to
this county in 1835 and he lived and died on the same place that his father
settled eighty-three years ago. His great-grandfather, Robert Young, married
Diana Tucker of Portsmouth, Va., who lived to be a hundred and eight years
old, as did four other of his ancestors who are buried in the old family
cemetery in Hall County. It is a rather strange coincidence that his father
and mother were buried on the same day. His three brothers and three sisters
have all preceded him. In 18?6 Mr. Young was united in marriage with Miss
Emeline, daughter of Jess and A. E. Ammons, of this county, who passed away
several years ago. He is survived by four daughters, Mesdames Kate
Hightower, J. E. Houseal, F. A. Irwin and J. H. Hawkins, and two sons,
Messrs. A. E. and J. S. Young. There are also thirty-two grandchildren and
seven great-grandchildren. Mr. Young was one of Polk's largest landowners
and most successful farmers. His eighty-six years of life have seen vast
changes in the state and nation as well as his home and county, and up to
the last he maintained his eager interest in the world's history and
progress. He was a man of fine judgment and great force of character, and
was one of the leaders in public matters in the county until overtaken by
the natural infirmities of age. A man of great kindness of heart as well as
abundant means, no worthy appeal for help ever went unaided, and his
devotion to his family was remarked by all who knew him. While the weight of
years made the end inevitable, his passing away brings a feeling of sadness
to his multitude of friend. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, April 4, 1918)
