Young, who passed away on Monday, April 22nd, at his home in Toronto, in his 78th year. He had not been in good health for some time, having suffered from rheumatism and other infirmities which brought about his demise. he was born in Ramsay in 1834, son of the late Peter Young. He served his apprenticeship with the Cossitts in the woodworking department of their agricultural implement works at Smiths Falls. Later he had a door and sash factory in Carleton Place, and then came to Almonte, where he formed a partnership with Mr John Flett and established a foundry and machine shop where the Almonte Knitting Co's mill now stands. In 1870 he sold out his interests in the business, and during the next year he visited Scotland and spent some time with friends there. In 1871 he built the sawmill up at the island, which he ran for a short time and then sold to the Foley Bros. He was a member of the town council for several years and was one of the twelve men and true who were in office during the building of the town hall, Mr B. Rosamond being mayor. Of late years Mr and Mrs Young have had their home in Toronto, and from that centre went on pleasant jaunts to various points and so have seen quite a bit of the world. Some time was spent in California, a couple of winters in Cuba, and a leisurely trip through the Canadian west to the coast was taken. Almost fifty years ago – to be accurate, in August – Mr Young was married to Miss Christina Toshack, who survives him. There was no family. In the family of which Mr Young was a member there were four girls and seven boys. Of these Mrs Angus Sutherland, sr., and Mrs J. McFarlane, and Messrs Peter, John, Stephen, Robt and Andrew are living, and Mrs J. McCarter, Mrs H. Cavers and William are dead. The deceased was Presbyterian, and at the time of his death he was an elder in Cooke's church in Toronto. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and was attended by many friends. The pallbearers were Messrs J. Young, Claybank; W. Thoburn, M.P., A.M. Grieg, Jas Snedden, Adam Scott, and James Forgie. Interment was made in the eighth line cemetery.
