Young, [breathed] her last after a lingering and painful illness, covering a period of eighteen months or more. Miss Deborah was a most cultured young lady, having finished her education in Virginia and had the sweetest of disposition, that attracted to her the truest of friends. Miss Young was a member of the Methodist church and though illness prevented her from doing active work, she was most consistent. At 4 o'clock services were held at the Methodist church. Rev. R.H. Wynn conducting them, assisted by Rev. S.S. Keener. The choir rendered the beautiful song-Miss Deborah's favorites-"Jesus Lover of My Soul," and "Rock of Ages." Mr. R.M. Chastain sang "Sweet Peace, the Gift of God's Love." The services were concluded at the grave, the mound being covered with the most beautiful of floral offerings. The pall bearers were: Messrs. C.H. McHenry, B.B. Handy, Adlai Gladden, L.C. Newton, B. Dawkins, Armond McHenry. Besides her bereaved parents there are left to mourn her death three sisters, Miss Ione Young, Nina Young and Mrs. Lisle; one brother, Mr. Alex Young. The Monroe News-Star Friday, July 29, 1910 Page 5, Column 3 It is not often given to mortals to get a "glimpse within the veil." We seem to be so overwhelmed with things material that we neglect the contemplation and experience of "the presence of God" and almost forget that there is such a thing as an immortal soul or place for its eternal habitation. But there have been enacted in our midst recently scenes that should make an indelible impression upon every heart in our community, be he churchman or not, for they but remind us that each one shall one day have to "cross the bar." On the twenty-second day of this month, as the quiet evening shades were beginning to gather, the gentle, pure spirit of Deborah Mary Young was borne home by the angels who had been lingering for so many days around her couch. Though scourged by racking pain, she exhibited throughout her long illness, the sweetest resignation and courage which were the marvel of all who came within the sound of her voice. She told the secret of her patient endurance and triumphant joy when she said she was able to suffer uncomplainingly because her Lord had suffered even more for her sake. She asked her pastor one day, "Don't you see the angels on the stairs and don't you hear the music?" For days her spirit seemed at times to be absent from the body and granted visions of the city "whose maker and builder is God." One night when the devoted trained nurse tried to comfort the sufferer and told her not to be afraid, she replied, "I have lived too near heaven to be afraid." The unselfish heart did not leave out a single dear one in her messages of love. There were earnest prayers and loving thoughts for each one. It was for the dear girls who watched and waited so anxiously and whom she loved so tenderly, that her last petition ascended. "God bless the girls of the Auxilliary." With broken hearts these young women in a body paid the last tribute of respect to the beloved friend and placed upon her grave the exquisitely beautiful emblems of their love and of the sweet realm whither her soul had gone. It would take pages to tell of the graces the gifts of mind, heart and person the sweet winsomeness and sprightliness which characterized this lovely young woman. It is unnecessary, for her friends know these well and will never forget them. In our night of anguish and lonesomeness there rises one bright star of hope. We have the assurance from her own dear lips that she has served her Lord even in deepest trial and pain, and was ready to depart and be with Him who had comforted her through it all. We cannot recall her, but we can strive to follow her beautiful example and reach the home "over there," where already so many of our dear ones have journeyed. May the peace of God who is moved with compassion by our sorrows, fill the hearts of the stricken family and friend and may she whom we mourn be a beacon light on the other shore, to warn us of the dangers and deception of the world and to guide us safely over the breakers "till we meet again." A FRIEND
