The comparatively short illness which preceded his death, on the evening of Sabbath last, affording so little pre-intimation, will make the stroke more deeply felt. It is hard to realize that, that familiar face shall be seen among us no more, and that, that cheerful voice is now silenced for ever. Since the time Mr Young came to Ramsay, now thirty-eight years ago, he has occupied a prominent social position. He had many admirable personal qualities which made him greatly liked, and led to his acquaintance being universally sought. He was cheerful and joyous in his temperament, genial and kindly in his disposition, and more than ready to fulfil all the offices of good neighbourship. Those who had the privilege of enjoying his closer friendship can never forget his fund of real and true kindness and warmth of heart, and the tenderness and affection which he could not forbear to show when the occasion called for it. How often has that kindly face come like a benediction to lighten trouble. As an agriculturalist he was foremost amongst those who took a lively interest in the advancement of that science, his council and advice being always looked for by the Director of the N.L. Agricultural Society of which he had been always a member and very often Vice-President. He will be greatly missed in many ways, and not least in the congregation of which he was a member. Ever since the Presbyterian worship was organized in Ramsay thirty-six years ago, Mr Young had conducted the praise in his congregation. First, in the Stone Church on the eighth line in Mr Fairburn's time; then in the Free Church there; and latterly in St John's Church, Almonte. He occupied his accustomed place on the Sabbath immediately preceding that on which he died, leading the praise of the congregation and hearing the word of God for the last time in the sanctuary on earth from the lips of his son. He was of sincere though unaffected piety, taking a large-hearted interest in every good work, an liberal in his support of them. We feel his death as a public loss. And what must it be to his surviving partner, and family? If a sincere sympathy with them in the sorrow of their bereavement can be any consolation, they have this, deeply and widespread. Mr Young had just completed his sixty eight year.
