A. D. Young Passed Away Last Sunday
One of the Old Frontiersmen and Stage Drivers Gone to His Last Long Rest
A. D. young, a wealthy citizen of Dillon, passed away last Sunday evening at his home on South Washington street. Death was due to heart failure, superinduced by paralysis of the stomach.
Several weeks ago Mr. Young felt the need of medical treatment, and went to Hot Springs, Utah, where he spent a few weeks, returning to Dillon on March 23, presumably in improved health.
On the morning of the 26th he was taken ill, and Dr. poindexter, the attending physician, found that Mr. Young was suffering with heart trouble, aggravated by paralysis of the stomach. His condition grew steadily worse, and on the afternoon of March 29th he passed away.
In the personnel of the early frontiersman and stage coach drivers, Al Young is deserving of the highest mention. Always in the forefront of civilization on its move westward, he took part in the stirring events of the western frontier. He was born near Syracuse, N. Y., October 22, 1842, being the eldest of several children. In his early childhood, the family moved to Wisconsin. At the age of 20, Al moved to Minnesota, and in 1863 he entered the employment of the Overland Stage company, at Council Bluffs. From then on, he moved westward with the forerunners of civilization. While in Denver in 1858, then the boom mining town of Colorado, Mr. Young was united in marriage to Miss Mary Hill, who shared the vicissitudes and happiness of his eventful life until July, 1907, when she passed away after a lingering illness.
From Denver, Mr. Young moved to Salt Lake City, and for a time drove out of that city. Later he came to Montana, and for several years followed his vocation as stage driver. In 1870, he located on what is now the old Young homestead, near Redrock and did not give up active stage coach driving until the year 1878, his last trip being from Barrett's station (Sim Estes) to Spencer, Idaho, for the firm of Gilmore & Salisbury, just before the completion of the railroad into Dillon.
Mr. Young actively participated in the Nez Perce Indian war, in 1877, being a member of the scouting party sent to Horse Prairie.
In 1878, Mr. Young began to devote his entire attention to his ranching in Redrock, and from the ranch he amassed a considerable fortune. In 1902, Mr. and Mrs. young moved to Dillon, and Mr. Young bought a fine stone residence on South Washington street. Since the death of his wife, he has spent his time between Dillon, southern California and Florida. Three years ago, he purchased the Emerick ranch, south of Dillon, and it has been his custom to motor out to this ranch daily. It was upon one of these trips that he became ill.
Only one brother of a family of six brothers survive Mr. Young. He is George W. Young of Crow Wing, Minnesota. Mr. Young arrived in Dillon Wednesday evening. Although Young visited his folks upon a couple of occasions since coming to Montana, George Young and Al Young met for the last time in 1863, just 51 years ago. A cousin of the deceased, Mrs. Mary Quinn, of Kansas City, Mo., and her daughter, Mrs. Merrill, arrived in Dillon yesterday morning.
The funeral was held from the Young residence, on South Washington street yesterday afternoon, Rev. Hamilton of the Grace Methodist church, officiating.
Rev. Hamilton preached an impressive funeral sermon.
