Composition of gravestone: Pinkish-Brown granite. I believe this gravestone was emplaced in 1923 or later, rather than 1919 because the inscription of his wife does not look like it was added on later. Judging by the weathering on the stone, 1923 seems reasonable.

Samuel Younkins was a son of Michael Younkins & Mary Locke.

Michael Younkins was born in Pennsylvania, in Westmoreland
county, and after his marriage settled near Tarentum, but still in Westmoreland county. He was a farmer and became an extensive land owner. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and both died in Armstrong county & are buried at Union Baptist Church Cemetery. He married Mary Locke (daughter of William & Elizabeth Locke), born near Grove City, and they had children : William; Jacob, a farmer, died in Armstrong county ; Benjamin, deceased, was of Westmoreland county; Michael, died in Armstrong county, Samuel, lives in Armstrong county ; Sophia, married John A. Shearer, and died in Armstrong county ; Nancy, married Henry Ditman, and died in Armstrong county; Mary Ann, married John Montgomery, and lives in Armstrong county ; John, died in early manhood.
