from the Janesville Daily Gazette:
R. Paul Young passed from this life at his home, No. 3, Sharon street, this city, Thursday night at fifteen minutes after eleven o'clock. Mr. Young was born in Forestville, N.Y. Nov. 4, 1837, and came with his parents to Wisconsin when he was seven years of age, settling upon a farm in Harmony township, but soon ofter the family moved to this city and into the second ward, where he has lived since April 27 of this year, when he moved into a new house on Sharon street.
He was the youngest and last of a family of seven brothers and sisters. He served as a soldier in the 23rd regiment, Co. E, Wis. Volunteers, and at the close of the war was married to Miss Harriet Chase, Nov. 13, 1865, in Tovawanda, Penn. He was a member of the fire department in the early days and was for some time chief of the department. He was long employed by Mr. Thoroughgood in his factory and was employed at other time in the Jeffris mills and other places of wood-working until failing health compelled him to give up active business and he had lived quietly the last year enjoying his home life which was especially attractive to his unassuming nature.
He leaves to mourn his wife, two daughters and one son, Mrs Carrie J. Bates of Chicago, Maude L., wife of W.E. Thresher and whose home is in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Chas. J., now living in Fond du Lac...
