Missouri.



ED. R. DEYOUNG (UNKNOWN).



"(Unable to read first line of article.) profound sense of personal loss
to the community, that we chronicle the death of Ed. R. DeYoung, from
heart disease, at his home in this city, last Sunday night at about a
quarter past nine o'clock, with scarcely a moments warning.



He was born in Louisville, Ky., Dec 3, 1836, and at the time of his
death was in his 58-9th year. He moved to Missouri while yet a child,
and for about 55 years has been an honored and respected citizen of
Madison and vicinity. He was first married to Miss Anna Eliza
Robertson, who died Nov. 1888, and from which union one child was born,
now Mrs. Vasse of Huntsville, who survives him. Several years
afterward, in 1890, he was married to Mrs. Jennie Wethers, of Shelby
county, and to this union another daughter was born, now about three
years old, and who, with its mother, is left to fight the battles of
life without his tender care and wise counsel.



He was united with the C.P. church at this place only a few short months
ago, and to a friend had expressed regret that he had not embraced
religion earlier in life, as since his conversion he had lived happily
in the joys of the Lord. His funeral was preached by Rev. J.E. Sharp,
of Marshall, at the Christian church in this place, at 1 o'clock
Tuesday, after which his remains were followed to Holliday by a large
concourse of relatives and friends, where they were buried beside those
of his first wife, the burial service being conducted by the I.O.O.F.,
of which order he was a worthy member.



His kind, cheerful face was a perfect reflection of the big heart within
him, and of him it is said, that no one truly worthy, ever appealed to
him in vain. He was a man of true worth, and beside his widow and two
daughters, he leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.



There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars spread
out before us like the islands that slumber on the ocean's bosom and
where the beautiful (things) that pass before" (.rest of article
