- OBITUARY from The Kerrville Advance, Kerrville, Texas, Thursday, April 8, 1915:
"Mrs Mary Catherine Young died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ida A. Cannon, on the 29th of March. She had been sick for quite a while.
Deceased ws born in Mississippi on Christmas day and was at the time of her death between 75 and 80 years of age. She leaves seven children, 3 dead and 4 living. Those living are: Will Young of Mississippi, Georgia Knox of Gonzales county, Martha McKenzie of Robert, Ark, and Mrs. Ida A. Cannon of Kerr county. The dead: Miss Sallie Young, California, Jim Young. Her husband has been dead for about 30 years.
Sister Young had been at the time of her death a member of the Missionary Baptist Church about sixty years, a long time indeed, to live a Christian life and work for the Master. But such a record is worth our best consideration, and we should remember that it is ours to live a true church life, as she and others have done, if we will only submit to the Master's will and allow Him to take the lead of our lives and rule and reign therein instead of sin and the devil. It was told the writer by one close related to her that during the 60 years of her church life, that she lived a consistent and devoted life. Sister Young has only left this body of clay to be with her heavenly Father. She has just gone on to await the coming of the host that love the Lord.
To those who weep because of her parting, remember that she can't come back to you, but you, through Christ, can go to her, and in the glory world there is no separation and sorrow.
May God give each of you every needed blessing, and help you to live pure Christian lives is my prayer."
