Hello
Can anyone give me any information on any of these members of the YOUNG
family ?
My name is Steve Cooper and I research the YOUNG families that were in
Lauderdale County, Alabama from the mid 1800's until present day.
I have known for some time that my grandfathers brother Wheeler Young moved
from Lauderdale County, Alabama to Indiana (Probably South Bend or
Mishawaka) to the Seattle, Washington area. This morning I received an
obituary of Wheeler Young from a gentleman in Indiana. I did not know the
last names of Wheeler Young's daughters until today. I knew only their
first names and that a son was named Kary or Kerri or Cary.
Will you please see if you have any information on this YOUNG family or if
anyone else that researches YOUNG might be able to help me ?
Here is the information that was in the obituary from the Mishawaka
newspaper. I will not type it word for word.
Ex-resident Dies at 79 in Seattle (this was about 1975 or 1976)
Wheeler Young, 79 of Seattle, formerly of Mishawaka, Indiana died at a
Seattle Nursing home.
Born in May 1896 in Waterloo, Alabama.
Had lived the last 10 years in Seattle.
He married Mamie (Young) Young in Lauderdale County, Alabama.
Mamie died in 1941. (this may have been in Mishawaka, Indiana.)
Surviving are 2 daughters, Mrs. Ruth Fain and Mrs. Catherine (Katy) Wilkins
both of Seattle; a son Kary Young of Mishawaka, Indiana, and seven
grandchildren. Another daughter Mrs. Dorothy Cox died March 28. My mother
thinks that this daughter, Dorothy died in a fire.
The Butterworth Funeral Home, Seattle was in charge of arrangements.
Thanks for any help that you can give me.
