• Notes

  Young - Richard F. Young was born Dec. 12, 1812, in England; died March 19, 1909, in Coleborn Twp., Ont.; aged 96 y. 4 m. 8 d. He was probably the oldest resident in the township. Up to the last, he retained his faculties to a remarkable degree, being able to read without glasses. In 1834 he came to Canada with his father, and in 1840 he united in holy wedlock with Martha Woolner of Suffolk, England, who had come to Canada with her parents in 1832. She is a sister to Pre. Jacob Woolner, and is now in her 89th year, and was able to wait on her husband up to the last. To this union were born eighteen children, nine sons and nine daughters, of whom eleven still survive. There are also sixty-two grandchildren, fifty-four great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. The funeral took place on Monday, March 22, by Pre. W. Bough, minister of Wesleyan Methodist Church, of which the deceased was a member. Peace to his ashes. May God comfort the aged widow and all that are left to mourn Gospel Herald - Vol. II, No. 3 - April 15, 1909, page 47, 48
