- The following appeared on 20 January 1933 in the Ogdensburg Journal: (Waddington, Jan. 20) Samuel Porteous Young, 87, one of our oldest and most highly respected citizens, died Tuesday evening at 9:45 o'clock at his home on Main Street. He had been in failing health for some time due to his advanced age, but during the day had seemed a little better and death was not expected. [:CR;] Mr. Young, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Young, was born October 28, 1846, in the town of Waddington and has always made his home here. For many years he made farming his business, living on a farm on the Madrid road up to the time he moved his family to the house he purchased on Main Street in the village.
More than 50 years ago he married Caver Blythe, daughter of Deacon and Mrs. Blythe, also of Waddington, who died September 20, 1930. To this union were born two children, Thomas Blythe Young, who married and lived in the west for some years prior to his death, and also a daughter who died in infancy.
Surviving are three grandchildren, Clarence Young of Ashton, S. D; Mrs. Leavinia Young Newsom of Bethany, Okla., and Eugene Young of Waddington; also several nieces and nephews. Mr. Young was a member of the First Presbyterian church.
Mrs. Thomas Young, his daughter-in-law, of Bethany, Okla., came east in March, 1932, to care for Mr. Young and remained with him until the end. Her son, Eugene, is also here with his mother and assisted in caring for his grandfather.
The funeral was held at the home Thursday afternoon, Jan. 19, at 2 o'clock, the Rev. Dr. Owen J. Roberts of the Presbyterian church, officiating. Burial was made in the family plot in Brookdale cemetery.
