This is from another newspaper clipping sent to me with John Young's Bible. OBIT for Willis Young After an illness of nine months, Willis Young died at his home in Doddsville, Ill., Saturday, Dec 31, 1910 at the age of 30 years, 1 month and 15 days. The cause of death was tuberculosis. Deceased was born in Eldorado township, McDonough Co., Ill., Nov 16, 1880. He was the oldest son of James Porter, and Margaret Ann Young. His mother preceded him in death some 18 years ago. On Nov 18, 1902 he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Cook, of Oakland township, Schuyler Co., and to them were born two sons, Gurnie Farris, aged six years and Willis Verl, aged sixteen months. Deceased was highly respected, and a loving and faithful husband and father. Besides his wife and children he leaves a father, step mother, two brothers and two sisters, all living near Doddsville, Ill, and a host of NOTE: The rest of the obit was not included. I do have an abstract to post that my g'father, Edward Young wrote in a story about his life. Willis and Edward were brothers, Willis was my great-uncle. My brother, Willis, was farming the Dood's farm down by Doddsville and he asked me what I would take to work for him. I told him that Orrie was getting $25 per month and that was what I would like to have. He said OK, he would give me that and I hired out to him. Along that summer Bert Messmore came down from Macomb. He was in charge of renting the farm. He had been to see Willis who had been sick most of the summer but wanted to rent the place for another year. Mr. Messmore came out to the field where I was working and asked me if he did rent to Willis and if Willis was not able to farm, would I take over the farm and see that it was farmed. I told him I would and I worked the year through for him and shucked 80 acres of corn by myself by hand. I was going with Anna Standard all of that summer. On December 24, 1910 we were married and took over the farm for the next year of 1911. About a week after we were married, on December 31, 1910 Willis passed away from tuberculosis. ………………Submitted by….Kathleen (Stoneking) Cooper in Rantoul, IL
