_______________________
YOUNGS: In this village [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY], on Tuesday evening, Nov. 26th, Rachel J. [Youngs] wife of Richard Youngs, aged 48 years.
Mrs. Youngs was the youngest daughter of Joseph and Fanny Youngs of Windsor, Broome Co. N.Y. She came to Oxford to reside in 1859 and leaves a large circle of relatives and warmly attached friends to mourn her death. For many years, consumption has numbered her among its subjects, yet her energetic nature rose superior to the weakness and suffering consequent upon that disease, and until the last two weeks she has attended to every detail of her household and her business. Making no loud profession of love and affection, she was yet most faithful to all the relations and duties of wife, neighbor and friend. Never did she wound the heart of the unfortunate or sorrowing or grieve others by unkindness and lack of sympathy. In all dealings with patrons observant of the small, sweet courtesies of life, she was to those in need most especially kind. She was by parental training and by religious faith a Presbyterian, though from long illness was seldom able to attend public worship. In those last days and hours of physical torture, she feared that some word seeming like impatient murmuring might escape her lips. In the hearts of all who knew and loved her, there will be a place consecrated to the memory of her blameless life and she cannot by them be forgotten.
"From the eternal shadow rounding / All oer sun and starlight here, / Voices of our lost ones sounding, / Bid us, be of heart and cheer, / Through the silence down the spaces falling on the inward ear."
"Let us draw their mantles oer us / Which have fallen by the way; / Let us do the work before us, / Cheerily, bravely while we may, / Ere the long night silence cometh and with us it is not day"
