Ray Alonzo Young, one of Amsterdam's well-known young businessmen, died Friday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock at his home, 10 McDonnell street, after several days' illness of pneumonia.
Mr. Young was born at Stone Arabia, in the town of Palatine, April 12, 1885. He was married Novmeber 28, 1912, to Miss Margaret Boyd, of Fonda, daughter of the late J & C Boyd. He was a resident of Fonda for may years, coming to this city about three years ago. While at Fonda he served as deputy postmaster under Postmaster James A. Snell. He at once identified himslef with a number of organizations of this city and interested himself in its various activities, after coming to Amsterdam. Last January the firm of Tiffany & Young, insurance and bond brokers, was formed, of which Mr. Young was the junior member.
Mr. Young was a member of the First Reformed church of Fonda, of the Elks club and Antlers Country club of this city, also of the Liberty Bond Vocal club. He occupied positions as tenor soloist in various chiors of the churches of the city, and had been recently been connected with a churchchior in Schenectady. Mr. Young was known throughout the Mohawk valley as a vocalist of high degree, and was heard with pleasure wherever he sang.
Physically the picture of health, robust, and virtually exuding good cheer to all within the circles in which he moved. Ray Young was admired by everyone who knew him and his early passing brings deep sorrow to an unusually large number of friends - because of his cheery smile, his pleasing personality and unbounding faith in all that was good.
Mr. Young is survived by his wife; his grandfather Alonzo Eacker, of Ephratah; his father, Adam Young, and a brother, Alvin Young of Amsterdam; another brother, Homer G. of Springfield, Mass., and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Rowe of Schenectady, and Mrs. Harold timmerman, of New York.
