Boy Chokes to Death Saturday While Eating With Other Children
Another tragedy in this community was that of the death, Saturday afternoon, January 19 of Michael Stewart Young, the near five year old son of Mr. and Mrs Odell Young who reside northwest of town. Several neighbor children were at the Young home, playing together and all were eating sandwiches when Michael became choked on the food, causing his quick death. Mrs. Young rushed him to the hospital at Stayton but to no avail.
Graveside services were held at Miller cemetery, Monday afternoon, with Rev. Gerald Manley, pastor of Scio Baptist Church conducting the rites.
He was born February 1, 1952 at Albany and had lived on the farm near Scio until his passing. Besides the parents, he is survived by two brothers, Robert, 15, and Larry, 13, and sister, Carol, 6 of the family home; and grandparents, Mr and Mrs. James Trollinger, also of Scio and C. B. Young, Spartanburg, South Carolina.
