YOUNT, Napoleon

Source: The People's Friend, Covington IN, Dec 5 1889

-- Napoleon Yount living near Mellott, brother of H. C. Yount of this city, died Sunday evening of typhoid fever. "Poly" as he was familiarly known by his intimate acquaintances, was well known here, especially among the members of the Knights of Pythias of which order he was an honored member. He was buried at the Lutheran church at Jacksonville Tuesday by the K of P's. On the casket was a handsome floral offering from his brother Knights. It was made of the choicest cut flowers, in the shape of a shield, with the letters "K. of P" worked in the center with flowers representing the color of the Knight's rank. He was a young man and had been married but a short time when he took sick. All the possibi9lities of a useful and happy life were just opening to him, when Death claimed him as a victim. he so lived that he leaves but sorrow and regret among those who knew him, over his early death. May God in His infinite mercy let his choicest blessing fall upon his grief stricken family.   -- kbz - thanks Sharen & Pam :)
