YOUNT, Jonathan A.

––––––––

Jonathan A. Yount died Saturday morning at his home in Hensley town­ship from Bright’s disease. For a num­ber of years this disease had been undermining his health but not until about two weeks before his death did it assume so serious a form as to compel him to take to his bed. The funeral oc­curred Sunday afternoon at two o’clock at Bethlehem church, conducted by Rev. Woolfington. Mr. Yount was 65 years old. He was born in Shelby County, Ky., and came to this county in 1860, settling in Hensley township. For many years he dealt in stock and be­came well known as a dealer through­out this and adjoining counties. He was honorable in all his dealings and held in the highest respect by all who knew him. George and Ed. Yount of Pleasant township, Walter and John Yount of Hensley township and Charles Yount of Indianapolis are the sons of deceased.
