Information: DIES ENROUTE TO HOSPITAL - An aged resident of the Kenna community died in a Parsons ambulance Wednesday while enroute to a doctor's office in Ripley.  She was Mrs. Mary Esther Young, 85, who along with all the members of the family had been victims of the influenza for a few days.  Suddenly she began to have trouble breathing and an ambulance was called to bring her to a doctor's office here for treatment.  Some thought she might suddenly have developed pneumonia, but at any rate it was said that she was experiencing respiratory difficulty which became worse with each passing minute.  She was born May 20, 1877 in Virginia, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Bowen.  Surviving her are two sons, Dewey Young, Kenna and Allen Young, Charleston; two daughters,..........and Mrs. Grace Clark, Delta, O.; a brother, Frank Bowen of Poca.  There are three sisters, Mrs. Isa Harpold, Dunbar, Mrs. Fanny Wolfe, Bancroft and Miss Gertha Bowen of Florida.  Funeral services for Mrs. Young were conducted at the Parsons funeral home here Friday afternoon with Rev. D. M. Dorsey officiating and the body was taken to the Bowen cemetery at Tyler Mountain for interment.
