Obituary Notes

New York, 1895

Sarah Elizabeth Youngs, who died at her home in Oyster Bay Cove of heart failure on Wednesday, was the daughter of Daniel Smith of Hog Island and a lineal descendant of Sir John Underhill. She was the widow of Daniel K. Youngs and 73 years old. She was born at Hog Island and was a life long member of Christ Church at Oyster Bay. She leaves one son, William J. Youngs.

The Rev. E. I. Connell, formerly pastor of St. Rose of Lima Catholic church at Rockaway beach, died of consumption on Saturday. Father Connell's death makes the sixth priest of the Long Island diocese to die since the beginning of the year.

Edward Spring Knapp of Bay Shore died suddenly at the Fifth avenue hotel in New York on Monday evening of apoplexy. He arrived at the Fifth avenue Saturday with his wife, and he was in good health apparently.
