Comments: James F. Young was a farmer and lived with his family in the Rosewood Comm.  His son, Edward, died during WWI aboard the ship, the Tuscania, which was blown up by the German U-Boat UB-77 as it neared
Ratilin Lighthouse near northern Ireland.  It was the first American Troop ship torpedoed and sunk.
