Biography
Melissa Lucinda Lorenda Jane “Lucy J” Reed Young BIRTH 25 Jul 1846 DEATH 31 Jul 1930 (aged 84) BURIAL Elizabeth Cemetery Elizabeth, Fulton County, Arkansas, USA MEMORIAL ID 14276301
Inscribed on a cement slab. "Lucy J. Young Mother of W.A. Young"
In a personal interview with Henry Alvin Young when he was about 92 years old, he said his Grandmother's name was Melissa Lucinda Lorenda Jane Reed Young and she was always called Lucy J. He took me to the Elizabeth cemetery and showed me several homemade cement markers he helped make, including Lucy J's.
