Leander M. Young

Along with his wife, parents and siblings, he is buried in the Old Liberty Cemetery in the town of Liberty, Sullivan County, NY. The family has a large monument with smaller headstones with initials of each person.

The monument reads as follows:

End:

LEANDER M. YOUNG Co. H 28th R N.Y. V. 1835-1905 ----- CARRIE FITCH His Wife 1841 – 1910

Front Side:

SAMUEL M. YOUNG Aug. 22, 1798 – Jan. 28, 1856 ----- DELIA CARRIER Wife of Samuel M. Young Mar. 6, 1808 – Feb. 24, 1901 ----- MARIA CARRIER Wife of Samuel M. Young Jan. 11, 1802 – Jan. 30, 18287

Back Side:

PHILEMON C. YOUNG April 19, 1834 – April 25, 1867 ---- ELIZA DRENNON Wife of Philemon C. Young March 31, 1835 – Sept. 3, 1882 ----- MINERVA E. YOUNG July 22, 1840 – Aug. 10, 1878

I’d suggest that Samuel and Delia are the parents of Leander, Philemon & Minerva Young.

The cemetery is found across the road from St. Peter’s Cemetery in Liberty. Many of the graves are in very poor condition, with many toppled over, some broken into pieces. The Young plot is located about halfway deep into the cemetery. If one stands with his back to the flag in St. Peter’s, the Young plot is just south of the flag.
