DEATH OF DR. YOUMANS.
THE OLDEST AND BEST KNOWN OF WAUKESHA COUNTY PRACTITIONERS.

Waukesha, Wis., Oct. 4. - Dr. Henry A. Youmans, the oldest of the medical practitioners of Waukesha county, died at 8 o'clock this evening at the residence of his eldest surviving son, H. M. Youmans of The Waukesha Freeman, at the age of more than77 years. Dr. Youmans was born at Coeymans, N. Y., May 22, 1816. He passed his boyhood and youth in Western New York, graduating at the Geneva medical college in 1842, and came to Wisconsin soon afterward. He began practice at Mukwonago fifty years ago last August and very soon became widely known as the hardest working physician and one of the most successful in this part of the state, and from that time on kept up his work until last year, with the exception of the winter of 1861 when he was a member of the Wisconsin legislature. He was one of the most lovable of men, and devoted to his friends and to his duty as he understood it. His death will be mourned by hundreds of people outside of his immediate family. He leaves four children - H. M. Youmans, mentioned above; Mrs. T. W. Haight of Waukesha, Dr. L. E. Youmans of Mukwanago, and Mrs. Dr. S. G. West of Chicago. In accordance with one of the provisions of his will his remains will be cremated at Detroit.
