EVA ANNIE YOUNG

Eva Annie Young was born on 5 October 1880 in Dublin, Ireland to George Alfred Young (1838-1920) and Emma Jane Taylor (1847-1883). Eva had four siblings, Laura Barbara/Joan (1873-1956), William Edwin (1876-1953), Emma Louisa (1879-1973) and another brother, E J.

William immigrated to Canada arriving on board SS ‘Mongolian’ on 21 April 1904 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

It is likely that Eva came to Canada arriving on 14 August 1910 on SS ‘Lake Manitoba’ which sailed from Liverpool, England to Montreal, Quebec. She was a typist who was destined to meet with her brother in Lashburn, Saskatchewan.

In the 1911 census for Lashburn, brother and sister, William (1876) and Eva (1880) Young were living in the same household. There is a homestead record for a William Edward Young for section NE-04-47-25-W3 which matches with William’s 1916 census record when he was farming in the Malibou Lake area to the south of Lashburn. William was married to Kathleen Elsie Tarleton(1882-1971) and they had a school teacher, Mary Hood (b 1871) lodging with them.

By 1915, Eva is living at 610 6th Ave N, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and initially worked as a maid for the Saskatoon Private Hospital. From 1918 to 1937, Eva worked as a stenographer for CNR, generally lodging at 314 5th Ave N with Nicholas Benelken, the house owner.

In 1922 Eva went back to Ireland for a visit, listing a brother, Rev E J Young as her contact in Ireland. Her sister, Emma Louisa (1879), who gave the same brother as a contact on her passenger papers, came to Saskatoon to visit Eva in 1927 with the intention of settling in Canada. At this time Eva was living at 314 5th Ave N in Saskatoon.

Eva likely died in 1938 and is buried at Lashburn, Saskatchewan. Also buried in Lashburn cemetery are Eva’s brother William, her sister Emma and William’s wife Kathleen.
