Departed this life, of Typhoid fever, on Thursday, the 28th day of February last, on Deer Creek. Issaquena County, Miss., Thomas Young Chaney M.D., aged 24 years, 6 months, and 8 days.
The deceased was born August 20, 1835, almost on the very spot upon which he breathed his very last and his remains now quietly sleep in the garden of the Old Homestead and within twenty yards of the place of his birth.
Dr. Chaney pursued his primary collegiate course in Berlin, Worcester County, State of Maryland, afterwards became a student of Oakland College in this State, and completed his classical course at the University of Virginia with distinguished honor.
He selected medicine for his profession, and afterwards through his usual course graduated at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, on the 3rd day of March, 1836, desiring to attaining to yet more experience in his profession before entering its practice, he afterwards spent some time at the Louisiana Medical College in New Orleans, where he gained for himself the admiration and regard of Dr. Warren Stone, as he had previously done of Professor Samuel Jackson and others whilst in Philadelphia.
Returning to his Old Homestead in March, 1857, thoroughly qualified, he associated himself with his elder brother (Dr. Wm. J. Chaney.) Assumed the responsible duties of his noble profession, and was rapidly acquiring. Brief as was his life the high distinction, his friends had predicted for him, but alas, his career brilliant and as it promised, had been cut short, "his sun has gone down whilst it was yet day."
A fondly attached brother and sister with many sorrowing friends were with him in his last moments, his only regret being that he was denied the privilege of seeing his beloved mother who was too distant to reach him, ere "the silver cord was loosed"and his immortal spirit had winged its flight to realms on high.
Few men could claim as many sincerely attached friends as Thomas Young Chaney, so amiable and excellent was he in all the relations of life, that none could know him but to love him - kind and generous almost to a fault, his hand was ever open to the melting claims of charity, his skill and services he was ever ready to bestow upon the affected regardless of remuneration a heart filled with every noble impulse was hushed, when his ceased to beat; short as were his days on earth, he lived not in vain, but exemplified in his life all the qualities which dignify and adorn humanity. He has passed from earth, but his memory will remain embalmed in the hearts of his many surviving friends, who cherishing him in fond recollection, will strive to make his virtuous life their example. Peace to thy -spirit, dear, dear friend.
