It is of my great-great grandmother, Holland Obedience "Bedia" DRAKE, born 30 Aug, 1832, died 9 Dec. 1902, buried at Riverside Cemetery, Warren Co. Ky., her son, Andrew Warren "Pete" Young,born July 7, 1871, died 16 Oct, 1941, her daughter, Julia Ann Young, born in 1869, died in Feb 1927.

"Bedia" was the daughter of John Guilliam Drake and Mary (Polly) Felts. She married first to Hiram Wade of Butler County, Ky., when she was not quite 13 years old. She was apparently widowed by the time she was 18 and had a daughter, Mary E. Wade, age 4, showing on the 1850 Butler Co., Ky. census.

She married my great-great grandfather, Thomas Columbus Young on June 23, 1851.
