ONEONTA — Earnest Buford Young, 82, of Oneonta, died peacefully on Monday, April 2, 2001, at the New York State Veterans Home at Oxford, with his son and daughter-in-law at his bedside and in the presence of the Creator.
"Earnie" was born on Feb. 21, 1919, in Dustin, Okla., the eighth of 13 children of William ("Willie") Buford and Dora Ann Ruddell Young of Wetumka, Okla.
Great family stories surrounded his growing up in the Creek Nation of Oklahoma. Fiddle, guitar and banjo music mixed with hoeing cotton, cutting cane and smoking meat. The Dustbowl and Depression brought hard times yet created a legacy in Earnest of giving freely to those who were worse off.

After the war, he married Ruth Marie Connor in 1946, at Wetumka, and moved to Weleeka, Okla. There he ran a radio and electrical repair shop, where he attracted curious onlookers with the first TV in that part of eastern Oklahoma.
In 1950, his family moved to Midwest City, Okla. Earnest worked at Tinker Air Force Base, and then ran Young's TV with his wife and son.
He was an avid, record-setting fisherman and a coon and quail hunter who loved his dogs and being outdoors with family and friends. He played guitar and enjoyed Country-Western music and dancing.
In 1995, Earnest moved to Oneonta, N.Y., where he is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Phil and Honey Young; his three grandchildren, Courtney, Caitlyn and Benjamin Young; special friends, Bob, Mary Lynn and Annalee Bensen, Irene Judkins and Elsie Albright; and others at the Hampshire House.

Ray of Wetumka; sisters, Ruby Anderson of Wetumka, Helen (and Murrel) Cowherd of Tulsa, Okla., Agnes (and Raymond) Finch of Wichita, Kan.; a brother, Clyde (and Gladys) Young of Holdenville, Okla.; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends, including his 45th Recon "buddies."
