From The Richmond Times-Dispatch, June 25, 1905
In June 1905 with the death of Nathaniel F. Young, Isle of Wight County was in a unique position in that, until another clerk was appointed, there was no other person in the county qualified to issue marriage licences or perform any other official act for which a court's clerk is chosen. It was one week before Albert Sidney Johnson, a captain of state militia, was hired to fill the void.
