General Notes: Husband - Dr. Robert Grayham Young

---

In accordance with the usages of the Presbyterian church his parents early in life dedicated him in baptism; and at the age of thirteen, with the view of more conveniently giving him, their only son, the advantages of education, they changed their residence to Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Accordingly he entered Dickinson College, and continued in the regular studies of the course, until he reached the Junior class, when he was induced to commence the study of medicine. He selected Dr. John Paxton, at that time one of the leading physicians of the place as his preceptor and after the usual course of lectures in the University of Pennsylvania, the degree of Doctorem in Arte Medica was conferred upon him, March 26th, 1839. At the same time he was elected a member of the "Societas Medica Philadelphiensis" organized in 1789.
Thus prepared for the active duties of his profession, he returned with his parents to the old homestead, and soon found himself engaged in an extensive and laborious country practice. Sometime after his settlement, he changed his residence to Shiremanstown, and afterwards, in 1867, to Mechanicsburg.
In 1840 he was elected and ordained a Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian church at Silver Spring; and when the Presbyterian church in Mechanicsburg was organized he was again chosen to serve in this capacity.
In 1854 Dr. Young met with an accident that entailed much suffering which he bore with great resignation. By the kick of a horse the tibia and fibula of the right leg were broken. Ossious union took place very slowly and imperfectly. Six years afterwards in conference with his friends, Drs. Brandt and Herring, he consented to amputation, which proved successful. With the use of an artificial limb he was again able to engage in the practice of his profession. In 1870, however, he met with another accident, slipping and falling on a wet board. The result was, apparently, an intra-cupsular fracture of the head of the femur. Medical Science and Art here failed to give relief. All that could be done was to smooth the pathway of life.

He and his wife had five children; three were still living in 1879.
