General Notes: Husband - Dr. Theodore Jacob Young
He was born in Germany, and like his father, participated in the rebellion of 1848-49. After coming to the United States he pursued his studies in Philadelphia, and in 1856 settled at Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, where he devoted himself to the study of medicine. In 1860-61 he attended the Cleveland Medical College, and was then appointed by the State of Pennsylvania assistant surgeon for three years, or until the close of the war, being assigned to the 124th Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Cavalry. He served on the staffs of Colonel Minty and General Hatch, and acted as surgeon in charge of hospitals in Huntsville and Eufaula, Alabama. Many “special orders” and also many letters on file in the State Department testify to Dr. Young's efficiency in the discharge of duty and to his professional skill.
At the close of the war Dr. Young was honorably mustered out of service, receiving his discharge in October, 1865, and immediately settled in Titusville, Pennsylvania, where he entered upon the practice of his profession. In 1867 he moved to Philadelphia and matriculated at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1868. He then returned to Titusville, where he engaged in continuous practice. For many years he was surgeon for the railways centering in that place, and for several years filled the office of county physician. He was a life member of the American National Medical Association and the State Medical Society. and also belonged to the Crawford County Medical Society, serving for a time as its president and for five years holding the offices of secretary and treasurer.
