Children

General Notes: Husband - Amos Young


When he was a child his father died, and he was taken into the family of his grandfather, Simon Young, but the latter died soon afterwards, and our subject then went to live with an uncle, whose name was also Simon Young. Here he resided until the age of fifteen years, working on the farm and attending school at intervals. At the age of fifteen he commenced to learn the stonemason's trade, and remained at that busi­ness for four years, and then engaged as a farm hand to Jacob Brown, whose daughter he subsequently married.
He resided on a farm, formerly owned by his father-in-law, consisting of eighty-five acres, to which he added forty-one acres. He also owned sixty-four acres in Centre township. He was a general farmer, and devoted considerable attention to the breeding of Shorthorn Durham cattle. He and wife were members of the Lutheran church, and in poli­tics, he was a stanch adherent of the Republican party.
