His father was Adam Youse and his mother was Catherine Ann Kiebach Youse. When the Civil War began in 1861, Wellington was not of age, but in order to serve the North, he assumed a fictitious name and it is not known how long he was with the Army. After the war was over in 1865 Wellington Youse was married at the age of nineteen years to Amanda Hilbert, fifteen years old, whose parents were Abraham Hilbert and Christine Yoder Hilbert. A daughter Sarah was born in Richmond Township the year following their marriage. A transaction of property bought and sold was recorded in the Berks County Courthouse at Reading, Pennsylvania. In May, 1868, Wellington and Amanda Youse bought property in Longswamp Township from Zacharias Hilbert and wife, Susanna, but sold the property the next year as Wellington Youse decided to join the great numbers who were moving westward. Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, was their home for a few years and about 1880 they left their native State for the State of Kansas. They had six children at the time they located in Allen County, Kansas, where they were to live for the remainder of their lives. Wellington Youse took his family to Oklahoma where he farmed near Chandler for about three years but conditions were not satisfactory so he returned to Allen County in Kansas. The Humboldt Brick and Tile Company was organized in 1898 and Wellington Youse began employment that was to last until his death in 1928. The Secretary and General Manager of the Humboldt Brick and Tile Company wrote the following words: "The latter years of Mr. Youse's connection with this company was as head burner at the plant. He was intelligent, performed his duties well and was in every way a model employee." The death of his wife, Amanda, occurred in 1926 and soon after this Wellington Youse made his will. Three of his grandchildren were mentioned besides his seven living children. The names of the grandchildren were Dora Youse Mueller, Carrol Rogers and Ruby Rogers Meath. Wellington Youse was now in his eightieth year and had given up active work. He lived his last two years with his daughter, Flora Youse Lyons, in Humboldt, Kansas. A simple stone was erected to the memory of Wellington and Amanda Youse in Mount Hope Cemetery in Humboldt. Wellington and Amanda Hilbert Youse had eleven Children: Sarah Youse, Carrie Youse, Flora Victoria Youse Lyons, Alonza Wellington Youse, Lizzy M. Youse, Ulius J. Youse, Emma Youse, Sadia Youse, William M. Youse and Bessie Ruth Youse. Source: Dennis Dale McKay (descendant of Wellington)
