Mr. Young was born in Rock Bridge county, Virginia August 10, 1808, died August 21, 1899 age 91 years and 11 days and his remains were laid at rest in the America City cemetery the next day. The last one of his lineage except his own family. His parents moved from Virginia to Ohio when he was eight years old, where he learned the tanning trade. He remembered vividly of the scarlet coated soldiers of 1815 passing his home, and many incidents that happened during and just after the war. From Ohio he with his father and mother moved to Independence in 1832 where he erected a tannery which still exists. In 1835 he was married to Miss Clarinda Denny to which union have been born eight children, four sons and four daughters, four of which have died and the remaining four live in this vicinity, Bennett, W. A., and Jno. E. Young and Mrs. George Blankley. With his family he moved from Indiana to Iowa in which state they resided six years and then moved to Kansas where his home has been since. His devoted wife died August 24, 1869. He never belonged to any churchbut lived and exemplary christian life and was always a leader in any enterprise that was for the good and the advancement of the people. Never was sued and never sued, always generous and obliging and very highly respected by all who knew him. When he saw that death was ready to claim its victim, he shrank not from its icy grasp but viewed and accepted the inevitable like a philosopher and ceased from his labor.
