YOUNG, one of the highly esteemed residents of Collinsville, now retired, presents an example of diversified activity in many fields of endeavor and of versatile gifts of a business character finding expression in the founding and conduct of numerous enterprises. Mr. Young's activities have invaded widely diverse fields of commercial endeavor, in all of which his abilities have served to gain him a full measure of success, and his life has been a full and honorable one, culminating in the winning of a competence for his declining years. He was born in Preble county, Ohio, July 4, 1845, a son of William YOUNG, a native of Pennsylvania, who was but a lad when brought by his parents to Milford township, Butler county. The community at that time was practically a wilderness and William YOUNG grew up amid pioneer surroundings, depending upon the primitive district schools for his education. He married Margaret WHITE, of South Caroli! na, and following their union they went to Preble county, Ohio, where Mr. YOUNG accumulated a property of 240 acres and passed the rest of his life in farming, dying at the age of sixty-one years. He was an industrious and God-fearing man, a member of the Presbyterian church, and a staunch Republican in his later years, having been originally a Whig. Mrs. YOUNG died in 1847. They were the parents of twelve children: Abram, who died at the age of nineteen years; Samuel, who died aged thirty; Mary, aged forty; Alexander, aged eighty-eight; David, aged forty-five; Sarah, aged thirty-five; James, aged eighty-three; Cornelia, February 16, 1919, as the wife of Reuben JACOBY; Andy, in 1863; Frank, deceased; William E.; Frank's twin; and Elizabeth, widow of William B. HAUK, of Indianapolis, Ind. William E. YOUNG attended the district schools of Preble county and also spent one term in the public school at Seven Mile, and resided on the old home place until he was fifteen years ! of age. He and his brothers farmed the homestead for one year, and an other property east of Somerville for two years, and when but eighteen years of age, in 1864, Mr. YOUNG enlisted in the Union army for service during the Civil war, becoming in 1864 a member of Company H, 167th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He enlisted at Somerville, whence he was sent to the Kenesaw valley of Virginia, and, under Colonel MOON, took part in several engagements and a number of skirmishes. He had a number of close calls during his service, but eventually came through unscathed and received his honorable discharge, in October, 1864. Upon his return, he remained with his brother David for seven years, and then went to Anderson, Ind., where for two years he was engaged in the grain business. Later he engaged in traveling through the country as a lightning-rod agent, continuing this until called home to settle the estate of his brother. He also settled the estate of his sister and then went to Casey, Clark county, Ill., where for seven years he was engag! ed in the hardware business. Mr. YOUNG then turned his attention to farming for a time in Oxford township, Butler county, but was again called to commercial affairs and for three years was engaged in the hardware and tinware business at Oxford. His health failing, he was compelled to retire from active pursuits for a time, and, much against his nature, remained idle from 1880 to 1888. He then erected a home at Oxford and embarked in the manufacture of hand-made shoes, a business which he built up until he was employing eight men. Three years later he sold out and was again out of business for five or six years, although he did something in the way of dealing in real estate during this period. Returning to the manufacture of shoes, he continued in that business for eighteen years, eventually disposing of his interests to A. F. SLOAN. Mr. Young's next venture was the erection of dwellings at Oxford, where he owned a number of lots on Main street, incidentally making num! erous improvements there. While he still retains considerable propert y at Oxford, he sold his house there in 1918 and moved to his present residence at Collinsville. While of late years Mr. Young has been considerably troubled by the loss of his eyesight, he is still active, alert and capable, with a splendid memory and a zest for participation in life's various activities. In the various communities in which he has resided he has been always a progressive citizen, and this was particularly apparent at Oxford, where, as a member of the city council, he fought persistently for the grading of the streets and the installation of cement sidewalks, a battle in which he eventually came out victorious. He is a staunch Republican in his political adherence, and his fraternal affiliation is with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. For twenty years he has been a deacon in the Presbyterian church, and throughout his life has been active in religious work. In each of the communities in which he has lived he has gained the respect and confidence th! at are only granted to those whose integrity is unassailable. Mr. YOUNG was married at Liberty, Ind., to Sophia SHELLENBERGER, of Darrtown, Ohio, who died October 20, 1918. They were the parents of two children both of whom died young."

Hi! I don't know if I have the right person--are you doing look-ups in a book that covers Butler Co.? If so, I am interested in Moses Young of Liberty TWP. He was born about 1799 and died about 1870. His daughter Christiann married Lewis (Louis) Emmons and lived on the family farm in Liberty until she died about 1902. Thanks, if you can do this! Kathy Klobas
