	WILLIAM MITCHELL YOUNG, jeweler, South Main street, between Vine and Gambler streets.  Mr. Young is a native of this county.  He was born about two miles west of Fredericktown May 31, 1830.  When about ten years of age his parents removed to Mt.

Strieby, in the jewelry business, with whom he remained about two years, and then engaged with Mr. Joshua Hyde, with whom he finished his trade, after which he formed a partnership with his late instructor, and for twelve years the business was carried on under the firm name of Hyde & Young.  At the expiration of this time (in 1868) he bought out his partner's interest.  Since then he has conducted the business as sole proprietor.  He carries at all times a full stock of fine gold and silver watches, clocks, jewelry of all grades, and solid and plated silverware.  He also attends to watch, clock, and jewelry repairing in a style equal to the best establishments in the State, and on the shortest notice.      During his partnership with Mr. Hyde, Mr. Young enlisted in company A, Ninety-sixth Ohio volunteer infantry, and was commissioned first lieutenant, and served with the regiment about eight months, when he resigned and came home, remaining about eighteen months.  He then entered the service again and was commissioned major of the One Hundred and Forty-second regiment Ohio National guard, Colonel William Cooper commanding, in which he served the full time for which the regiment was called—one hundred days.      On the fourteenth day of October, 1852, Mr. Young was married to Miss R. W. Ward, of Mt. Vernon.  Five children were born to them—three sons and two daughters.      Mr. Young is one one of Mt. Vernon's most prominent business men, prompt in all his business engagements, and, in a social point of view, is highly esteemed for his many good qualities.  His parents were of the old pioneer stock, who aided in rescuing the county from its wilderness condition.
