CHARLES ADAM YOUNG,
a prominent wholesale meat dealer and business man, is a
resident of Springfield Township, where he has a fine home
and two small farms. He was born in Donnelsville, Clark
County, Ohio, May 16, 1872, and is a son of John and
Elizabeth (Creshbaum) Young.
JOHN YOUNG was born in Germany,
where he learned the trade of a mason in his early days.
While a young man he came to America, settling first in
Pennsylvania, where he engaged in the meat business.
After his marriage he came to Clark County, Ohio, locating
at Donnelsville, in Bethel Township, where for years he sold
meat through the country. He lived there until his
death in June, 1897, when he was aged seventy-nine years.
He was united in marriage with Elizabeth Creshbaum,
who was born in Germany and was but two years of age when
brought to this country by her parents. She survives
her husband and resides at Donnelsville. Four children
blessed their union: John A., who lives at Yellow
Springs; Peter of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; William
of Springfield, Ohio; and Charles Adam.
Charles Adam Young was reared at Donnelsville
and attended the public schools there. He remained at
home until his marriage, and for two years there after
continued to reside in that village. He then purchased
his present place from G. W. Adams. The large
house of ten rooms and the barn were built when he moved
upon the farm, but the cold storage plant and the cattle
yards were built by Mr. Young. He has a
very extensive business, disposing of all his meats to the
retail establishments of Springfield. He is a
successful business man and stands very high in the esteem
of his fellow citizens.
Mr. Young was joined in marriage, Oct. 2,
1895, with Miss Amy E. Minnich, who was born in
Bethel Township, where her parents, Dewitt C. and
Elizabeth (Higgins) Minnich still reside. She is
one of five children, as follows: Grace, wife of
Lee Miller; Anna, wife of Dr. H. L.
Herstand; Amy E.; Edith, wife of M.
Aston; and Ethel, wife of Henry Willett.
Mr. and Mrs. Young are parents of three children—Kathleen,
who died at the age of six months; Robert, and
John. Fraternally, Mr. Young is a
member of Mad River Lodge, K. P., at Enon; and Springfield
Lodge, U. C. T., No. 23. Politically, he is a Democrat.
He and his wife are consistent members of the Lutheran

CHARLES ADDISON
YOUNG, who has a fine farm of 265 acres in Mad River
Township, Clark County, Ohio, is traveling representative of
the Peters Cartridge Company of Cincinnati, and is famed
throughout the United States and Canada as a champion gun
shot. In 1893, in competition with the world's
greatest marksmen at Detroit, Michigan, he won the
championship of the United States and Canada at artificial
targets, breaking 99 of a possible 100 birds. In 1904
he won the live bird championship of the United States and
Canada, killing 124 out of a possible 125 pigeons. In
addition he has won numerous medals and cups in competition
in different parts of the country.
Mr. Young was born in Frederick County,
Maryland, Sept. 10, 1866, and is a son of William A. and
Sophia E. (Strawsburg) Young, the former a native of
Frederick County, Maryland, and the latter of Washington
County, Maryland. In 1866 William A. Young,
with his wife and only child, our subject, came to Ohio,
first stopping at Vandalia a short time and thence going to
Mad River Township, Clark County, where they rented of
Susan Funderburg a part of the farm Charles A. Young
now lives upon. He had farmed up to this time, but
subsequently engaged in the agricultural implement business
at Springfield, going back and forth between his farm and
store each day. He was quite successful and continued
thus occupied until his death, in 1899, at the age of
fifty-two years. Mrs. Young, after the
demise of her husband, carried on the business in
partnership with her son, under the name and style of
Young & Young, and still resides on the old home
place.
Charles A. Young was six months of age when
brought by his parents to Clark County. He was reared
on the home farm, and after completing the prescribed course
of study in the district school, was a student for some time
at Nelson's Business College, Springfield. He then became
identified with his father in the agricultural implement
business as Young & Son, and later with his mother as
Young & Young, continuing in the business for
thirteen years. In his boyhood he took great delight in
shooting, being naturally a good marksman. His
enthusiasm and persistence developed him into an expert, and
his success at the traps attracted the attention of the
manufacturers. He accepted a position as demonstrator
with the Baker Arms Company, of Batavia, New York, remaining
with them three years. He was then with the Robin Hood
Powder Company, of Swanton, Vermont, two years, and since
1904 has been connected with the Peters Arms Company, of
Cincinnati, Ohio. He has given exhibitions of shooting
in every town of any importance in the United States, and in
the larger towns and cities of Canada, working in the South
during the winter months, and in the North during the
summer. Of the 265 acres owned by Mr. Young,
his first purchase was the David Funderburg
place of 100 acres, of which the old home place forms a
part, and on which is located "Enon Mound." The
remainder of his farm is made up of the R. L. Miller,
Eliza Haines and John Harshman places, which he
purchased at different times. He built his present
commodious residence, which is on the north side of the
Dayton Pike, seven miles west of Springfield, and many other
substantial improvements.
In March, 1888, Mr. Young married Ida
May Winget, a daughter of Daniel and
Minerva (Albin) Winget, both natives of Clark County,
Ohio. Squire Winget lives at Enon and has
served as Justice of the Peace for many years. Four
children were born of this union: Chella Fern,
Thurl, Reba, and Rolla.
Fraternally Mr. Young is a member of Lodge No.
51, B. P. O. E. ; Tribe No. 711, Knights of Abel, at New
Haven, Connecticut; and also of an order for marksmen known
as "Indian Lodge," its membership being limited to seventy
in the United States.

LEMUEL L. YOUNG,
who is engaged in general farming on a well improved farm of
seventy-two acres, located on the Urbana turnpike, about
seven miles north of the center of Springfield, was born
Apr. 11, 1861, in Moorefield Township, on the old Young
homestead, and is a son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Hullinger)
Young.
JACOB YOUNG was born in
Baltimore, Maryland, and when a boy came to Clark County
with a Mr. Bullinger and family, for whom he
worked for some time, and then found employment at Baker's
Mill. This mill he operated for several years after
his marriage, and then purchased the old Young
homestead farm of one hundred and twenty-four acres, in
Moorefield Township, which he successfully conducted until
his death, at the age of eighty-two years. Jacob
Young was married twice, and had one son by the first
union, Samuel, who is deceased. His second
marriage, which occurred in Clark County, was with
Elizabeth Hullinger, who was born and reared in
Terre haute, a small village in Champaign County, Ohio, and
was a daughter of Abraham Hullinger, a prosperous
farmer of that county. Thirteen children were born of
his second union, eleven of whom are still living.
Lemuel Luther Young was reared in Moorefield
Township and received his educational training in the
district schools enjoying one term's tuition under
William M. Rockel, editor of this work, who was then a
teacher in the Moorefield Township schools. At the age
of about nineteen years he left home and obtained work at
the Lagonda shops where he continued for several years after
his marriage. He then lived for several years on a
farm of fifty-one and eighty-six hundredths acres, which was
situated in Moorefield Township, on the county line
separating Champaign and Clark Counties, which he sold after
the death of his first wife. Prior to 1903, he worked
again in Lagonda, and then bought his present well improved
farm in Moorefield Township, where he has since been
successfully engaged in general farming.
Mr. Young was first united in marriage
with Lizzie Benedick, who died in 1899.
She was a daughter of John Benedick, a well
known farmer of Moorefield Township. One child was
born of this union, namely, Mabel R., who lives in
Springfield. In 3903 Mr. Young married
May Goode, who was reared in Champaign County, Ohio,
and is a daughter of Isaac and Anna (Leips) Goode,
well known residents of Urbana. Mr. and Mrs. Young
have one child, Lemuel Luther, Jr. Mr. Young
is a member of the order of Knights of Pythias, No. 205
Springfield.
