M.
C. YOUNG. Though a resident of
Hancock county only fourteen years the above named
gentleman is well established as one of the
enterprising farmers of Big Lick township. The
family from which he comes is of German origin, and
its representatives have been people of such quiet
worth as to deserve more than passing notice.
George Young, a successful farmer of Stark
county, Ohio, died at the age of eighty-eight years,
leaving a son named Daniel. The latter,
a native of Stark county, was also a farmer by
occupation, and died in the place of his nativity
when sixty-four years old. He married Mary
Darr, who still survives, and whose children
gave her a surprise party Sept. 3. 1902, in honor of
her eighty-third birthday. M. C. Young,
one of the children of this venerable lady, was born
in Stark county, Ohio, June 18, 1854, and lived
there until the thirty-fourth year of land in Union
township which constitutes his present homestead and
which he devotes to general farming and stock
raising. He ranks well both as a farmer and
business man, while all admit that in his line there
is no better mechanic in the county than J. H.
Benner.
In 1870 he married Mary P., daughter of John
C. and Elizabeth Smith, and the result of this
union was an only son, whose birth occurred in 1871.
This son, whose name is William S. Benner,
grew to be an industrious and worthy man and is
associated with, his father in cultivating the home
farm. In 1890 he married Miss Mary Jackall,
by whom he has had six children, and of these there
are five living. The family are members of the
Methodist Protestant church, in which the father
holds the position of trustee.
