P. W. Young
& Family |
P. W. YOUNG
has been a resident of Washington township, Hardin county, Ohio,
since 1870, and since 1873 has owned and occupied his present
farm of one hundred sixty acres. This place was formerly
known as the "Kreidler farm." Since Mr. Young
came into possession of it he has cleared and placed under
cultivation a hundred and twelve acres. He remodeled the
buildings that were already here and built others, and in a
general way beautified his surroundings. Today he has one
of the best farms in his locality.
Mr. Young is a native of Ohio. He was born
in Knox county, in 1845, son of Eli and Amelia (Rush) Young,
the former a native of Pennsylvania, and the latter of New
Jersey. In their family were seven children: Freeman,
Louis, Emeline, Clara, Sarah, Hannah, and P. W., the
last named being the only one of the number to take up his abode
in Hardin county. The twenty years of his life were passed
in his native county and there he received a common school
education.
The same year he purchased his farm, 1873, he was
united in marriage to Miss Emily J. Vaughn, who was born
in 1853 in Marion county, Ohio, daughter of Thomas Vaughn.
The fruits of their union are two sons and five daughters,
namely: Thomas, a local preacher; Freeman, a
lawyer of Colorado, and professor in a high school in Ft.
Morgan; Catherine, now the wife of E. Shadley;
Corrinna, wife of F. Westervelt; Icy, wife of E.
Hayes; Zella; and Maude, who is the wife of Leroy
Turner, a farmer in Marion.
During his residence in Washington township, Mr.
Young has always taken a deep interest in the welfare of his
community. For twelve years he has been a member of the
school board, and he has also filled the office of supervisor.
The family belong to the Methodist Episcopal church.
