  DANIEL M. YOUNG, M. D., has been engaged in the practice of his profession for over one-half a century and is a prominent citizen of Painesville, Lake county, Ohio.  For a score of years he enjoyed the largest practice here, but on account of ill health has been obliged to give up a part of it.  He is a native of Livingston county, New York, born Oct. 23, 1819.  His father, Daniel Young, was born in Norristown, New Jersey, and was of Scotch descent, his father, whose given name was Silas, having emigrated to New Jersey from Scotland prior to the war of the Revolution.  He engaged in agricultural pursuits and resided until his death on his farm near Norristown.
     Daniel Young, Sr., was an early settler in Livingston county, New York, whither he removed as early as 1811.  He became the owner of a large property, which he engaged in cultivating until he was well along in years.  His death occurred when he was in his ninety-third year.  His wife was formerly Elizabeth Roan, a native of Virginia.  She became the mother of three children and died at the age of forty-nine years.
     Dr. Young was the youngest child in his father’s family, and passed his boyhood on the farm.  When seventeen years of age, he began the study of medicine, reading with Dr. S. L. Endros, of Dansville, New York, and afterward attended the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, from which he graduated in 1839.  He then began practice in Weston, Pennsylvania, and was there located for four years, after which he returned to Dansville, Livingston county.  For about two years he was engaged in the army in Mexico, from 1847 to 1848 inclusive.  He finally went to Atlanta, Georgia, where he lived until 1862.  Next coming north he located in Geneva, Ashtabula county, where be remained for some years.  Since 1866, he has been a practicing physician of this city, and for many years he was frequently called into adjoining counties and to Cleveland for consultations with eminent physicians.
     Our subject was first married in 1839 to Louisa Welch, who was born in the Empire State.  To them were born two sons: Harry and Joe, both now deceased.  Some time after the death of Mrs. Young the Doctor married Miss Mary J. Tomson, of New York.  Three children grace this union: Mattie E., Dan R. and Stace F.  Mrs. Young is a member of the Methodist Church.  Our subject casts his ballot in favor of the Republican nominees and measures. No citizen of this community is more highly esteemed or better deserves the confidence and good will of all than he of whom we write, for he has ever striven in every possible manner to promote the prosperity of this city and county, and has been thoroughly identified with its progress.
