three years, after which he resided with his children until his
death, which occurred in January. 1859. Mr. Youtsey
lived with his father until 20 years, of age. Nov. 9, 1843, he
was united in marriage with Sarah Ann Saunders,
daughter of William and Elizabeth
(Sheets) Saunders, by which union they have had eleven
children, of whom five are now living, viz., Maria
Ellen, now Mrs.

settling on a farm where he now resides. When Mr.
Youtsey was married and started out in life, he was
possessed of barely enough means to keep house and live in the
most humble style; now he owns five good farms, embracing 724
acres, all excellent land, and most of the farms have good
improvements with excellent buildings; on his home place he has
a large, fine house, which he built since he located upon the
farm. This large amount of property has mostly been accumulated
