CHARLES J. YINGLING, merchant, Tiffin, was born in Baltimore, Md., Oct. 26, 1847, and descends from a line of mercantile people on both sides of his parentage. He is the fifth child and second son of Joshua and Margaret (Shriver) Yingling. The former a prominent business man and banker of Westminster, Md., and son of the late Jacob Yingling, a tanner and merchant of Westminster; and the latter a daughter of Hon. Isaac Shriver, banker of Westminster and of pioneer family of the State. The subject of our sketch completed a liberal education in the high schools of Westminster, and at seventeen entered the First National Bank of that place as teller, in which capacity he served with credit for about four years, when he was compelled by ill health to withdraw from the business and to travel through the West, principally in Iowa. Returning, he embarked in the dry goods merchandising with his father, Jan., 1869, firm being known as J. Yingling & Son. In Sept., 1872, he retired from that firm and came to Tiffin and engaged in manufacturing ladies' shoes, which he abandoned just two years later and then purchased his present extensive dry goods business, Mr. Yingling was married, in Taneytown, Md., in Oct., 1875, to Miss Mary E. Rudisel, only surviving child of the late Tobias Rudisel, merchant of that place. To our subject and wife have been born two sons: Tobias Rudisel and Charles Shriver. Mr. Yingling has, since locating here, established an excellent reputation as a business man and citizen. He has cordially supported all measures tending to the progressive development of this locality. He and his wife are estimable members of the Methodist Protestant Church, of which he has been for many years a member, and of which he has served as superintendent of the Sabbath-school, and secretary of the board of stewards. He is a K. T. and a member of the R. A. and K. of P. societies. Mr. Yingling comes from a line of slaveholders, but upon the event of the late war, his people renounced their principles and remained steadfast with the Union tenets for which they had always maintained strong preference.

ALBERT R. YOUNG, furniture manufacturer and dealer. Green Spring, is a native of Adams Twp., born Feb. 14, 1851; son of Charles and Catharine (Spangler) Young, who came from Germany in their youth, first settling in Maryland and in 1845 came to this county, where they died not many years since.

In the spring of 1873 he built a fine hearse and began the undertaking business, which he followed for several years in connection with his trade. In 1878 he was employed by the village council to prepare plans and specifications for the erection of a town hall, the contract for building the same being given to him. He completed the building the following year, and in 1880 he rented room in the same for the furniture store which he still carries on. In the same year he, in partnership with his brother, Daniel W., also built a fine four-story frame factory for manufacturing furniture; this factory was destroyed by fire in the spring of 183, entailing a loss of $14,000.
