C. Farr (editor, 1918) THOMAS I. YOUNG.—An enterprising and enthusiastic young ranchman of Imperial County, Thomas I. Young is intimately associated with the promotion of the agricultural interests near Calexico, being industriously and successfully engaged in alfalfa growing. He has a well-improved place, on which he has erected a fine bungalow, with every modern convenience which may be found in the cities. Thomas I. Young was born in Chicago, October 23, 1888, a son of Daniel W. and Sarah A. Young, both deceased. Mr. Young received his education in the public schools of Chicago and in Wisconsin. His parents removed to Wisconsin when he was young and his father followed farming. Later he removed to Chicago, where he became identified with the contracting business. The subject of this review worked at ranching in Wisconsin, and in October, 1909, he came to California and Imperial County, where he readily found employment at ranching. Finally he purchased twenty acres all in alfalfa, and now carries on general ranching. Mr. Young was united in marriage with Miss Lillie Johnson, August 1, 1910. To this union have been born four children: Lawrence H., Lillie May, Ruth and Thomas I., Jr. Mr. Young is a man of integrity and has up-to-date methods in ranching and has made many friends and acquaintances in his locality.
