Author: History of Grundy County 1882

Edwin B. Young, editor of the Gardner "Enterprise", is the eldest son of 
William B. and Ellen A. Young; he was born in the town of Chatham, Middlesex 
Co., Conn., May 22, 1858, and was educated at the high school in his native 
town. He has one brother, Howard P. Young, born October 12, 1870. In the 
spring of 1874, the family moved West, and settled in Clifton, Iroquois 
County, this State. Here the "Enterprise" was started by the present publisher 
in October, 1876. The family wishing a change of country, moved to Gardner, in 
the fall of 1878, where the paper has since been published. The "Enterprise", 
which started as a four-column folio, has been enlarged from time to time, and 
is now a large sheet of eight columns to the page, enjoying a good run of 
advertising and a large subscription list. Its editor is unmarried, and 
resides with his parents and brother.
