Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

Daniel Young, farmer, section 30, Portland Township, is a son of Adam and 
Elizabeth Young, and was born in Blair Co., Pa., Jan. 6, 1851. In November, 
1853, the family came West, when the senior Young located a part of the land 
on which he now resides, and which lies adjoining the premises of Mr. Daniel 
Young, on the northwest; it is a nice farm of 200 acres. After remaining an 
inmate of his paternal home until he was 19 years of age, the subject of this 
sketch commenced working out as a common laborer, and thus continued until 
1876, when he purchased 87 acres of his present farm, and resided there until 
the spring of 1883; he then bought his present residence and 160 acres of 
land, and having purchased 40 acres in 1881, he has now an aggregate of 287 
acres. He is beginning to make a specialty of Holstein cattle, of which he 
expects to keep about 75 head; also 15 head of graded Clydesdale (Norman) 
horses. Mr. Y. has also run threshing-machines for 16 years. His brother Adam, 
Jr., now owns a third interest in a steam threshing-machine, in partnership 
with him. They have threshed as high as 2,000 bushels of grain in a day. Dec. 
25, 1869, at Morrison, Mr. Young was married to Miss Esther Camerer, a 
daughter of Samuel and Catherine Camerer. She was born near Martinsburg, Pa., 
May 14, 1851. Mr. and Mrs. Young have five children, namely: Albert, who was 
born May 14, 1871; Maud, March 9, 1876; Elmer, Jan. 26, 1878; Hattie, Sept. 
10, 1881; and Edith, Nov. 10, 1884. Mrs. Young's father died when she was a 
little girl, and her mother resides in Pennsylvania.
