Author: Past and Present of Will County, IL; 1907

George G. Young, Jr., is superintendent of the rod mill, No. 3, for the 
Illinois Steel Company at Joliet and his connection with this business covers 
a period of twelve years, during which time he has made rapid and substantial 
advancement, being promoted from one position to another until he now occupies 
a place of prominence in the operation of this great industry. He was born in 
Lanarkshire, Scotland, and is a son of G. G. Young, a shoe merchant living at 
Braidwood, Illinois. His mother bore the maiden name of Annie Gold. George G. 
Young of this review was educated in the common schools and in the Putland 
Business College at Joliet. Entering the employ of the Illinois Steel Company, 
he worked in the billet mill for a year and a half, after which he was 
transferred to the spike mill. Later he secured a situation in No. 3 rod mill 
as assistant roller and five years ago he was assigned to his present position 
as superintendent of rod mill, No. 3. In this connection he is manufacturing 
spike rod and has about fifty men in his employ. Mr. Young has entire charge 
of the department and his long and practical experience well qualifies him for 
the duties that devolve upon him. In 1892, at Braidwood, Mr. Young was united 
in marriage to Miss Rosa Rogers, who was born in Wisconsin, a daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. Josiah Rogers, who came to Will county in 1877. Her father is a miner 
and is active in political circles. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Young have been born two 
children: Avace and Annie, aged respectively thirteen and ten years. Mr. Young 
is a member of the Modern Woodmen camp, the Tribe of Ben Hur and the Masonic 
fraternity and in these connections is well known.
