JOHN H. YOUNG, a prominent dentist of Lapeer, was born in London, 
Canada, September 18, 1870, and is the son of James A. and Mary 
(Harris) Young, both natives of Canada. He is the younger of two sons, 
the elder, Frederic W., having been born in February, 1867. The boyhood 
days of our subject were principally passed in Victoria, British 
Columbia, where he was graduated from the High Schools. When sixteen he 
began to study dentistry and for four years was thus engaged in 
Tillsonburg, Ontario. Thence he went to the Philadelphia Dental 
College, and was graduated from that institution in 1890. In October of 
the same year he located in Lapeer, where he has since resided. In 
June, 1891, he was married to Miss Ada Aline Moore, of Tillsonburg, 
Ontario, and the young couple are highly esteemed in Lapeer and 
vicinity. The Doctor has been an extensive traveler and has visited the 
principal cities of the United States and Canada.

   James A. Young, father of our subject, now lives in Tillsonburg and 
is general agent for Mercer Bros., of Alliston, Ontario, dealers in 
agricultural implements. Grandfather John Young was of Pennsylvania-
Dutch origin and settled in Canada when the present site of London was 
a wilderness. He engaged extensively in farming operations near that 
city. Farther back in the family history the ancestors owned flouring 
mills where Rochester, N. Y., now stands, those being the first mills 
started in that place.

   The brother of our subject, who is now a dental student in his 
office, was born in London, Ontario, and is a graduate of the High 
School of Victoria. Like his brother, he has traveled extensively and 
is well informed on all topics of general interest. At Tillsonburg he 
was engaged as a dealer in agricultural implements and was among the 
most influential business men in that portion of Canada. In partnership 
with his father, he conducted a real-estate business prior to coming to 
Lapeer in 1891. October 24, 1889, he was united in marriage with Miss 
Maggie Enrie, of Tillsonburg, Ontario, and they have one child--Arthur 
H., who was born there November 22, 1890.
