Young, Charles (page 738), now numbered among the active and enterprising
farmers of Zumbro Township, was born at Eagle Point, Chippewa county,
Wis., December 16, 1894, son of Grant Alba and Grace (Rose) Young. The
father was a native of New Hampshire and the mother of Wisconsin. Grant
Young came to Wisconsin in 1886 and for about five years owned and
operated a flour mill. In 1901 he went to Eagle Point, Wis., where he
built a store and elevator, operating both until 1910. He then sold out
his interests there and removed to Chippewa Falls, where he was president
and manager of the Farmers Produce & Elevator Co. until 1914. Since that
time he has been engaged in the real estate business in Minneapolis and
St. Paul. In 1920 he bought a residence at San Diego, Calif., where he and
his wife are now living. They are the parents of five children: Arthur,
Charles, Lester, Ella and Ruth. The family are connected religiously with
the Methodist Episcopal church. Charles E. Young in his boyhood attended
school at Chippewa Falls, Wis., and later the high school in South
Minneapolis. In Minneapolis he also took a night course in the Central
High School, a course in a business college, and also a course in an
engineering school. For two years he worked for his father as bookkeeper,
drove a car for the Land lumber Co. one year, and was engaged in logging
in Wisconsin for two years. Then for one year he operated a rented farm at
Park Falls, Wis., and afterwards for two years was engaged in agricultural
work at Beaver, Minn. In 1919 he bought 165 acres in Zumbro Township,
Wabasha County (section 34), where he is now residing and carrying on
business as a general farmer, raising grain and stock and some garden
produce. He is planning early improvements on his place, including the
erection of a barn, silo and windmill. Mr. Young was married July 10,
1915, to Mary Altmann, daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Wolfgang Altmann, of
Butternut, Wis. He and his wife are the parents of two children: Helen E.,
born October 28, 1916, and Evelyn R., born April 15, 1918.
