Young, Louis, hotelkeeper, Kellogg, is a native of Luxemburg, Germany, and
was born March 10, 1843. In 1850 his parents, Peter and Barbara (Rausch)
Jung, emigrated to America and settled on a farm near Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. Here, in the old log schoolhouse, young Louis received a common
English education. When seventeen years old he entered a grocery store at
Grandville station as a clerk, and soon after went to Chicago, where he
was employed as a barkeeper. In 1862, being then but eighteen years old,
he entered Bat. M, 1st Ill. Light Art., and served over three years as
United States soldier. Participated in thirteen battles and forty-two
skirmishes, being twice slightly wounded, and was honorably discharged
September 2, 1865. The most important engagements wherein he was an actor
were those at Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge, Resaca and
Allatoona. During his service he was confined in hospital eight months,
his life being several times given up by his surgeon. Only his
determination saved his life. After the close of the war he came to
Minnesota, and shortly opened a hotel in Winona. January 16, 1868, he
married Margaret Apelding, born in Luxemburg in September, 1848. Mrs.
Young's father, Peter Apelding, is now one of the most substantial
citizens of Rollingstone, Winona county. In 1872 Mr. Young came here and
purchased the only building on the site of Kellogg. To this he has made
additions, and is known to a large number of travelers for the excellence
of his table. He was reared in the Catholic church, and adheres to the
democratic party; served as village trustee in 1882-3. His offspring were
christened John, Mary, Henry and Louis.
