History Of Hickory, Polk, Cedar, Dade And Barton Counties, Missouri, 1889; 
Published by Goodspeed, Pgs. 848, 849

William Marshall Young, one of Center Township's successful and 
enterprising farmers, was born in Dade County, Mo., in 1845, and is
the son of Isom A. and Mary M. (McLemore) Young, and grandson of 
Matthew M. and Elizabeth (Neal) Young.  Matthew Young was born in 
South Carolina, and when young went to Tennessee, where he remained 
until 1860, when he moved to Hamilton County, Ill., and there died 
four years later.  His wife, Elizabeth Neal, was a native of Ireland.  
Isom A. Young was born in Monroe County, Tenn., in 1822, and moved to 
Dade County, Mo., in 1842, where, the following year, he married 
Miss Mary M., daughter of Archibald and Sarah (Plumley) McLemore, 
who were natives of North Carolina, and Knox County, Tenn., 
respectively.  Her father died in 1825, and the mother the year 
previous.  Mrs. Young was born in Monroe County, Tenn., in 1823, and
is the mother of eight children: William Marshall, Mary (deceased), 
wife of Jerome McClure; Martha (deceased); Virginia, wife of Harry H. 
Finley; Monroe, in Washington Township; Madora, wife of John O. Mitchell;
and Matthew L., furniture dealer in Greenfield.  Immediately after his 
marriage, Isom A. Young located on Sac River, for miles northeast of 
the county seat, and there passed the remainder of his life.  He came 
to Dade County when it was in a wild state, with but few white 
settlements, and when wild game was plentiful.  He came without money,
but with a large reserve of latent energy, which, put into play, soon 
placed him beyond the reach of want.  At the time of his death, which
occurred April 10, 1885, he was the owner of 880 acres of land, and 
was one of the best citizens of Dade County.  As a memento, he left 
behind him a good name and a highly respected family.  In 1870 William 
Marshall Young married Miss Dialtha McClure, a native of Dade County, 
Mo., born in 1848, and the daughter of Frank McClure.  To Mr. and Mr. 
Young were born seven children: Martha L., Viola M., Frank J., Ruthy F.,
Marshall A., Mathew Boyd and Lucy V.  In December, 1888, for the purpose
of educating his children, Mr. Young moved on the farm where he now 
lives, which consists of sixty-five acres.  He also owns 391 acres on 
Sac River.  He is one of the county's best farmers and most successful 
men, dealing quite extensively in raising stock.  He is a Democrat in 
politics.  Mrs. Young is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
