**********************************************************************

E. B. Young, furniture merchant and dealer in undertakers' goods at
Mansfield, Mo., was born in Wright County, Mo., in 1854, and is a 
son of Fielding M. and Margaret E. (Montgomery) Young, who were born
in Indiana and one of the Eastern States, respectively.  The father
grew to manhood and followed farming and merchandising in Wright Co.,
and there died about 1858.  His wife died in 1870, aged forty years,
having borne a family of six children. (For paternal genealogy, see 
sketch of Mrs. A. M. Young, and for the maternal genealogy, see 
sketch of Prof T. J. Montgomerie.)  E. B. Young grew to manhood in
Phelps county, and was educated at Richland, Mo., in the graded
schools.  He has been dependent on his own resources since the death
of his mother, when he was sixteen years of age, and, with the aid 
of a patrimony which he received, he has been successful in his busi-
ness ventures.  For a number of years he worked at various occupations
in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri, and followed saw miling
for two years in Texas.  In 1881 he came to Missouri, and went into
business in Hartville, the firm being known as E. B. Young & Co., and
then came to Mansfield, and entered business in November, 1882, and
here has since remained.  He has recently taken William Hopper as a 
partner, and the firm is now styled the Hopper Furniture Co., their
stock being valued at $1,500.  Mr. Young owns a good lot and residence,
and a half interest in the store.  In April, 1886, he married Miss Ada
Gorman, a daughter of M. D. Gorman, of Hartville, Mo., by whom he has
one child, Virdie Mabel.
