JOHN N. YOUNG
    was another brother of the two preceding soldiers (Frank & Enoch). He
was, like them, a native of Pittsficld, where he was born August 24, 1844,
and with them enlisted in Company G, Fifteenth New Hampshire volunteers,
and was detailed as attendant to Captain Osgood. He performed his duties
faithfully, whether in camp, on the march, or on the field of battle. He
took part in the Siege of Port Hudson, and in several engagements in which
his regiment participated. His genial, happy disposition drove away the
homesickness from many a soldier's mind and made his presence a blessing to
all.
     His present residence is Newark, N. J.
