  Young, Frank W., was born at Mendota, Ill., on July 20, 1867. His 
conversion occurred in December, 1886, during union meetings in the 
city of Binghamton conducted by Dwight L. Moody. The call to the 
ministry came some time after conversion, and was not readily assented 
to, as he was ambitious for a business career. After four years, in 
which he had severe struggles with self, he became submissive to the 
divine will. In the spring of 1891 he entered Wyoming Seminary. After 
his work here he entered Drew Theological Seminary, from which he 
graduated in 1896. He received local preacher's license from the 
Tabernacle Church, Binghamton, on December 9, 1890, and deacon's orders 
from the Newark Conference in 1895. He united with this conference in 
1896.
  On October 1, 1889, he married Miss Cora F. Dunckell.  
  His pastorates have been as follows: 1896-98, Clark's Summit; 1899-
1902, Dallas; 1903, Montrose.
