   JOSIAH G. YOUNKEN farmer, florist and fruit-grower, P.O. 
Richlandtown, was born in 1827, and was married in 1853 to 
Miss Minnich, daughter of Joseph and Sarah Minnich, of 
Allentown.  Our subject was born and reared in this county, 
and after finishing a course of two years at Quakertown 
school, began teaching, which occupation he followed for 
twelve years.  He has nine children:  Oswin A., Charles E., 
Milton A., Alice H., Ida S., Lizzie Jane, Titus C., David J. 
and John F.   In 1859 he purchased the farm of his father.  
Mr. Younken is extensively engaged in fruit growing, and his 
botanical garden is filled with the choicest of flowers.
