				L. C. YOUNG. 

	L. C. Young was born in Floyd county, Iowa, March 16, 1890, a son 
of Adam and Anna (Fenzloff) Young, both of whom we e natives of 
Germany. The father was born in 1863 and was a son of John Young, who 
was a nurseryman and died in Charles City, Iowa, in 1908. The family 
came to the United States during the boyhood days of Adam Young, who in 
early manhood took up the trades of painting and decorating, which he 
followed throughout his remaining days. He was married in Charles City, 
Iowa, to Miss Anna Fenzloff, who was born in 1867, a daughter of Carl 
Fenzloff, who is a stonemason by trade and now makes his home in 
Guthrie, Oklahoma. It was during her girlhood days that Mrs. Young was 
brought to the new world. She still survives but in 1908 she was called 
upon to mourn the loss of her husband, who was a consistent and 
faithful member of the German Lutheran church and was also a valued 
member of the Modern Woodmen of America. His political allegiance was 
given to the republican party. In his family were four children: 
Irving, who is a job printer of Rapid City, South Dakota; L C.; Nettie, 
the wife of Roy Binkie, a mechanic of Charles City, Iowa; and Hazel. 

	Reared in Charles City, L. C. Young completed his education by 
graduation from the high school with the class of 1908. He afterward 
learned the printer's trade there and later went to Spokane, 
Washington, where he was employed in a printing office. On the 1st of 
February, 1914, he arrived in Waubay and purchased a controlling 
interest in the Waubay Advocate, conducting that newspaper until August 
1915, when he disposed of his interest therein to Rome Walker, of 
Nebraska, who will continue to publish the paper. It has a circulation 
of seven hundred and is liberally patronized in its job printing 
department. 

	Mr. Young is a republican in his political views, while his 
fraternal affiliation is with the Knights of Pythias. He is a young man 
who in marking out his path in life has chosen wisely and well those 
things which make for upright manhood and for honorable success.
