YOUNG, EVERETT, BRADFORD



John YOUNG, lumberman and builder, was born in New Hampshire March 24,

1842, and is one of nine children born to Benjamin and Melinda (EVERETT)

YOUNG.  Our subject remained at home until he was eighteen years of age,

and received his early education in the district schools of New Hampshire.

After immigrating to Illinois he attended a graded school, where he

received a good practical education, and after this he was engaged in

farming and threshing for several years.   He was in the army, and served

several years in the quartermaster's department.  In 1867 he came to

Lincoln County, and settled at Flintville, where he purchased some

property.  In 1870 he wedded Sarah M. BRADFORD, and the fruits of this

union were five children, four of whom are living:  Sarah, George, John and

James.  In 1879 Mr. YOUNG purchased a milling property, and has since been

engaged in sawing lumber and grinding grain.  Although commencing life with

but little of this world's goods, Mr. YOUNG now owns, exclusive of town and

mill property, about 200 acres of land near Flintville. The father of our

subject was born in New Hampshire about 1810, and was of English origin.

He received a good business education, and engaged in agricultural

pursuits.  In 1856 he moved to Illinois, and is living there at the present

time.  The mother of our subject was also born in New Hampshire, about

1810, and is still living.
