FRANK E. YOUNG.

Frank E. Young was born on September 15, 1860, on the home farm in Knox county, Ohio. He is the only child of Charles A. and Angeline (Armstrong) Young, the father born in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, May 10, 1827, and his death occurred on February 14, 1908, but the mother is still living, making her home on the old place with her son. The father became one of the substantial and well known farmers of Knox county, and farmer on a large scale and handled large numbers of live stock from year to year, devoting his entire life to farming, making sheep raising a specialty. He was an influential factor in public affairs and a loyal Democrat, and he was active in the Masonic order and the Congregational church, a good and useful man, whom the community will miss for many years to come. A complete sketch of him appears on another page.

Frank Young was married on November 26, 1884, to Nannie M. Merrin, daughter of George and Lodema (Irwin) Merrin, a prominent family of Morris township, this county, where Mr. Merrin has a valuable farm, and there Mrs. Young grew to womanhood and she received her education in the country and Mt. Vernon high schools.

Two daughters have graced the union of Mr. and Mrs. Young, namely: Florence M. and Mabel I., both educated at Oberlin College, where they made excellent records, and they have always been popular in local social circles.

Politically, Mr. Young is a Democrat, and while he takes the interest of a good citizen in public affairs and his support may always be depended upon in furthering any worthy cause, he is not a seeker after public favors or the emoluments of offices within the gift of the people, preferring to devote his exclusive interests to the home farm. Mrs. Young and daughters are members of the Congregational church of Mt. Vernon.
