Born 1861, Moorefield Township
From 20th century history of Springfield, and Clark County, Ohio, and representative citizens (1908)
LEMUEL LUTHER YOUNG, who is engaged in general fai-ming on a well improved farm of seventy-two acres, located on the Trbana turnpike, about seven miles north of the center of Springfield, was born April 11, 1861, in Moorefield Township, on the old Young homestead, and is a son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Hullinger) Young.
Jacob Young was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and when a boy came to Clark County with a Mr. Bullinger and family, for whom he-worked for some time, and then found employment at Baker's Mill. This mill he operated for several years after his marriage, and then purchased the old Young homestead farm of one hundred and twenty-four acres, in Moorefield Township, which he successfully conducted until his death, at the age of eighty-two years. Jacob Young was married twice, and had one son by the first union, Samuel, who is deceased. His second marriage, which occurred in Clark County, was with Elizabeth Hullinger, who was born and reared in Terrehaute, a small village in Champaign County, Ohio, and was a daughter of Abraham Hullinger, a prosperous farmer of that county. Thirteen children were born of his second union, eleven of whom are still living.
Lemuel Luther Young was reared in Moorefield Township and received his educational training in the district schools enjoying one term's tuition under William M. Rockel, editor of this work, who was then a teacher in the Moorefield Township schools. At the age of about nineteen years he left home and obtained work at the Lagonda shops where he continued for several years after his marriage. He then lived for several years on a farm of fifty-one and eighty-six hundredths acres, which was situated in Moorefield Township, on the county line separating Champaig-n and Clark Counties, which he sold after the death of his first wife. Prior to 1903, he worked again in Lagonda, and then bought his present well improved farm in Moorefield Township, where he has since been successfully engaged in general farming.
