JAMES F. YOUNG,
farmer, post-office West Middlesex, was born in 1847 in Pymatuning
Township, Mercer Co., Penn., but was reared and educated in Shenango
Township. His parents were John and Mary (Mitcheltree) Young. The
father of our subject was a native of Ireland, settled in Pymatuning
Township about 1828, and was married about 1845. In 1854 he removed to
Shenango Township, and settled where our subject now lives, about one
mile west of the borough, on the West Middlesex and Hubbard road. They
had three children: Margaret, Lewis and James. The father died in
1855, the mother surviving him, and resides with our subject. Mr. Young
is engaged in farming, which occupation he has always followed. He was
married in 1870 to Miss Catherine Young, a daughter
of James Young, of the County Tyrone, Ireland, by whom he
has seven children: Rebecca J., John H., Andrew E., James A.,
Sadie, Fred and Charley. Our subject is a member of the
Presbyterian Church of West Middlesex, and one of the young progressive
farmers of his township.
