HENRY D. YOUNG, a thriving young farmer of Suffield township, was born in Summit county, Ohio, March 11, 1861, a son of David and Catherine (Mishler) Young. He received his early education in the public school, which he attended until he reached the age of twenty, and here he passed his life on his father's farm, until his twenty-first year, when he commenced farming for himself. He was married, October 4, 1881, to Miss Emma Schrantz, daughter of Alfred and Fiana (Martin) Schrantz, and to their union was born a family of five children, viz: Ellen, January 5, 1883; Harvey, November 12, 1886; Della, June 24, 1891; Bessie, April 16, 1894, and Lottie, October 1, 1896. In the spring of 1886, Mr. Young removed to the farm which he now occupies, and he and family are faithful members of the German Baptist church.
The parents of our subject were both natives of Lancaster county, Pa. In the days of his early manhood, the father learned the trade of a potter, and followed that trade for a number of years after coming to Summit county, Ohio. He afterward engaged in farming, and in 1865, he came to Portage, where he has since resided. He was married June 28, 1849, to Miss Catherine Mishler, daughter of Henry and Nancy (Eberly) Mishler, and six children came to bless their union, of whom only three remain: Nancy, wife of Benjamin Mishler; Henry D., and Lovina, wife of Samuel Royer; those passed away were Maria, who died in 1861, aged ten years, Louisa, who died in 1861, aged eight years, and Lizzie, who died in 1861, aged two years - these three all having died within a week of that dread disease, diptheria. Mr. [David] Young, father of our subject, was ordained as a minister of the German Baptist church in which he is still preaching, also being an elder of the church; both parents reside in Suffield township....

...Henry Mishler, the maternal grandfather of our subject [Henry D. Young], was also a native of Pennsylvania and emigrated to Ohio when a small boy. He afterward located in Portage county, where he engaged in farming. He was married to Miss Nancy Eberly, and eleven children blessed this union, eight of whom are living, viz: Annie (wife of Michael Rabenstine), Susan (wife of William Mills), Catherine (wife of David Young), Jacob, Elizabeth (wife of Daniel Merkley), Martha (wife of Emanuel Bellinger), Emma (wife of Joseph Stevens), and Fiana (wife of Richard F. Adams). Those who have passed on before were Henry, Oliver, and Polly....
