A biographical sketch on William M. Young, b. Oct 2, 1813, d. June 16, 1893

From “Biographical and Historical Record of Putnam County, Indiana”, The Lewis Publishing Company, 1887.

William M. Young, a retired farmer residing at Carpentersville, was born in Montgomery County, Kentucky, October 2, 1813, son of Thomas Young, a native of the same county and now deceased. He was reared on a farm and educated in the log school-house with split logs for seats, puncheon floors, greased paper for windows and a huge fireplace at one end of the room, with mud-and-stick chimney. There was also a clapboard roof with knees and weight poles. When sixteen years of age he learned the blacksmith’s trade, which he followed twenty years. He came to this county in 1835, settling in Franklin Township, which has since been his home, and where he has followed farming until within a few years. The Cornstalk Indian town was near his place, although the tribe left the year previous to his locating here. These Indians buried their dead in pens made of poles daubed with mud and covered with puncheons. Afterward the whites buried the bones in the ordinary manor. Mr. Young had a strong constitution and did an immense amount of hard work. He has attended as many as twenty log-rollings in one season. He was married in July, 1835, to Miss Mary Black, and of their eight children, seven are living – Sarah E., Margaret, Amanda, Burilla, Dulcina, Thomas D. and Marshall. After the death of Mrs. Young, Mr. Young married Ann E. Rhoads, daughter of George Rhoads. Mr. Young was township trustee one term and trustee of Carpentersville two terms. His mother died in this county January 24, 1847, and his father, March 4, 1860. Himself and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church.
