Mr. Youngs career demonstrates what a man with health energ>- and (93) • perseverance, but with little wealth is able to do for himself. In the aut-umn of 1892, Mr. Young and his family, with six horses a few cattle andsome little household goods, settled on his homestead in the extreme southeast corner of Pioneer township. Since that time he has bought fourquarters of land, two in Pioneer township and two in Alcona 1 ?jiIIIj, ,1^^ ^^-z ^.M^M.^ A wmm^^ %? just across the line of Rooks county. He has these 800 acres fenced andcrossed fenced. Mr. Young has a fine field of alfalfa and is sowing 33acres more this spring. The farm is well stocked with cattle, horses and hogs. In addition to his comfortable seven roomed house and various otherbuildings on the home place he has a three roomed house on his Rookscounty land, which his oldest son occupies. In addition to doing her fullshare as a help mate in making this farm home, Mrs. Young has sold (94) $3,000 worth of chickens, eggs and butter in their thirteen years residencein Graham county. Mr. Young deserves more than ordinary credit forthe remarkable success he has achieved. Aside from owning one of thebest farms in the southeast part of the county, he has a substantial bankaccount and a credit of which any one might be proud. Nathan Williams.
