• Residence*: circa 1900; Conc 1 Lot 6 & 7, Murray Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario; "Mr. Young selected the farm (lots 6 and 7, 1st concession, Murray) upon which he lived and died, because of an excellent stream, abundantly fed by springs, which guaranteed an abundance of water with a fall that indicated power that could be speedily utilized by his mechanical ability. He did, at an early day, build a dam and construct a saw-mill ; bravely rebuilding, when his first
  plant, just completed, was swept away by a violent storm. Although a primitive affair, with no steel except the saw itself, it served the purpose of the sturdy pioneer and enabled him to carry on the lumber business, and to manufacture masts, for which he received as much as twenty pounds apiece. The flour mills of Mr. C. 0 .
  Simpson stand upon the old saw mill site, at the present time. Although twice burned, the mill was each time rebuilt; a quantity of lumber was logged down the Bu.y at a £air profit, and the water power was also used to grind grain for neighbors far distant from the grist mills then in the country."
