ROBERT L. YOUNG GENEALOGY

ALONZO YOUNG, My Great Gtandfather. Born 9/18/1820 at French Creek. Wife Martha Clark, 5 children, 3 boys and 2 girls, including Earl Lyman Young (2nd son) whom I remember as my Grandfather. The Cornelius Clark and Alonzo Young familis moved to Illinois in the 1850s and Alonzo and family lived in what became the home of Orville and Marie Young. Alonzo was a farmer and he died 4/25/1868. His wife Martha held the family together during Alonzo's long illness and for the years after his death. She died 6/1/1891 and both are buried on the south side of Longpoint Cemetery. The Elms and Hart book describes the large crowd that attended Martha's funeral at Woods Chapel Church which my Great Gradfather James C. Dryden had built and the many carriages which accompanied the casket for burial in Longpoint Cemetery. They were also the parents of Edwin Lincoln Young, father of Orville Young and Rufus Young. Orville was the teacher of Maple Grove School plus farming and living in the original Alonzo and Martha farm. Rufus owned a photography shop on the second floor of a building on Broadway in Mattoon, Illinois. I remember going there for picture taking among his ornate antique furniture when I was about 6 years old.
