General Notes: Husband - William Thomas Young

---

He was educated primarily at the Emlenton schools, later taking a course in mathematics and mechanics at Grove City College, and continuing his higher studies as opportunity allowed. He taught school in Scrubgrass Township, Venango County, PA, for a time, but eventually entered the machine shop of the H. K. Porter locomotive works as an apprentice and for seven years followed the trade of machinist, at different places, including the plant of the Bullock Electric Company at Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Westinghouse Electric Company at Pittsburgh. As he familiarized himself more and more with the practical part of the work he became interested in its technical study and took a course in Duquesne College, Pittsburgh. Coming to Oil City March 20, 1901, he was engaged as draftsman during the construction of the Imperial Oil Works of the Oil Well Supply Company, and remained with that concern seven years in all, during six years of which period he had charge of the drawing room. The next year he was with the National Transit Company as draftsman, and he has since been in the service of the United Natural Gas Company, with whom he started as erecting engineer of gas compressing stations, gradually advancing to his present responsibilities.
Mr. Young belonged to the National Security League and to the Masonic fraternity, holding membership in Allegheny Valley Lodge, No. 552, F. and A. M., of Emlenton; Chapter No. 211, R. A. M., of Franklin; Talbot Commandery, No. 43, K. T., of Oil City; Venango Lodge of Perfection, fourteenth degree, of Oil City; and Holly Chapter, O. E. S., of Oil City. Politically he believed in the principles of the Democratic Party, but he was independent about supporting men or measures, choosing those which appeal to him most. [CAB, 695]
