General Notes: Husband - William Alexander Younie


He was born in Sugar Grove township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, and attended the public schools of Sugar Grove where his boyhood and early life were spent on the home farm. He enlisted in 1864 in Company G, 211th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, serving nine months, until the close of the war, receiving an honorable discharge at Harrisburg, where his regiment was mustered out. He returned to Sugar Grove and resumed farming, continuing until the oil excitement drew him to Pithole, Pennsylvania, where for two years he conducted a meat market. He next entered partnership with William Weld, built a saw mill and began lumbering in Warren County. After one year he bought Mr. Weld's interest, continuing the lumber business alone for several years. He then purchased the one hundred acre farm first owned by his father and lived there until the purchase of another farm, known as the old Robert Gray farm, where he then resided. He was a Democrat in politics and served as road commissioner and constable. He was a member of the Masonic order.
