DONALD A. YOUNG

     The legal profession in Salem has a worthy exponent in Donald A. Young, one
of the leaders among the younger members of the bar, and his success since
locating here has won him many warm admirers in city and county. Mr. Young was
born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the 31st of January, 1894, and is a son of
Edward F. and Mary Ann (Springer) Young. The father died in Minnesota and the
mother subsequently went to Portland, Oregon, where she now resides.
     Donald A Young received a good preliminary education in the public schools
of Minneapolis, and then entered the law department of the University of
Minnesota, where he was graduated in 1917. In that year he enlisted in the
Engineers Corps of the United States Army, from which he was later transferred
the Signal Corps, and finally to the air service, in which he served until
receiving his honorable discharge, in March, 1919, with the rank of first
lieutenant. On his return to civil life he engaged in the practice of law in
Minneapolis, where he remained until 1921, when he went to Portland, Oregon, and
in the following year came to Salem as attorney for the World War Veterans'
State Aid Commission. He also engaged in the private practice of law,
specializing in corporation and real property law. He gained quick recognition
as an able and efficient attorney, meeting with marked success in the handling
of his cases. He now enjoys a large practice and has been connected as counsel
with a number of important cases in the courts of this county.
	On December 1, 1920, Mr. Young was united in marriage to Miss Opal Van
Delinder of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He gives his political support to the
republican party and is a Scottish Rite Mason; a Noble of the Mystic Shrine, a
member of the American Legion, and of the Country Club and the Chamber of
Commerce. A man of unquestioned motives, sincere utterance and cordial manner,
he has won an enviable place in the estimation of all who know him.
