YOUNG, HIRAM S., of Farmington, Wash., was born in Indiana in 1851,  
His father, Elisha Young, was a New York farmer, his mother, Sarah 
Young, being a native of Maryland.  Educated in the State of Iowa in 
the days when her system of common-school discipline and instruction 
were far behind the present efficiency, Mr. Young went out into the 
battle of life with less of mere book preparation than falls to the 
average student of these later years.  Emigrating to the then Territory 
of Washington in 1871, he located at what is now known as Farmington,
and engaged in farming and stock-raising, a business which he carried 
on with energy, perseverance, and success until 1884, when he disposed 
of his interests in that direction.  Since then he has been occupied in 
various ways, principally of an official character.  He was married in 
1875 to Miss Rebecca Price, a native of Oregon, but now deceased.  
Mr. Young is a prosperous citizen, having stock in two of the largest 
stores, and also in the bank.  He is a member of the Odd Fellows, and 
in political preference a Republican.
