99TH OVI COMPANY K
ENLISTED 7 AUGUST 1862
MUSTERED OUT 26 JUNE 1865 AT SALISBURY, NORTH CAROLINA
THE 99TH WENT INTO SERVICE WITH 1,021 MEN BUT WAS SO HEAVILY KILLED AND WOUNDED THAT IT WAS CONSOLIDATED WITH THE 50TH OVI.
Frank was the son of Thornton and Lydia Ann Shipman Young and had siblings Lenora and Sarah. He is also the grandson of John Young, a native of Kentucky, and the great-nephew of William Young, who was a friend and companion of Daniel Boone. The Young family is of Scots origin.
Frank M. Young, cashier of the Commercial Banking Company of Bowling Green, and a leading citizen of Wood County, was born September 12, 1845, in Mercer County, Ohio. Until 16 years of age Mister Young made his home at Wapakoneta. Soon after the breaking out of the Civil War, although only a boy, he decided to offer his services in defense of the old flag. He accordingly enlisted, August 7, 1862, for three years, in company K, 99th O.V.I., and served throughout the war, he mustered out with his Regiment June 26, 1865 at Salisbury, North Carolina, with the rank of orderly sergeant. He was sent to Camp Dennison, Ohio, and received his discharge July 17, 1865. The regiment to which he belonged was assigned to the Western division of the Army, and participated in every battle of the campaign, 24 in all, besides many skirmishes. After the fall of Fort Fisher the Regiment was assigned to the Eastern division, and marched through the Southern States, taking part in all engagements in that section. The 99th went into service with 1021 men, but lost so heavily, in killed and wounded, that although several times recruited, it was so reduced in number that it was finally consolidated with the 50th O.V.I., and it was as Sergeant in that regiment that our subject was serving at the time of his discharge.
After the close of the war Mister Young settled in Plattsburg Missouri. Here he was employed in the office of the clerk and county recorder until 1871, when he returned to Ohio for the purpose of assisting his father, who was then in feeble health. He located in Weston, where, in 1872, he was married to miss Hattie Baldwin, who was born in Perrysburg, Ohio, August 8, 1852. Three children have blessed this union: Mabel, Charles, and Robert. After his marriage Mister Young was engaged in the insurance business until 1877, when he was appointed to a position in the US revenue office at Toledo, and removed his family to Perrysburg. He was "civil serviced" out of position for participating in politics, and returned to Weston. Having been elected probate judge in 1884, he removed to Bowling Green, which has since been his home. In 1892 Mister Young was made secretary of the American Foundry & Machine Co. on December 15, 1892, he was appointed cashier of the Commercial Banking Company, which responsible position he continues to hold to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Mister Young is a strong Republican and as may be inferred from his war record, is an active member of the G. A. R., of which he founded the first post under the new rules in Wood County, at Weston. He is also a member of the Masonic Order, I.O.O.F., and Royal Arcanum. He is deeply interested in whatever pertains to the welfare of his community, and is one of its most highly respected citizens.
