Hazleton Standard Speaker, Monday, November 16, 1964:
A noted artist who summered at Drifton for many years and was an intimate of Whistler and Monet, passed away over the weekend. Charles Morris Young, 95, of Hare's lane, Radnor, a painter noted for landscapes and marinescapes, died Saturday at his home. Mr. Young, whose late wife was the former Eliza Middleton Coxe, spent summers at his Windy Hill home at Drifton until recent years. A son, Philip F. Young, presently lives at Windy Hill.
Born in Gettysburg, Young began painting at the age of 16. He carved souvenir canes, etched with civil war scenes and sold them for 50 cents each, to pay for his tuition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Despite his advanced age, Young remained an active painter and even played golf on his 94th birthday. Mr. Young painted the Maine seacoast, the farmlands of Connecticut, and the Pennsylvania countryside, with its fox hunts and old stone houses. He also painted portraits. Two years ago his house burned down, with 300 of his finest canvases. He moved to the barn and reproduced three of his major paintings. He continued painting almost to the end of his long life. Mr. Young was described as "an American Impressionist." His main concern was with light playing over the forms of nature. A son, Christopher Young, a motion picture producer, has completed a film on his father's life, entitled, "Nature Is My Mistress." The artist studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Academy Colarossi in Paris. He was a friend of Monet, Whistler and Mary Cassat. His work is in the Pennsylvania Academy, the Corcoran Gallery, the National Gallery of Budapest, the Albright Art Gallery, the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery, the National Gallery in Santiago, Chile, and many private collections. He was an associate of the National Academy of Design and a member of the Philadelphia Art Club.
Surviving are three other sons, Arthur M., Philip F. and Brinton C., and a grandson.
