John C. Young, son of George and Anna Young, was born June 3, 1840 in Glengarry County, Canada, where he lived until twenty-three years of age. In 1863, he came, via Panama, to California. Upon his arrival, he went directly to Plumas County and spent the winter in the north arm of Indian Valley. In the spring of 1864, he went to Greenville, where he mined two years. In 1866, he went to Idaho and lived four years, after which he went to White Pine, Nevada, where he was engaged for two years at mining, milling, and teaming. He returned to Plumas County in December 1873. During 1874, he was occupied in running a tunnel for the North Fork Mining Company, but in the spring of 1875, he came again to Taylorville and went into the general merchandise business with his brother, W. G. Young. In 1879, he bought his brother out and has since conducted the business alone. He was married October 29, 1879 to Miss Ella Cottingham, whose parents are old residents of Indian Valley. They have one child, Marian, born October 18, 1880. Mr. Young is postmaster at Taylorville and agent for the Western Union Telegraph Company.
Note 1: John's mother is referred to as 'Anna' in the above biography. While no other record seems to suggest that his mother was anything but Nancy Ann, it is possible that she used the nickname 'Anna' occasionally.
Note 2: In the biography above, what the author must have meant by 'he bought his brother out' is that he bought his brother's half of the business from his brother's estate (W. G. Young already was deceased in 1879). That, or the author had the year wrong and John bought his brother's half of the business before 09 Jun 1878.
