"Francis and Emma Young
In 1898, the house was sold to the Young family: Francis (1854 – 1921) and Emma (1857 - 1945). The Youngs were from Fort Atkinson, where "Frank" had made his fortune in hardware, farm machinery, and cattle buying. The family was also related to Fort Atkinson's Aaron Ransom Young--one of the first white settlers in Winneshiek County.
When the Youngs moved into the stately Italianate Villa at 401 West Broadway, they brought their 18-year-old daughter, Grace (1880 - 1964). Even after their daughter married, and her new husband moved in, Frank and Emma continued to live in the house until their respective deaths."
