Attorney S.C. Young dies at 81
Stanley Colin Young, 81, a practicing attorney in Plumas County for 55 years and former District Attorney here, died in his Quincy home on Saturday. Young was born in Taylorsville on Dec. 16, 1887, the son of John Colin Young and Eliza Ellen Young, nee Cottingham, born in Illinois and reared on the Cottingham ranch in Indian Valley.
Young attended the Taylorsville Elementary school through the ninth grade, then went to Polytechnic High School in San Francisco from 1904 until April 1906, when the school was destroyed by earthquake and fire. He then attended school in San Jose until entering Stanford University in 1908. He was graduated in 1914 and came to Englemine to work. He moved to Quincy in 1915 and on Dec. 21, 1917 married Zola Semans of Quincy. He served in the U.S. Army until 1919 and in that same year was appointed District Attorney for Plumas County and served in that capacity until 1935. Following that, he entered private practice.
In May 1931, he was elected first president of the Quincy Rotary Club, which he had helped organize. Stanley was noted through the years for his unceasing interest and work in all civic affairs. Probably the most time-consuming project, in public service, was his promotion of the Feather River Highway, which was completed in 1937.
His survivors include his widow, Zola; a son, Plumas County Superior Court Judge Stanley C. Young Jr., a daughter, Norma Jean Carr, assistant curator of Plumas County Museum; and five grandchildren, Stan Carr of Quincy, Dick Young of Reno, Jeff, Cole, and Lisa Young of Quincy. Funeral services were held Tuesday from Anderson Mortuary Chapel in Quincy, followed by burial in Quincy Cemetery. Pall bearers were Jim Bob Gossett, Bob Moon, Ron Logan, Phil Miller, Plumas Stokes, and Vadney Murray. Honorary pall bearers were D. N. Rogers, Emile Austin, Art Baty, and J. N. Stephen.
*Frequent references are made to Stanley Colin Young being a 'Sr' and Stanley Claude Young being a 'Jr'. Technically, these references are incorrect, since the two individuals are not named identically. Even Stanley Colin Young's grave marker displays a 'Sr'.
