Y., July 10, 1808, was educated at Elbridge; went to New Hartford at the age of 14; resided there about one year engaged in mercantile pursuits; went from there to New York, where he remained until 1832; then returned to Elbridge and studied law with Hiram Mather and Reuben E. Farnham. In 1834 he came to Auburn and entered the Bank of Auburn as bookkeeper; in 1840 he made cahier, which position he held until January, 1876, when he was unanimously elected president of that incorporation.

His principles were fixed and firm. … His knowledge of law, brought great advantage to the institution for which he labored. … Though not a member of the church he was for many years President of the Board of Trustees of the First Presbyterian church. …
