Clint was the first child born to James Granville and Martha Juda (New) Young in rural eastern Wayne County, Kentucky near Delta. He served in the U.S. Army during World War I. He married Lettie Tucker on July 15, 1920 in Wayne County and they had eight children. Clint and Lettie first moved to Oolitic, Indiana where Clint worked in the limestone quarries and where their first three children were born. They next moved to Stinesville, Indiana where Clint continued working in the quarries and where their next two children were born. They next moved to Rosford, Ohio in 1929 where Clint had work as a carpenter in a glass factory; their sixth child was born there. When Clint lost his job in Ohio due to the onset of the Great Depression they moved back to Stinesville where they lived on a farm and their last two children were born. Clint eventually found work at the Fagan Stone Mill in Bloomington and he worked there for almost twenty years cutting huge blocks of limestone to finished size for the building industry. Clint retired in 1959 from the stone mill and enjoyed fourteen years of retirement. Clint loved to hunt and would go after rabbits and squirrels with friends and relatives at every opportunity.
