He attended the pub- lic schools of his town, and learned the trade of ship carpenter, following his trade at Bath, Maine. He returned to Lisbon in 1861 and enlisted as a private in the Twenty-ninth Regi- ment Maine Volunteers, and served to the end of the civil war. His regiment was a part of General Sheridan's army in the Shenandoah Valley, and Youland participated in the battles of Winchester and Cedar Creek. After the war he returned to Lisbon, and settled upon a farm, where he lived the rest of his life. He died in 1905. Mr. Youland was highly respect-
ed by his townsmen, and was an earnest and useful citizen. In religion he was a Free Will Baptist, in politics a Republican, and was a member of Lisbon Post, Grand Army of the Republic, many years. March 23, 1851, he was married to Harriet J. Beale, who was born November 25, 1835. Children born at Durham and Lisbon : 1. William Edward, born June 9, 1854. 2. Alice E., May 17, 1856. 3.

He attended the public schools at Lisbon, and the Dirigo Business College at Augusta, under D. M. Waite, principal. At the age of ten years he began to work on his father's farm, having the care and responsibility as well as most of the actual work, while his father was in army service. At the age of twelve years he went to work in the paper mill at Lisbon Center, and at fourteen was a weaver in the Farnsworth Mills at Lisbon Center, and was finally promoted to second hand in the weaving department. After completing the course at business college he returned to the employ of the Farnsworth Company, and soon after was employed in the Webster woolen mills at Sa- battus. As a weaver he worked from six in the morning until seven at night, and, having saved the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars, invested the entire amount for the benefit of his parents. Having a natural inclination for mercantile life, and desiring a larger field of usefulness, he sought a position as clerk, and after trying in vain at twenty-eight different stores in Lewiston and Portland, finally suc- ceeded in securing a job at a salary of three dollars per week, on which to support himself and a wife. Two months later he became clerk in the dry goods store of Whittum & Farrar, Lewiston, at eight dollars per week, at the end of a year getting a raise of one dollar per week. After working for this firm two years he was engaged as head clerk at the store of Oswald & Armstrong, Lewiston. He went to Boston, and took a position as salesman for R. H. White Co., in the department store, and was with this house six months, when Bradford Peck, who was then about to open a store in Lewiston, offered him a good position and placed him in charge of the cloak department in the new store. He became stockholder and director of the corporation and remained there eight years. September 2, 1893, he bought the dry goods business of Sanborn Brothers, at
850

Biddeford, Maine, and with two others as partners, Samuel Bootliby, of Portland, and George W. Richards, of Iloulton, carried on the business under the firm name of W. E. Youland & Co., conducting this business until 1904, when he bought out the business from his two partners and incorporated it as W. E. Youland Co., of which Mr. Youland is presi- dent and manager and virtual owner. The business is extensive, and has grown rapidly. The stock includes all kinds of dry and fancy goods, cloaks, furs, suits, men's furnishing, boys' clothing, millinery, and small wares. It occupies two spacious floors of the building, and is one of the most flourishing and progres- sive department stores of that section of the state. As a dry goods store this house is the largest in York county.
Mr. Youland is a man of public spirit, and is prominent in public life. He was elected on the Citizens' ticket as alderman from Ward 7 in 1896 and 1897, serving on various impor- tant committees, and was president of the board for two years. He was a member of the school board for three years, and member of the park commission for ten years. Mr. You- land has been president of the Board of Trade, and was prime mover in the establishment of Merchants' Weck and other measures for ad- vertising the city. In co-operation with Rob- ert McArthur, Mr. Youland was chief pro- moter of the McArthur Library, and has been its treasurer since its organization. Mr. You- land is president of the Lakeview Company, a large real estate corporation of Lakeview, North Carolina, where he owns a beautiful winter home. He is also president of the Greenwood Cemetery Association in Bidde- ford, Maine. He is a prominent Free Mason, member of Dunlap Lodge; York Chapter, No. 5, Royal Arch Masons ; Maine Council, Royal and Select Masters; Bradford Commandery, No. 4. Knights Templar : Adah Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star; and Kora Temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine. He is an active and prominent member of the Jefferson Street Free Baptist Church, having served on various par- ish and church committees, and has been su- perintendent of the Sunday school. He was formerly president of the Lewiston Young Men's Christian Association. A self-made man, and to a large extent also self-educated. Mr. Youland has raised himself to a position of leadership in the business world and in the social world as well. He is a man of culture and refinement, a lover of art, a supporter of educational movements, and a generous friend
of all efforts in behalf of public welfare and moral improvement.
October 9. 1881, he was married to Susie Frost Teel, of Lewiston, daughter of Jonathan Teel, formerly of Weston, Massachusetts. Of this marriage were born three children : I. William Edward Jr., born in Lewiston, Au- gust 25, 1884; graduated from Bowdoin Col- lege, 1906; is now studying medicine at Mc- Gill University, Montreal. 2 .- 3. Galen Lin- wood and Grace Lillian, twins, born in Lewis- ton, November 2, 1887. Grace is a graduate of the Biddeford high school and the White prep. school for girls, Portland, Maine. Galen, the twin son, died January 6, 1890.
The unique LAWRENCE LIBRARY public library building, built of native stone, with gray granite trimmings, commodious and beautiful in all its details, was the gift of Mr. Edward J. Lawrence (whose genealogical sketch is to be found in these pages). The fine large lot on which the library stands is opposite the public park and soldiers' monument, on Lawrence Avenue, and was donated by Mrs. Louise E. Newhall (whose family history is also printed in this work). These generous and public-spirited citizens have also contributed $2,000 each to- ward books for the library, which contains nearly seven thousand volumes. About one thousand one hundred volumes, many of them valuable books of reference, were the gift of the Fairfield Book Club. The ladies of this club were the originators of the idea of hav- ing a public library in Fairfield, and by their efforts a small circulating library was estab- lished in 1895 and continued until 1900, when the Lawrence Library building was erected. The work of the library has been very success- fully conducted by the able librarian, Miss Frances Kenrick, and a branch library has been established at Fairfield Center, where the books are highly appreciated. The circulation from the main library during 1908 has been over fifteen thousand volumes.
The Library LITHGOW LIBRARY, AUGUSTA Building, erected at an expense of $50,000, is a structure of rare beauty, substantially built of granite. The style of architecture is of the Romanesque-Rennaissance order. The exterior in its entirety, or in its details, is equally pleasing from any point of view :

classic and dignified as becomes a building devoted to literature and learning, and the entire interior is well suited to the needs of a public library. Throughout the building, above the basement, except the reading room, the woodwork is of quartered oak, in antique fin- ish. In the reading room the wood finish is of pine, painted and tinted in ivory white, with papier maché ornamentation decorated with gold leaf in lemon and old gold hues. A whole volume could be written in describing these beautiful and commodious rooms.
The Lithgow Library and Reading Room is the continuation and grand expansion of the Augusta Literary and Library Association, which was incorporated and approved by the governor, February 9, 1872. It is the fruition of the hopes of the originators of that associa- tion which was formed for the purpose of maintaining in the city of Augusta a library, reading room, courses of literary and scientific lectures, and such other purposes as may come within the province of similar associations. This association was composed of Augusta's most cultured men and women of literary taste, who found enjoyment and profit in meeting together to read and discuss the best books of that time. Augusta has always been noted for its prominent men, and among the list of original members of the Literary and Library Association are found the names of men dis- tinguished in public life, men of whom any city might justly be proud. At first the home of the association was a room in Meonian Hall Block, where its collection of books be- gan. The following year this place was ex- changed for a larger room in Bradbury Block -the birthplace of the Lithgow Library and Reading Room. Money for the purchasing of books was raised by voluntary contributions, and any who gave to the amount of fifty dol- lars were entitled to life membership. The subscriptions from life members amounted to $2,500, and most of this sum was immediately expended in carefully selected books, in addi- tion to which were many donations of books from well wishers.
Llewellyn William Lithgow, a man univer- sally respected and beloved, was a life mem- ber of the Augusta Literary and Library As- sociation, and at his death, which occurred June 22, 1881, he left to the association the sum of $20,000 for the express purpose of creating a fund, to be known as the Lithgow Library and Reading Room Fund, only the interest of which could be used in establish- ing and maintaining a "Public Library in the City of Augusta, for the use of the citizens
thereof forever, subject to such regulations and rules as the City Government may establish. The principal is never to be suffered to dimin- ish, and if by any contingency the principal shall be reduced, said city of Augusta shall immediately make it good."
Mr. Lithgow's will was approved and es- tablished by the probate court, July 25, 1887. A meeting of the mayor and aldermen was held August 5, 1881, at which time it was voted to accept the bequest with appropriate recogni- tion of the generosity of the donor, the city to pay interest on the above sum, at the rate of five per cent. per annum, in semi-annual payments perpetually to the board of trustees, which money shall be applied to the enlarge- ment and sustaining of the Lithgow Library and Reading Room, or providing accommoda- tion for the same. The first work performed by the board of trustees after its organization, February 12, 1882, was the acceptance of the books and fixtures of the "Augusta Literary and Library Association," which that associa- tion had voted to transfer to the Lithgow Li- brary, upon certain conditions. Thus the prop- erty of the Augusta Literary and Library As- sociation, which had cost them not less than $3,000, was transferred to the trustees of the Lithgow Library and Reading Room, and the former corporation, after a career of invalu- able usefulness, covering a period of ten years, ceased to exist.
In addition to the trust fund of $20,000, and independent of it, a residuary clause in Mr. Lithgow's will bequeathed to Augusta $16,000, which fell into the treasury of the library corporation, and it was voted to use this amount in providing accommodations by constructing a building. As early as 1888 the location was selected and a lot of land secured for $5,300 at the corner of State and Win- throp streets, and later (October 14, 1892) an adjoining lot was purchased for $4,000, forming a commodious site for the contem- plated building. The trustees made an appeal through the public press to the citizens to aid in erecting a library building, and at a meet- ing of the trustees held July 14, 1891, it was "voted that the donor of $1,000 or more to- ward the Library Building should be entitled to have an alcove therein bear his or her name, or of any such person as he or she may desig- nate." A circular letter was prepared setting forth the conditions and needs of the library, and sent to a goodly number of Augusta citi- zens, and to natives of Augusta residing else- where. In answer to this appeal for co-opera- tion, twelve subscriptions of $1,000 were re-
