The Messingers of Sala- MESSINGER manca are of German an- cestry and parentage, the original name being Moessinger. The father, Peter Messinger, son of John, was born in Menzlinger, a small village near Carlsruhe, Baden, Germany, June 5, 1832, and died at Salamanca, New York, July 4, 1904. He re- ceived a good education in the German schools, served his allotted years in the army, and in 1856 came to the United States. He located at Hemlock Mills (now Salamanca), Cattaraugus county, where he secured em- ployment in the lumber mills, continuing until 1862. In that year he enlisted in Company A, 154th Regiment, New York Volunteer In- fantry. His regiment was attached to the Army of the Potomac, and with that hard fought army he saw continuous service until the battle of Gettysburg, when he was se- verely wounded by a shell, taken prisoner, and sent south. He spent twenty-two months in the prison pens at Andersonville, Belle Isle and Libby. He returned home in 1865 great- ly broken in health. After regaining strength he returned to his work in the lumber mills, situated on the south side of the river, and at that time almost the only industry at Sala- manca. In 1880 he entered the employ of the Erie Railroad Company as car inspector, continuing until his accidental death while in the performance of his duty, July 4, 1904. He was passing underneath a train which suddenly started, crushing him beneath the wheels. He was a good soldier, a faithful employee, and highly respected by all. He was a member of Cattaraugus Lodge, No. 239, Free and Accepted Masons; H. O. Wait Post, Grand Army of the Republic; the Ger- man Lutheran church, and was a Republican in politics.

In 1880 he began working for the Erie Railroad Company as yardman. In 1882 he was promoted to the baggage room at Salamanca, where he was in charge until 1891. In the latter year he was again promoted and made ticket agent at Union Station, a position he still holds. Salamanca is an important point, and the po- sition of ticket agent one of unusual responsi- bility. Mr. Messinger has had thirty-one years of continuous service with the company, twenty of these having been passed in his present position. He is quiet and unassum- ing in manner, but a most valuable and effi- cient official. He is very popular with his associates and townsmen, and is held in high esteem.

This family of Willsons, liv- WILLSON ing in Jamestown, originally came from England a little before the middle of the last century, being one of a group of five families emigrating . from Ely, England, and settling in this coun- try in 1834. The group included two fami- lies of this same name, whose ancestors were related; the descendants of one of these fami- lies now spell their name Wilson. After their arrival the five families remained to- gether, settling in Chautauqua county, New York, near what was then the village of Jamestown and within the limits of the pres- ent city. They secured adjoining land and gave the place the name it bore for many years, "English Hill."


(I) John Willson, emigrant ancestor, was born in England, coming to this country as aforesaid in company with four other fami- lies; he was a farmer, settling on "English Hill," where he lived and died. His original purchase of one hundred acres of farm lands was made from the Holland Land Company, December 26, 1836. Mr. Willson became a Republican in his politics, and he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church. He died at the age of sixty-one years, and was the father of eight children, two of whom are still living; these children being : David, Sanford, Mark Thomas, mentioned below; John, John, William, Sarah, who be- came the wife of Jefferson Prosser and is still living; Susanna, unmarried, and still living.

He followed his father's vocation, becoming a farmer, and inheriting the farm purchased by his father and now in the possession of his own son. During the civil war he served with distinction, enlisting as a private, August 26, 1862, in Company F, One Hundred and


Twelfth Regiment, New York Volunteers, and remaining until the close of the war in 1865. Having been wounded by the bursting of a shell, he was granted a pension in after years because of the injuries thus sustained. Mr. Willson became prominent in the politics of the city, being a staunch Republican, and receiving the appointment of street commis- sioner.

(III) Nathan M., son of Mark Thomas Willson, was born at Jamestown, Chautauqua county, New York, September 19, 1870. He spent his early years in Jamestown, and was educated in the public schools of this place. His first business employment was in the plant of John T. Wilson, where he began in the glazing room, and was, after two years, placed in charge of the paint rooms. He re- mained for six years in this responsible posi- tion, until in 1897 he entered into partnership with A. J. Thayer, C. D. Pratt and George B. Peterson, in the establishment of the James- town Veneer Works. This firm was finally incorporated in 1903, with Mr. Willson as secretary and treasurer ; Messrs. Pratt, Peter- son and Thayer have since retired from the partnership, which now includes Charles E. Fisk, of Pearl City Veneer Company, who is also the manager of the works, H. D. Hanch- ett, president. The firm does a flourishing trade, embracing all the first-class furniture makers in the country and a large following among the manufacturers of Jamestown.

YOUNG The name of Young is distin- guished in Wyoming county, and more especially in Warsaw as that of a pioneer journalist and author, Andrew White Young, who came to Warsaw as a boy, and remained there until 1855, when he moved to Chautauqua county and later to Minnesota. He returned to Warsaw, how- ever, some twenty years later, and resided there again for about a year before his death. Mr. Young's ancestry on his father's side was the old Dutch stock, so strongly repre- sented in the Empire state. His mother was born in the Emerald isle, but was brought up in this country. She was of the Protestant or Scotch-Irish stock so-called.


Mr. Young was born in Carlisle, Scho- harie county, New York, March 2, 1802, and came to Warsaw in 1816. What schooling he had was received in the common schools and embraced a half term also at the age of nineteen in the Middlebury Academy. He


was so apt a scholar that he was engaged in teaching school at the early age of thirteen, his father receiving for his services the mu- nificent sum of five dollars a month. Farm labor and school teaching were the employ- ments of his youth. When he came of age, he engaged for a time as clerk and merchant, at first in Wethersfield and later at War- saw. In the year 1830 he embarked in the newspaper business with the Warsaw Sentinel, which two years later he merged with the Re- publican Advocate, continuing that journal for the space of five years. While thus en- gaged he took up authorship and eventually made it his life work. He made a specialty of subjects relating to government, believing a more general diffusion of knowledge of its principles to be essential to good citizenship. His first work was an edition upon the "Science of Government," which was issued from his Warsaw press in 1835. It was the first work of its kind brought out in that part of the country and, though it met with a fa- vorable reception, its author re-wrote, revised and republished it in 1840.


In 1843 Mr. Young wrote and published "First Lessons in Civil Government," a text- book for schools. It was intended for the younger class of learners, and was designed for use in the schools of New York. Two years later he compiled a similar work for the schools of Ohio, of which many thou- sands of copies were sold. In 1845 and 1846 he served in the state legislature as the rep- resentative of Wyoming county, and in the latter year also the state constitutional con- vention. In 1852 he returned to the making of books commencing that year "The Ameri- can Statesman; a Political History of the United States," which he completed in 1855. This work treats of the purely political his- tory of the government, from its beginning in the old colonial days. In 1858 Mr. Young produced the "Citizen's Manual," a digest of constitutional, common, statutory and inter- national law, intended especially for adults, and in 1860 a work on "National Economy." He was the author also of a number of textbooks, chief among them being the "Gov- ernment Class Book," issued in 1859, and the "First Book on Civil Government," an abridgement of his earliest work, made in 1867. In the preparation of these works, Mr. Young's purpose was to prepare the citizen for a more intelligent discharge of his duties.

Mr. Young remained a resident of War- saw until 1856, then moved to Chautauqua county and from there in 1868 to Red Wing. Minnesota, where his descendants reside to- day. He died at Warsaw in the year 1877. Mr. Young took a prominent part in public affairs. Politically he was originally a Whig and high in the councils of that party. He was an earnest worker in the cause of temper- ance. Mr. Young married, October 4, 1827, while resident of Wethersfield Springs, Eliza Webster, of Warsaw, who was born June 9, 1804, the first child born in that town, daugh- ter of Judge Elizer Webster.
