CAPT. CHARLES T. YOUNG, past commander of the G. A. R. Post at Toronto, ()., and one of the prominent citizens of this section of Jefferson County, was directly or indirectly connected with the sewer pipe business for a period covering thirty-four years. He was born on a farm in Jefferson County, O., near New Alexandria Angust 28, 1843, and is a son of Charles R. and Annie (Dorsey) Young. The parents and a part of the family were born and reared in Maryland.
schools. Apparently his life stretched ont before him along quiet, agricultural lines and his boyish plans were made in antici- pation of the rewards coming from the in- dustrious tilling of the soil. Then came the call to arms when the dissolution of the Union was threatened, and one of the first to respond and to urge his acquaintances to do the same, was Charles T. Young. Ať- ter enlisting at Steubenville, O., he re- eruited a portion of a company, these men being from Steubenville, Brilliant and New Alexandria, and they were joined by others equally loyal and patriotic from Cadiz, Co- Inmibus and Marion, and at Camp Todd they were formed into Company C, 5th Independent Battalion of Cavalry, Mr. Young being made first sergeant of the organization. The period of enlistment was for six months, the general idea then prevailing being that no soldiery would be needed for a longer time than that. This battalion consisting of four companies went into service iu Fleming County, Ky., and by the time their term had expired it was recognized that the great struggle be- tween the opposing sections would be a long one, and the battalion reenlisted. A furlough of thirty days was given the men and this furlongh Mr. Yonng spent in Jeff- erson County recruiting. This company was then reunited at Camp Chase and became a part of the 13th O. Vol. Cuv., in which Sergeant Young was commissioned second lieutenant. In 1864 he was made first lieutenant and in the fall of 1865 he was commissioned captain and served from April, 1864, under Div. Com. Gregg, in the Army of the Potomac, the higher officers being Brig. Gen. Smith and General Sher- idan.
Early in April, 1864, the company with which Captain Yonng was identified. started for Washington, D. C., by way of Pittsburgh and Baltimore. After twenty- fonr honrs in Washington it entered into camp on Arlington Heights, above the Po- tomae River and remained there one week
Charles T. Young was reared on the and then marched down to Alexandria, Va.,

and took a steamer to Belle Plaine Land- ing, sometimes called Erqua Creek. From there the company was marched twenty miles to Fredericksburg, remained over night and then was ordered back to Belle Plaine Landing. On the next day orders came to proceed to Port Royal, on the Rappahannock River, where the company was mounted. About a week later this company was marched ten miles and joined the cavalry corps and in the final reorgani- zation this company became a part of the 3rd Brig., and 2nd Div. Cav. Corps.
On May 4, 1864, the river was crossed and they entered into the battle of the Wild- erness that evening, being among the first troops to open the fight. Captain Young's company took part in the week-long battle, later participated in the fight at Spottsyl- vania Court House and was continuously engaged until after the battle of Cold Har- bor. He was in the battles at Hanover Court House, North Anna and South Anna Rivers and Charles City Court House. The cavalry then accompanied the infantry as a defense until near Richmond and in the battle there the cavalry suffered a loss of 1,500 brave men. A fight was also pre- cipitated at White House Landing, this be- ing one of the few bloodless battles in which Captain Yong took part. After that battle his command crossed the James Riv- er and went on to Petersburg and were there at the time of the explosion, July 30. After his military service was over he returned to the farm and followed agrienl- 1864. He was wounded three times and his own company lost twenty-three mien . tural pursuits from 1866 until October, and 289 men of the regiment were lost. In' his own company oue prisoner was taken, twelve men were wounded and ten were killed. Captain Young was confined in a hospital at Portsmouth Grove, R. I., for two months and for two months was on David Island, N. Y., in the East River. On November 1, 1864, he rejoined his com- mand at Petersburg. He had been captain of his company before the accident and when he returned resumed command. The regiment spent the winter in Virginia and was mustered ont of the service August 11, 1865, but before that time had taken part in 1873, when he moved to Toronto and for one year was in the drug business. After selling ont his interest in that line, in 1874 he berame connected with the sewer pipe in- dustry at the Franey works and from that date until 1908 gave almost his entire at- tention to that great industry, one of the most important ones in the state. After some time with the Franey people, he went into partnership with Canada Kling and they owned the Jefferson or the Toronto Fire Clay Manufacturing plant and later owned the Markle works under the name of the Canada Kling Company, the members
a number of other very serious engage- ments. These inelnded Weldon Railroad, Pilgrim Farm, Poplar Grove Church, Din- widdie Court House, Hatcher's Run and Stony Creek. There was then a short re- spite but Inter there were engagements at Notuway, Amelia Court House, Jettlers- ville, Sailor's Creek, Farmsville and Ap- pomattox Court House. After the sur- render of General Lee, Captain Young and his comnand returned to Petersburg and two weeks later, as Johnston had not yet surrendered, they were ordered to reen- force General Sherman. After a march of 100 miles and when within twenty miles of the Union forces, they learned of the sur- render of Johnston and then return was made to Petersburg. After Sherman's forces had passed on to Washington, the cavalry wa's still retained at Petersburg. At that time, Captain Young was ucting major und hnd command of four companies at Powhatan Court House as there were many disturbances between the whites and blacks. He established a refugee camp there and remained in charge until the sixth of the following August, when he was ordered home and was mastered out at City Point, Va. For bravery, patriotism, faithfulness and capacity, Captain Young's record is one that should inspire pride in all his kindred and admiration in his fellow citizens.

WILLIAM FRANCIS TOMLINSON, a highly respected resident of Mt. Pleasant, where he has been more or less engaged in mercantile pursuits for a number of years, is a representative of one of the substan- tial pioneer families, which was established in Jefferson Comty about 100 years ago. His whole life has been spent in this county, where he was born May 26, 1849, the sev- enth and youngest child of his parents who were Sammel S. and Rachel (Street) Tom- linson.
Isaac Tomlinson, the grandfather of William F., was born in Bneks County, Pa., where he married Mary Deweese, and they came to Jefffferson Connty in 1818. Their first night here was spent at Mt. Pleasant, It the next morning they went on to Emerson and took up their residence in a log house which stood near the present Emerson schoolhouse. He then purchased a farm of forty aeres which is now owned by the heirs of Thomas MrCullongh. on which he lived for some years, but died at his home, which was a brick house that stood east of the town of Harrisville, and
ground at New Trenton. He was a chair- maker by trade and some of the comfort- able arm chairs that he patiently fashioned are still in use. To Isaac and Mary Tom- linson the following children were born: Samuel S., who was born in Bueks County, Pa., and died in Jefferson County at the age of eighty-nine years and eleven months ; Rebecca, who married Amos Marsh, and died in Iowa; Thomas, who moved to Iowa reared a family there and died in that state; Snsana, who married James Car- ter and lived and died in Harrison County ; Carver, who reared a family in Illinois and died there; Comley, who after residing for a umnber of years in Jefferson County, moved to Salem, in Columbiana County, where his last years were spent ; Chalkley, who died very suddenly in Jefferson Conn- ty; and Sarah, who married Amos Griffith' and died in Harrison County, Ohio, after having become a widow in Iowa.
Samuel S. Tomlinson, father of William Francis, was born in Bucks County in 1810. and died in Jefferson County, Ohio, in De- cember, 1899. He learned the trade of chairmaking with his father but after his marriage became a farmer. His first por- chase of land was a traet of sixty acres, now owned by John Beam, and afterward he bought forty-four acres from JJames Robinson. This land he kept intact and cultivated and improved it, spending many busy years here. In 1831 he married . Rachel Street, who was also born in Bucks County, Pennsylvanin, in 1810. Seven chil- dren were born to them, namely : Griffith, who spent the greater part of his life in Jefferson County but later moved to Bel- mont Conuty (married Alice Greer) ; Emily, who married Samuel R. Battin, re- sided for a few years after marriage in Colombiana County, Ohio, then moved to Clark County where she died in the fall of 1909; Isaac, a farmer, who resides near West Liberty, Towa: Elizabeth, residing in Marshall County, Iowa, who never mar- ried: Rebecca, who was the wife of Amos Gibson and spent her life in Jefferson and

Columbiana Counties, dying without issue; Edward, who has been engaged in farming in Harrison County, Ohio, for the past eight years (married Mary Philpot) ; and William Francis, of Mt. Pleasant. Very few descendants of the above family still live in Jefferson County, they being con- fined to the immediate family of William Francis Tomlinson and two nieces, Mrs. Worthington and Mrs. Fisher.
William F. Tomlinson remained on his father's farm west of Emerson until he was about twenty-eight years of age. He at- tended what was known as the Trenton school during its winter sessions but helped in the cultivation of the farm during the summers. Later he attended the Mt. Pleas- ant school for two months, this completing his regular schooling. It in no wise com- pleted his eduention, however, for he came of intelligent parentage and possessed a quick and receptive mind and from the many visitors to his parents' home and later through a wider acquaintance he se- cured much practical knowledge that he might not have acquired from a collegiate training. The visitors referred to above were numerous, for his people were hospit- able and as they were prominent Hicksite Quakers, their home was often a place of hospitality for ministers and other trav- elers of that faith.
William F. Tomlinson was married De- cember 25, 1877, to Miss Elizabeth MeCul- longh, a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Porter) MeCullongh. Mrs. Tomlinson was born on Wheeling Island and came to Mt. Pleasant in 1873, with her parents, who died here. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Tomlinson: Edith, who has adopted the profession of a trained uurse: and Walter M. The latter was connected for ten years with the Harper hat store and at present is a traveling salesman for a large hat honse of Cincinnati. He mar- ried Mary Jessie House, a daughter of C. A. Honse, who is a music dealer of Wheel- ing, W. Va., and they have one daughter, Irene.
William F. Tomlinson at different peri-
ods has been engaged in mercantile busi- ness and since his marriage has conducted a general store at Mt. Pleasant. Ile has never taken any pronounced interest in polities, nor has he sought publie office, but always performs the duties of good citizen- ship. He votes with the Republican party and has served as township assessor. He attends the Quaker church at Emerson, be- ing a birthright member of the Society of Friends.
JAMES TURNBULL, who was long a prominent citizen of Steubenville, was born in Philadelphia in 1795, and from there re- moved in 1807, to Pittsburgh, where he took up the trade of book-binding. In 1816 he came to Steubenville, then a town of only about 900 inhabitants, and set up a book-bindery and publishing house, prob- ably the first in Ohio. Quite a number of books were published here, which are val- nable on account of their rarity. From 1835 to 1847 he was an active member of the firm of Holdship, Hanna and Turnbull, operating the Clinton Paper Mill, now the Hartje Mill on North Third Street. He also conducted a book and stationery store until 1850, in the room now occupied by his son-in-law, Capt. John F. Oliver, the apartment having been used continuously in this business for upwards of ninety- three years. As a business man he was thoroughly successful and took a lively in- terest in public affairs. He voted for James Monroe for president in 1816, and for his successors until 1884, and was the last survivor in this section of the War of 1812 He was elected county treasurer in 1831 and declined re-election on account of his increasing private business; served two terms in the City Conneil, five terms as member of the Board of Education, and as Water Works trustee was identified with the buikling of the first water works at the foot of Adams Street. He was also a director in the old Farmers and Me- chanies Bank, The Jefferson National, the original Steubenville and Indiana Rail- road, and took part in almost every other

public enterprise. He lived under every president from Washington to Cleveland. Mr. Turnbull was married three times, his first wife being Caroline Galbraith, the second, Sarah Todd and the third, Mar- garet MeDevitt, who died October 21, 1898, Mr. Turnbull having passed away on June 13, 1887. Two children survive, Elizabeth, wife of Major James F. Sarratt, and Caro- line, wife of Capt. Jolin F. Oliver. Mr. Turnbull was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church, and his remains were laid at rest in the presence of a large at- tendance of citizens and public officials.
WILLIAM M. GRAFTON, an extensive real estate dealer of Steubenville, O., is identified with the LaBelle Land Company, and numerous building projects. He has been a resident of this city nine years and is widely known. Mr. Grafton was born in New Cumberland in 1861, and was twelve years of age when his family moved to Bellaire, O. There he completed his schooling and early in life learned the glass-making trade. He was engaged in that business for a period of twenty-five years, and then turned his attention to the real estate business. Upon coming to Sten- benville in 1901, he became identified with the La Belle Land Company, with which he has continued ever since. He is a man of good business qualifications, resourceful and enterprising. and has been active in the development of the city. Mr. Grafton was formerly active in politics, but in re- vent years has taken little interest. In 1882 he was married to Miss Sophia M. Ingler, a native of Jefferson County, and they have four children: Nellie, Mabel, William and Georgiana. Religiously, they are members of the Methodist Protestant church. Mr. Grafton is a member of the Junior Order United American Mechanics.
MRS. SUSAN C. HANLIN. Among the beautiful farms for which Island Creek Township, Jefferson County, O., is justly noted, is that 100-acre tract belonging to
Mrs. Susan C. Hanlin, who is a well known and highly esteemed resident of this sec- tion. Mrs. Hanlin was born in Washing- ton County, Pa., April 22, 1838, and is a danghter of Samuel and Mary (Cunning- ham) Creswell, the former of whom was born in West Virginia and the latter in Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Hanlin was reared in Washington County, attended the district schools and grew to womanhood skilled in all honse- wifely accomplishments. On February 7, 1861, she was united in marriage with Will- iam R. Hanlin, who was born in Washing- ton County, July 15, 1836, and was a son of Alexander and Margaret (Gracey) Han- lin. His father had also been born in Washington County and probably was of Revolutionary stock. William R. Hanlin and family resided in Washington County until 1872 and then removed to Jefferson County, Ohio, and in 1874 settled on the farm which Mrs. Hanlin still owns and ocenpies. Here he engaged in farming and stock raising but survived only a few years longer, his death occurring on May 11, 1878. He was a man of quiet life and took no very active part in publie matters but was mind- ful of his duties as a citizen. He cast his Vote with the Republican party. He was a worthy member of the Centre Chapel Methodist Episcopal church.
To Mr. and Mrs. Hanlin eight children were born, three of whom are deceased: Samnel C., George A. and William F'. The survivors are: Rachel J., who is the wife of A. J. Crawford, of Island Creek Town- ship: Margaret Grace, a lady of education and culture, who is a popular public school teacher in Jefferson County: Mitchell De Ford, who resides in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania; Marie E., who is a trained nurse residing at Pittsburg, Pa .; and John D., who operates a farm in Island Creek Township.
