Marillah Gorman 11 f MO sch Adelia Marillah b 1840 d 1908; m William YOUNG b 1834 d 1883, both bur Hartville Steele Cem; s/o William F. YOUNG & Mary nee: YOUNG, see 1850 Wright Co #121; 1860 Wright Co #66; 1870 Wright Co #121; 1880 Wright Co Hartville City Hart Twp #308-319 Adela M. wid age 59; she ran the Hotel in Mansfield for two years.

William Young 16 m IN fmr sch m ca 1856 to Adelia Marillah "Rilda" GORMAN, see 1850 Wright Co #114-114; 1860 Wright Co #66; 1870 Wright Co #121; 1880 Wright Co Hartville City Hart Twp #168-169 she is a wid age 59; Rilda ran the Mansfield YOUNG Hotel.

At the age of fifteen,Ada was married to
William Young, and the result of this pleasant union was five children,
four of whom are now living: Frank, F. M. (deceased), Mattie (wife of
T. J. Kelly), Harvey and Oscar. William Young, the father of these
children, was born in Indiana in 1833, the son of W. F. and Mary
(Young) Young, cousins. While he was still a boy his parents immigra-
ted to Missouri, locating in the woods on a fork of the Gasoncade, and
here William grew to manhood among the wild scenes of frontier life.
After reaching years of discretion he became a merchant, and followed
this business in Hartville for about five years after the civil war.
Just about the time that he was doing a most extensive business, fail-
ing health interfered, and he gradually became an invalid. After ten
years of sickness he died of consumption, in 1883. During her husbands
illness Mrs. Young, with the business trait that always distinguished
her, took charge of her husbands affairs, and in 1871 commenced keeping
hotel in her present building in Hartville, and in connection with this
carried on her domestic affairs. For two years she kept hotel in Mans-
field, Wright County, Mo., but afterward returned to her home in
Hartville, where the "Young House" is noted for its good board, general
comfort and genial atmosphere. "Aunt Rilda," as Mrs. Young is famil-
iarly called by her friends, is a pleasant faced, ruddy cheeked, stout
woman, whose never failing good humor makes her a favorite wherever she
is known. Her paternal grandparents were natives of Ireland, who
immigrated to America, settling in Tennessee first, and then became
early settlers of Missouri. They settled in what was afterward formed
into Phelps County, and there the Gorman family lived long, and were
very much respected. A number of large apple trees now mark the site
of the Gorman's old homestead. The seeds from which the apple trees
were grown were brought by Grandmother Gorman from Tennessee, in the
toe of a stocking. William Young's father, W. F. Young, was among the
earliest settlers of the Wood's Fork of the Gasconade. In his home the
first circuit court of Wright County was held, and also the first
church service. W. F. Young was born in North Carolina; his father was
a native of Ireland, and immigrated to America in 1790 or 1792, where
he became one of the pioneers of North Carolina. Frank Young, the
eldest child of our subject, was born in Hartville, Mo., in 1856, and
at the age of sixteen he became a page in the Missouri House of Repre-
sentatives, where he remained two years. On his return home he attend-
ed school, and afterward engaged in the profession of teaching for four
years, during which time he was also connected with a retail furniture
establishment. In 1883 he was appointed treasurer of Wright County by
Gov. Crittenden, and served two years. He took charge of the "Young
House," a hotel in Marshfield, during 1884 and 1885, after which he
went on the road as traveling salesman for Joseph Baum & Co., a boot
and shoe house, at St. Louis. His health failed at this time, and he
went to California, where he remained a season, and then returned to
Hartville, where he has since been engaged in taking care of the Young
estate, and also has charge of the livery business. He was elected
chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, September 20, 1888, and
is one of the enthusiastic Democrats of the section; his influence,
combined with the efforts of other young men of the county, defeated
the most important part of the Republican ticket in Wright County for
1888. A bright future is in store for this young man, and he will no
doubt be heard from in the highest circles of Wright County politics
in the near future. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
