Polly had two brothers; the older was named William B. Young, and the younger was John Young. William, b. Nov 11, 1883 in SF, CA, died there on Jul 8, 1945. He was married, without children. John, b. Jan 12, 1888 in Oakland, CA, died in White Plains, NY in Aug 1986. He was widowed.
Apparently, Polly's aunt, Jennette Young, married Louis A. Arzner, and they became the parents of her very famous cousin, a silent/sound era feminist movie producer, Dorothy Emma Arzner (1897-1979).
"When Arzner was 5 [1902], her parents divorced and she never saw her mother again. She and her brother moved in with her aunt and uncle [John and Pauline (Werner) Young] and Polly [Young] was her older cousin. Both girls had been given a toy that made noise, but Arzner's didn't always work. Her cousin Polly lost her toy, and said Arzner had stolen it. Arzner's toy happened to be working then, so her aunt believed Polly. Arzner was incensed that her aunt thought she lied. Arzner wrote in her autobiography: 'My best friend gone against me. My best friend had called me a liar! ... I was crying copiously. And the impression left on me was that I had been unjustly accused.' Obviously, a best friend one can count on was something important to Arzner."
