Walter was the son of George Waldo Young and Harriet Chagnon Young (from Quebec). He was born in Brookfield or Spencer.

Walter served in the Merchant Marines during World War I. He was also the grandson of a Civil War soldier, Richard Young, and the great, great, great grandson of Revolutionary War soldier, Isaac Prouty.

Walter married Jeannia Derosiers on Apr 19, 1920. They had two children: Claire and Norman. Walter worked at Athletic Shoe Co, in East Brookfield for many years. He also served as a constable in East Brookfield in the mid 1930s. One of the perks of the job was driving slowly down Route 9 in an old jalopy, until some hot shot passed him by. Then he would hit the horn and take off like a bat out of hell, so he could arrest the guy.

Walter and Jeannia move to Worcester in the late 1930s. Walter died on his sister-in-law Lillian's birthday and just a few months before his first two great-grandsons were born. He was buried on Good Friday. At the time of his death he had 10 grandchildren and a great-granddaughter named Rachel.

One of Walter's ancestors, Phillip Torrey, can be found at FAG memorial # 76505584
