The TALES you probably never heard about

JOSEPH C. YOUNG

[Welland Telegraph, 13 February 1891]

Mr. Joseph C. Young, of Chicago, who left here 30 years ago, is here visiting the land of his birth and scenes of his childhood. Mr. Young is doing a good business in the Western Metropolis as an “Iron Setter” which means putting together the tall iron buildings, and has amassed a comfortable competency. During the 30 years since he left here, he has, until the present time only visited us once, about 17 years ago, but we hope now to see him more frequently as he has purchased a piece of property on the Welland river, opposite his old homestead, and intends fitting up the building thereon as a summer residence, for the use of himself and family. Many old friends will be glad to welcome him.
