Hello Listers:
I am so excited tonight because I located information I have been searching
for for about 3 years!!!! I have been searching for R. G. Young. I had
begun to think that he died after 1880 because he just disappeared.
I finally received a copy of one of his son's marriages records and it
indicated the residence of R.G. Young as Michigan City, IN! His son was
married in Bangor, Michigan.
R. G. Young is Russell G. Young, b. abt. 1826 and 1828 in Michigan. I am
trying desperately to find out who his parents were.
I located a burial of R.G. Young in the Greenwood Cemetery (81 years, Feb.
26, 1909), Burial 5699. I think a couple of his children are buried there,
also (Grant R., E.W., John N, Ralph). I would love to have a photo of his
marker.
Here's the info I have on R.G. and his 2 families (from 2 wives). Does this
family sound familiar to anyone. Any and all help would be most greatly
appreciated.
