Subject: Singleton Young's Biography
"A Biographical History of Central Kansas: Vol II" which was published in 1902.
Singleton L. Young
p. 1242-1243
Singleton L. Young resides on section 34, Paxon township, Pratt county, where he owns two hundred and forty acres of valuable land, on which he carries on general farming and stock-raising. He was born in Lincoln county, Kentucky, May 12, 1833, and is a son of Godfrey Young, whose birth occurred in Withe county, West Virginia, in 1798. He was of German lineage and from his native state came to Kentucky, becoming one of the first settlers of Lincoln county. He was a companion of the noted hunter,
Casper Baugh, and together they at one time engaged in hunting bears and killed a cub. They were then attacked by the mother bear and had a long fight with her. While residing in Lincoln county, Godfrey Young married Tabitha Bastin, who was born in Pulaski, Kentucky. Her mother died at the advanced
age of ninety years, in Lincoln county, that state. Godfrey Young lived and died in Lincoln county, passing away in 1853 at the age of fifty-six years, while his wife died in 1863 at the age of sixty years. She had nursed soldiers at her home-for this was the period of the Civil war-and contracted a fever which terminated her life. Both were members of the Methodist Episcopal church. The father served as a class leader. In politics he was a Whig. In their family were eight children, of whom two are now living:
Henderson P., who is postmaster of Highland, Kentucky, and Singleton L. Those who have passed away are: John; William; Benjamin; Nelson, who was a member of the Third Kentucky Infantry for three years; Margaret A.; and Eliza J.
Mr. Young, of this review, was reared upon the home farm in Lincoln county, Kentucky, and at the age of nineteen years married Jane Bastin, who was born in that state, a daughter of Thomas and Jude Bastin. She died in December, 1863. Of the six children born of that marriage, two are living: Benjamin, of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and James M. of Woods county, Oklahoma. Nelson, William, Jude, and Mary J. have departed this life. For his second wife Mr. Young chose Mrs. Eliza (Martin) Miller, a widow. She died in Macoupin county, Illinois, in 1874. Of the four children born of this marriage three are yet living: Abraham L., of Paxon township, Pratt county; John, of the same township; and Doc, who is engaged in business in Ingersoll, Oklahoma. Henry is deceased. In 1876, in Macoupin county, Illinois, Mr. Young
wedded Mrs. Mary (Lidster) Johnson, a daughter of William Lidster. She was born in Morgan county, Illinois, and was one of the early settlers of Macoupin county, that state. Her father was a soldier in the war of 1812. He married Elizabeth Riley, who was born in Tennessee and was a daughter of Jacob Riley, a soldier of the Mexican war. The parents of Mrs. Young had five children: Mrs. Ann Louisa Butler, now deceased; Mrs. Martha Thompson; Mrs. Mary Jane Young; Mrs. Elizabeth Keller, of Paxon township; and Mrs. Elvira Atkinson, who died in Illinois. The father died of quick consumption at the age of thirty-nine years, while the wife passed away at the age of forty-three years. She was a member of the Baptist church. He, too, was a believer in Christianity and in his political faith was a Whig. By the
third marriage Mr. Young has five children: Charles M., who is married and follows farming in Paxon township; Hattie, the wife of John Howerton, a farmer of the same township; Marcus M., who married Nora Stephenson, a native of Linn county, Missouri, and a daughter of Henry Stephenson, their home being now on his father's farm, which he operates; Joseph M., of Belvidere, Kansas, who is in the railroad service; and Jesse at home.
In 1864 Mr. Young sold his farm in Kentucky on account of the hostile feelings engendered by the war, and removed to Macoupin county, Illinois. He there purchased one hundred and twenty acres of good farm land, where he carried on agricultural pursuits and stock raising for fifteen years. His next removal took him to Gage county, Nebraska, in 1879, and after one year he went to Andrew county, Missouri, where he remained two years. Later he spent sixteen months in Harper county, Kansas, near Harper City, and in 1884 came to Pratt county, where he purchased his present farm. He was one of the first settlers in Paxon township. There were no houses in sight, but he courageously took up the work of developing and improving his land, being assisted by his sons and step-sons. He had a team of two cows with which to operate his farm. He built a house fourteen by sixteen feet and this served as a family home for some time, but later he erected a more commodious residence, built a good barn, planted an orchard and to-day has two hundred and forty acres under a high state of cultivation. In 1884 he sold fodder for one hundred dollars. He has seen hard times and in 1885 he had to mortgage his farm, but in 1898 he cleared this of all indebtedness, and is to-day the owner of this valuable tract on which he is raising cattle and hogs. He also has one hundred acres planted to wheat. In addition to his
home place he rents a tract of one hundred and sixty acres. There is a grove of eight acres upon his place and a bearing orchard from which he sells much fruit, thus materially adding to his income.
In politics Mr. Young was for many years a Republican, but later became identified with the People's party. He and his wife are both active members and earnest workers in the Baptist church and have labored earnestly to promote the work of the Sunday school, Mrs. Young having served as superintendent for many years. Both are highly respected people, honored by all who know them and they have reared a family of children who are a credit to their name.
