I. H. YOUNG.
I. H. Young, a mining engineer associated, with the Cambria Fuel Company at Cambria, Wyoming, gaining knowledge and power in his work by reason of broad study and wide experience, was born in Fort Kearney, Nebraska, on the 9th of February, 1883, a son of Richard F. and Mary (Mitchell) Young, the former a native of Canada. while the latter was horn on the border between France and Switzerland. Richard F. Young became a resident of the United States in his youth, was married in Kearney county, Nebraska, and there engaged in farming for many years, being continuously identified with its agricultural interests until 1915. His widow still survives and is now residing in North Platte, Nebraska. I. H. Young completed his education in the Gothenburg (Neb.) high school and in his youthful days he took up the work of electrical engineering, at which he was employed in various states through a period of seven years. From 1904 until 1908 he represented Fairbanks-Morse on the road out of Omaha, and in 1908 he was employed at Fort Dodge, Iowa. In 1909-10 he was located at Des Moines, Iowa, where he was engaged in electrical work, and in 1911 took charge of the electric light plant at Newcastle and remained active in the control of that business until it was sold in February, 1912. In the latter part of the month he arrived in Cambria, Wyoming, where he became electrician for the Cambria Fuel Company, and in October of the same year he went into the office, in charge of the engineering department, in which capacity he has since served. His record in this connection is most creditable. His previous experience enabled him readily to pick up the threads of the business in connection with his specific duties and he is now doing important work for the company, solving many complex and difficult problems according to modern scientific methods. On the 27th of February, 1907, Mr. Young was united in marriage to Miss Anna Quist, of Gothenburg, Nebraska. His political endorsement is given to the republican party, and fraternally he is connected with Newcastle Lodge, No. 13, A. F. & A. M., while in Wyoming Consistory, No. 1, A. & A. S. R., he has attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite. He has also crossed the sands of the desert with the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of Kalif Temple at Sheridan. His religious faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal church, to which Mrs. Young also belongs. Both are held in the highest esteem and their circle of friends is almost coextensive with their circle of acquaintances. Since coming to Wyoming, Mr. Young has been watchful of opportunities pointing to judicious investment and he now has extensive holdings and has become recognized as one of the representative business men of Cambria.
