YOUTSEY, FRANKLIN, Merchant; post-office Russell. Born in Lincoln township, Lucas county, Iowa, August 19, 1860, and has resided in the county almost continuously. He received his education in the common schools and in the select schools at Chariton. He worked on his father's farm until he had accumulated considerable property. In January, 1881, he formed a co-partnership with Mr. T. C. Scott, at Russell, and purchased the store of Mr. W. H. Branham. In a short time he purchased the interest of Mr. Scott, and the business is now conducted under the firm name of Hatcher & Youtsey. They carry a fine stock of dry goods, clothing and groceries. Mr. Youtsey is an enterprising young man, and has a bright future.
