came to America when very young; received a common-school education, and grad-
uated at the law school of Cincinnati College. When not quite sixteen years old
he entered the United States Regular Army; this was during the last years of the
Mexican war. He joined the Union army during the Southern rebellion, and was
appointed captain in July, 1862; promoted to lieutenant-colonel in 1863; commis-
sioned colonel in April, 1864; and on 13th of March, 1865, the President brevetted
him brigadier-general of volunteers, for gallant conduct on the battle-field. After
the war he was elected to the legislature for Hamilton County, O., and in October,
1867, he was elected recorder of said County. In 1871 he was nominated for State
senator, and was the only Republican elected from Cincinnati to the State senate.
When President Hayes left the governor's chair to take that of the Chief Magis-
trate, General Young became his successor as governor of the State of Ohio. He
kindly assumed the task of compiling a biographical sketch of Col. John Riddle,
and accomplished the work in a very able manner.
