He married a Miss Rockey, and their children were Jacob, who died in Dallas county, Iowa; George W. of Mifflinburg, Penn; John of Three Rivers, Mich.; Maria, who became the wife of Hugh Reish, and died at their home in Indiana; Sarah, wife of George Catherman; and Margaret, who after her sister's death, also married Mr. Catherman.
After the death of his first wife, Adam wedded Elizabeth Swartzlander, a native of Buffalo township. Their children are James, of Darke county, Ohio; William D.; Reuben, of White Deer township Union county; Charles, a physician of Lynchburg, Va.; Harvey, who follows farming near Bellevue, Ohio; Oliver, an agriculturist of Three Rivers, Mich.; Oscar, a farmer of South Dakota; Ellen, wife of Aaron Nogel, of Buffalo Roads; Leannah, wife of Oscar Fury, of Constantine, Mich.; Harriet, wife of William Kersteter, of Buffalo township; Mary, wife of Milton Hendricks, of Buffalo Roads; and Susanna, wife of Miles Miller, of Buffalo township, Union county. The
mother of this family died in August, 1866, and was buried in Driesbach cemetery.
Adam Young was again married, June 13, 1867, his third wife being Sarah Spigelmeyer, who was born in Buffalo township, April 11, 1843, a daughter of Abram and Mary (Young) Spiegelmeyer. They had three children-Martin, who died at the age of eighteen years; Ida M. and Nora M., who are living with their mother. The father died October 8, 1872, and was buried in Driesbach
cemetery. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, and in politics was a stanch Democrat. In business he was very energetic, persevering and successful, and at his death left an estate valued at $60,000. In manner he was very genial, and his hearty laugh could be heard for a long distance. His farm, which was one of the neatest and best in the county, was sold to Addison Baker. Mrs. Young bought her mother's farm, and now resides there.
