LOUISIANA, MO__________________________________190_____

My Dear Nell,
It gave me very great pleasure to hear from you and to be assured that you and the Doctor and the children are all well comfortable and happy. We have had several weeks of snow and storm peculiar to this latitude, for the last four or five weeks but hope now that the back-bone of the winter is about broken and that our condition will be more tolerable than it has been. Still we know that we must wait many long weeks first coming as the grass and flowers.
Jumping at once into the middle of the main subject of this communication I must tell you that my Grandfather John Fagg was living in Prince George County, Maryland at the date of my fathers birth in August 1775. The exact locality I never knew but it could not have very far from the ground upon which the battle of Brandywine was fought because it was written of the guns. I do not know whether my Grandfather was ever regularly enlisted in the American Army or not I am inclined to think he never was or I should have heard. The matter discussed by my Grandmother who survived him many years. About the end of the war of the Revolution and when my Father was seven or eight years of age the family moved from that country to Prince William County Virginia settling on the Occoquan River (a tributary of the Potomac) near the old town of Drumfries [now Dumfries].
From that point they subsequently moved to Spotsylvania Co, VA where they continued to reside until my Grandfather's death in 1827. I was not more than five years old when his death occurred and his connection with the Revolutionary War may have been discussed without impressing me at all. I remember much of my Grandmother's talk about her Brother's (Ben Gray) being Master of Transportation in the Division commanded by Genl Lafayette.
This was after the Death of my Grandfather as I now remember the battle of Brandywine St(sic) George Co Maryland was the result of a movement by Genl Washinton to intercept troops that were landed near that point for the purpose of re-enforcing Genl Hesse after the battle of Trenton. If not in the regular army I think it is very probable that my Grandfather may have been among the Militia who were called on to assist Genl Washington in his operating in that locality. I am very sorry that no effort has ever been made to preserve the family history. I am quite sure of the fact that my Grandfather was the only man of that name who resided in the County of Prince George Maryland at the time of the Revolutionary War. Don't forget to impress upon the Doctor and the children that [me and] my wife are in the habit of discussing frequently all the events connected with our delightful visits to your house and we never fail to express the wish that we may be able to repeat sometime in the near future. Much love from both of us to your entire house hold.

EDUCATED IN WEST
Dr. Young received his medical education at Toland Medical college, now known as the Affiliated colleges, in San Francisco, afterwards taking a course at Jefferson College, Philadelphia. Upon his return to California, he practiced medicine with Dr. Crawford.

WAS LEADING CITIZEN
Dr. Young always took an active interest in the business life of the community, and in politics as a Democrat, serving one term in the state legislature. Before going to the legislature, he served as coroner of the county and the same time as a school trustee of the city of Stockton.

WAS BANK PRESIDENT
At the time of his death, besides being engaged in agricultural pursuits, he was actively connected with various financial institutions in this city, among them being the Stockton Land, Loan & Building association, becoming a director in February 1890, and in 1898 upon the resignation of J. M Welsh, its first president, becoming president of that institution, continuing as such down to the time of his death.

The people of Stockton feel keenly the passing of Dr. Young, so well established was his reputation for honesty and the consideration and interest which he always showed an took in others, whether they needed encouragement, counsel or aid, and it can be well said that his predominating characteristic was his fearless denunciation of the wrong.

WAS FRATERNAL MAN
Dr. Young was a member of the Elks, the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. He took great interest in the activities of these fraternal organizations.

A GENTLEMAN
A genial gentleman, embodying in spirit and personality, the highest qualities of an American gentleman, has by the death of Dr. J. D. Young been lost to Stockton.

Dr. Young was a successful man. As a physician and alienist, his work at the state hospital gained wide recognition. As a business man he achieved success, being president of the savings department of the San Joaquin Valley Bank. In a social way he numbered his friends as legion. Back of the charm of his manner was great strength of character. His integrity, his kindness of heart and his sympathy with all that is good and true in life made him a marked man despite his aversion to public notice. In no way did he stand forth more conspicuously than in his patriotism. He was jealous of his country's honor and was quick to resent even the spoken word of harsh criticism. Dr. Young's health had been failing for months, and the fact was obvious to his friends. Bus as weakness and gloom fell, he lost none of his vigor in behalf of his convictions, none of his affection for his friends. Along his life's pathway he dropped many good deeds, and in every instance his conscience was his only master. He was of that great stock which North Carolina has given to the world, and in which the tar heel state has full right to maintain a prideful interest. But he was more. He was a Californian, loyal and devoted to his adopted state. He gloried in the history and destiny of his home. His friendly face will be missed, but his invisible presence will brood long over the circles in which he as a beloved figure.

Per Ralph Yardley cartoon for the Stockton Record - publication date unknown - Porter Roberts, Abby Hammond, J D Young and Samuel Langdon were all part of the same social set - and played tennis together.
