My Grandmother - Nina Muriel Young. About 1928 in DeKalb, Decatur County, Iowa.

My Grandmother - Nina Muriel Young (McDowell) near Grand River, Decatur Co., Iowa.

Three generations of the Andrew Jackson Young family of Decatur County, Iowa. Back L-R Catherine (Harvey), Nina Muriel (McDowell), Erma Deane (Brammer), George Curtis Young (my great grandfather), Margaret Mae (Goucher) Young (my great grandmother), Clifford; Front row L-R Edna Doreen (Fry), Cecil, seated Rachel Jane (Wilson) Young (my great great grandmother), Margaret Georgia (Stark), seated Andrew Jackson Young (my great great grandfather, son of John Landis Young).

Stewart Glenn and Bessie (Young) Glenn of Van Wert. Bessie was Andrew Jackson Young and Rachel Jane Wilson's youngest daughter.

My grandmother wrote "Harrison Brown - 3rd or 4th cousin" on the back of this postcard photo. There were two Henry Harrison Browns in the family but I believe this one is the son of Huldah Young and Joseph Brown, b. 1856 and died 1943 which would actually make him her father's first cousin. The other Henry Harrison Brown would not have been a cousin but married a younger sister of Huldah's - Eliza Ann Young - and lived from 1839-1911 which was before my grandmother was born.
