Growing Up Young - The Story of The Elias and Alma Young Family (Paperback)

The story of the Elias and Alma Young family began nearly 400 years ago when Henry Young was born in England. Generations later the Young family would travel to Maryland before the Revolutionary War began. They made their way south and settled in present day Stokes County, North Carolina in the 1750's. They continued to grow and prosper while keeping their roots in central North Carolina. Five generations after they came to North Carolina Elias Linville Young was born. He would later marry Grace Alma McGee and together they raised nine wonderful children. We will take you back to that day in 1910 when Elias and Alma said "I do" and through the next 54 years of their marriage. They raised a family through the hardest years in our country's history. Through two World Wars and the Great Depression they were able to survive through dedication, hard work, and love of their family. This book will take the reader back in time to the early 1900's and you will experience life, Growing Up Young.
