| INDIAN GLEN FARM, consisting of
one hundred and forty-four acres, owned by John Young, whose address
is Union Springs, R. F. D. Its location is on the Gully road, extending east
to the town line, on Lot 113. Union Springs is five miles distant. The soil
products consist of hay and grain, while dairying and the raising of sheep
and swine furnish a large per cent. of the farm's resources. Butter is made
for the local markets. The name is derived from the fact that this is one
of the locations used by the Indians for raising corn, the entire crop of
which was destroyed by General Sullivan at the time of his raid. Numerous
Indian relics have been discovered and preserved by Mr. Young. The building
improvements have been made by the present owner, who is one of the progressive
farmers of his town. The prospect from the residence is delightful, and the
display of flowers and hedges add not a little to the attractiveness of this
fine farm. Wells at the house and a never-failing spring for the use of the
barns and stock supply abundance of water. There are twelve acres of mixed
timber. Allen Morgan was the first owner given by the record, from
him to Giles Slocum, (?) [sic] thence to John VanLiew, and
from him to the present owner in 1867. Mr. Young is a native of England,
born December, 1832. He married Miss Sarah Cumber, also a native of
England, in 1852, and emigrated to America in 1857, settling at Union Springs.
He has been a resident of Cayuga County since the date of his settlement,
with the exception of one year spent in Philadelphia. His family consists
of five children - three sons and two daughters - all living.
Mr. Young is an Elder of the Presbyterian Church at Scipio. |
