  Notes	James Young was probably born 25 Jul 1897, but it could have been as early as 1894, in Newberry County, South Carolina. his mother, Susie, was 24. His father, who may have been Ephraim Young was a farmer close to his wife's age. It is unclear when James made his way to Harrisburg, but all of the accounts of his death report that he had been living in hiarrisburg with his wife, Hattie, for some time before he enrolled in the CCC. Other than his gravestone, and his obituaries I have found very little documentation of the Life of James Young: I have not found his service records, his marriage certificate eludes me, and I am not entirely confident in the census data He died on September 26, 1933, in East Barre, Vermont, at the age of 39, and was buried in Lincoln Cemetery. His gravestone reads: "James Young Died Sept 26, 1933 Corp. Supply Co. 8 Regt. 100 1st Pioneer Inf." Of course...It took me awhile to find a death certificate Because he died in Vermont. Not a place you would typically go in search of a Black man's death certificate, hardly ever, but especially not when he's buried in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. So... The Civilian Conservation Corps Obituary: JAMES YOUNG. WORLD WAR VET AND MEMBER OF C.C.C. Is DEAD BARRE, Sept. 28. The body of James Young, 39, World War veteran and member of Company 349, Civilian Conservation Corps, at Camp Wilson, East Barre, who died at the City Hospital Tuesday, was sent yesterday to Harrisburg, Pa., for burial. Young Died after a cerebral hemorrhage. He was born at Pellsburg, Pa., but had lived in Harrisburg before coming to the camp at East Barre. He leaves his wife in Harrisburg and his mother, at Prosperity, S. C Burlington Daily News (1933) ‘Obituary for JAMES YOUNG’, 28 September, p. 6. Available at: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/112927522/obituary-for-james-young/ (Accessed: 11 November 2022). “The citizens of Barre watched with “open-mouthed” amazement when the first contingent of the Civilian Conservation Corps climbed down from the train at Depot Square on a warm July morning in 1933. The initial detachment just over 125 men, was comprised entirely of African-American veterans of the first World War, a “colored company” from what was, at that time, a segregated army.” (“How the CCC changed central Vermont”) How the CCC changed central Vermont (no date) Times Argus.
