iates In the law business, the late
George W. Hayden. was the attorney
for the Cleveland Iron Mining com
pany, now the Cleveland-Cliff Iron
company. The firm was one OF the
most successful law concerns in the
upper peninsula, and their practice
took both members into every court
in this part OF the state, while they
also won many important cases in
the higher courts.
Mr.. Young served the city as its at
torney for a number OF years and was
Marquette county's prosecutor for
several terms, giving up this work at
a time when he found II necessary to
give his attention 10 greater respon-
sibilities.
Mr.. Young was most successful in
politics, and he was always regarded
as one of the staunchest Republicans
in the entire state. During the IL
years that he represented the Twelfth
Congressional District OF Michigan he
was one of the most ardent OF the ad-
yocates for high tariff, and no man
who ever represented any district in
the lower house put up more effect
i've or more earnest fight to have the
duty on iron ore retained az the high
est possible figure Mr. Young knew,
as a result of his many years Of ex-
perience in the mining business, that
the product Of his home city and
county needed all the protection Il
could get in order for the iron min
ing communities might retain GER
tain measure OF prosperity. II was
largely through Mr.. Young's efforts
that a tariff on iron ore was retained.
as many of his colleagues advocated
the complete removal of the duty.
Mr. Young represented the Second
district of Marquette county in the
Michigan legislature for some years
and his work at Lansing was Of
most satisfactory nature He was all
ways regarded as one of the leaders
OF the house and was one OF the most
efficient representatives who was ever
sent down from the upper peninsula
The deceased held many important
places on Republican committees in
the state and nation. He was for
many years chairman of the Ishpem-
ing city committee. and also served
as chairman of the Republican com
mittee for Marquette county and as
chairman Of the state central commit
tee He presided over many city,
county and dislr conventions years
before his name Vac ever mentioned
for congress
Mr.. Young held the office OF presi
dent of the Miners National bank
ever since the resignation of the late
Frederick Braastad. some three years
ago. He was director Of the inst-
tuition for many years before being
elected to the presidency.
