?i?From the History of the County of Peterborough

?/i?William Edward Young, deceased, was born in Perth County (actually Perth, Lanark County), Ontario in 1824. He was of Scotch and English parentage, his people living for some time in Ireland before coming to this country. They came to Canada at an early day and settled in Perth County (actually Perth, Lanark County, Ontario). Mr. Young started in life as a shoemaker, but afterwards carried on a general store and mill at Marmora Village, which he gave up and came to Belmont Township in 1856, settling on lot 17, concession 2, where the family still live. He owned at his death about 1,000 acres of land, his original amount being about 500 acres. He married in 1851, Maria Campion, of Marmora Township, who, with three sons and seven daughters survive him. Mr. Young was proinent in the municipal affairs of the township, and was about nine years in the Council. He was a faithful and consistent member of the Canada Methodist Church. He died in 1878.

(handwritten note: Son of Daniel Young and Mary Ann who moved from Perth to Stirling about 1835. Daniel had a shoe making store at Perth. Mary Ann's father, Wm. Edward Tully may live somewhere there although Mrs. Robert Sargeant mentioned he may have gone to Newcastle or Bowmanville. He died in 1845).

Daniel T. Young, son of the above, was born in Hastings County, Ontario, in 1853, and at the age of eighteen months his people settled in this township. He lived with the family at the homestead till the spring of 1883, When he exchanged his right in the old place for 300 acres on lot 14, concession 8, to which he soon after moved, and where he now resides. He married, in 1882, Mary J. Aunger, of Blairton, daughter of John L. Aunger, of Blairton, an Englishman by birth.

Birth:
BLAIRTON -BOOM TO BUST

Heading 8 kilometers west out of Marmora, and two kilometers north on Blairton Road will take you to the west shores of Crowe Lake, and the remains of the thriving iron mining town of Blairton. Beside the Blairton trailer park are the old iron ore pits, completely grown over, hardly traceable, yet a reminder of the booming dreams of long gone iron masters and railway entrepreneurs. The area now is cottage country with a few permanent homes, with not a trace of its former glory.

In 1907, John L. Aunger, manager of the mine wrote of the 1870's in Blairton:
"Apart from the hucksters, the Town presented an idyllic image. Blairton was beautifully and skilfully laid out by the late John Damble, on high ground of hard sandy soil, the streets descending in all directions. Mud is never seen here, hence one can walk out in slippers after the heaviest rain and never get their feet wet. The scenery of Crowe Lake with its islands, coves and points, is, to say the least, picturesque in the highest degree."
It was not just nature and Town design that marked Blairton. For it was, says Aunger, "a place of harmony and concord," and certainly most respectable. Indeed the former site manager claimed, "there was a quiet vying as to the claim of rank with the "upper crust" of society." The Town was declared as a prolific spot for "match-making" and matrimony.

Ruth Tierney writes in her 1986 book, " Echoes from the Past":

"The settlement of Blairton (after 1867) had grown into a bustling little community. Named after a Scottish settler it boasted a railroad station, telegraph office, three general stores, two hotels and sundry blacksmith shops. No fewer than eleven streets had been laid and the population had increased rapidly to a total of five hundred. This was considered to be a sufficient number of people to warrant the expense of establishing a post office. Permission was granted by the Crown and the Blairton Post Office was opened on August 19, 1867 by local resident Roger Bates. The very existence of Blairton was due to the discovery of iron ore, resulting in a mine that became the largest producer of iron in Ontario (called Canada West from 1841 until 1867).
