About Della Vernice Young
Della Vernice Clark was the fifth child born to Joseph Clark and Laura Ann Larsen Clark. Della was born on June 6, 1895, in St. Charles, Bear Lake County, Idaho. Joseph had been born in England in October, 1866, and Laura Ann in Idaho in June of 1868. In the 1900 U.S. Federal Census, the family was still living in Saint Charles, Idaho, Joseph and Laura had been married twelve years, and they have had six children. Their children are listed as: Laura N., 11, Joseph E., 10, Winne E., 8, Florence N., 7, Della V., 4, and Rosella M., one year old. Joseph was working as a farm laborer, and he owned his home free from a mortgage. Both of Joseph's parents were born in England, and both of Laura Ann Larsen Clark's parents were born in Denmark. Joseph had come to America in 1877 and had been naturalized as a citizen of the USA. He was the son of Lorenzo Dow Young and Sarah Ann Sanderson.
The family was still living in St. Charles during the 1910 census, and since 1900 two more children had been born to them, Alan J., in 1902, and Calmar W., in 1909. Joseph was still working as a farmer, and his son Joseph E. was working as a farm laborer on the home farm. Living next door was the Lorenzo D. Young and Sarah E. Young family, with their five children, and their 14-year old son, Richard Riley Young, became Della's husband four years later.
Richard Riley Young and Della V. Clark were married in 1914 in Bear Lake County, Idaho, and three years later when Richard completed his World War I Draft Registration Card in St. Charles, Bear Lake, Idaho, on June 15, 1917, he described himself as being tall with a medium build, brown eyes and black hair. He was 22 years old at the time, having been born November 23, 1895, in St. Charles, Idaho. His profession was as a laborer for the Phoenix Construction Company in St. Charles, Idaho. He stated that he had a wife and one child who were his dependent family.
Three years later in the 1920 census, Richard and Della were still living in St. Charles, and they have started their family. Richard, 25, Della, 24, (she is listed as Vernice L. in the census record), and their children are Blanche, three years and three months old, and Elaine, one year and nine months old. They owned their own home free from a mortgage. Richard was working as a laborer and doing general farming.
Della's mother, Laura, was living nearby with her two youngest sons, Alan, 18, and Calmar, 11, and her daughter-in-law, Maxine Clark. Also living in Laura's home was her son-in-law, Oliver Floyd, 33, and his 3 year old son, Norman. Oliver was listed as a widower, so one of Laura's daughter's had passed away at a young age, probably Winnie, who would have been 28 years old in 1920, and was the closest in age to Oliver Floyd.
By 1927, Richard and Della had moved to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and he was working as a "slasher man" for the Edward Rutledge Timber company. They were living at 1005 Mountain Avenue, per a U.S. City Directory listing for that year. In the 1930 census, they were still at 1005 Mountain Avenue in a home they owned valued at $700. They had a radio in their home (which was one of the questions the census enumerator's asked in 1930). Two more children had joined the family, Doris, born in about 1920, and Roger in about 1926, since he was four years and four months old at the time. Richard and Della had been married for 19 years. Richard was now working as a laborer in a lumber mill. In a 1938 U.S. City Directory listing, Richard is listed as an "edging catcher" for Potlatch Forests.
The family was still in Coeur d'Alene in the 1940 census, and Richard was still working in the lumber mill as an "edging catcher". Their daughter, Doris, 21, was working as a dental assistant. For the 44 weeks Richard worked 40 hours per week in the previous year, he earned an income of $1,080. Doris worked for 2 weeks at 42 hours per week and earned an income of $30. They were still living in the same home on Mountain Avenue. Richard and Vernice had an 8th grade education, Doris was a high school graduate, and Roger was in the 8th grade, and still attending school at age 14.
Per a U.S. City Directory for Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in 1938, Richard was still working as an edging catcher for Potlatch Forest Company, and they were still living on Mountain Avenue. When Richard Riley Young completed his World War II Draft Registration card in 1942, he was 47 years old, living with his wife, Vernice, at 1005 Mountain Avenue in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai, Idaho, and was still working for Potlatch Forests in Coeur d'Alene. He stated his date of birth as October 24, 1894.
Nine years later, Richard and Vernice D. Young were listed in a U.S. City Directory for Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in 1947, and Richard was listed as a fireman for Potlatch Forest Company, and they were still living on Mountain Avenue. It appears that he held that profession until at least 1952.
Richard passed away in June of 1975, and Della passed away in February, 1978, both in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
