William John Young relocated to Columbia, South Carolina to be near his uncle (Margaret's brother), William Dare Love, who owned a department store in Columbia. William Young worked in his uncle's store while learning the retail trade. He married Kate Elizabeth Wiltberger (who was born December 19, 1854 in South Carolina) in 1873 and the couple became the parents of William Edward Young December 3, 1874. The 1880 U.S. Census shows the family, which by then included Kate's widowed mother, Ellen R. Wiltberger (widow of J. Roland Wiltberger), living at 38 Blanding Street in Columbia and William employed as a bookkeeper. The couple's daughter, Margaret Elizabeth Young was born in October 1882 in Columbia, followed by a son, Samuel Roland Young, born September 16, 1886. The 1897 City Directory of Columbia, South Carolina included a listing for William and family at 1309 Blanding Street with William employed as bookkeeper at Lorick and Lowrance, a grocery and hardware company. The 1900 U.S. Census shows the family at 1309 Blanding Street and William working as a bookkeeper for "a railroad." William J. Young died October 2, 1901 in Columbia, South Carolina. His wife, Kate Elizabeth Wiltberger Young, died March 12, 1906. William and Kate are both buried in the First Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Columbia, South Carolina.
William Edward Young was listed in the 1897 City Directory for Columbia, South Carolina, living at his parents' home and working as a stenographer. He married Alice Wilson Hart (born in May, 1875 in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia to Benjamin Allen and Claudia Cornelia Wilson Hart) in 1899 and, per the June 1, 1900 U.S. Census, the couple was living with the parental Youngs. Soon thereafter, Edward Hart Young, William and Alice's first child was born, but died September 26, 1900. The couple's second child, Alicia Hart Young, was born in 1903 followed by their third, Claudia Wilson Young, born October 29, 1907. By 1918, the family had relocated to Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia, as documented by William's September 10, 1918 World War I draft registration form, on which he lists his birthdate as December 3, 1874, his address as 213 Huntingdon St., East in Savannah, and his nearest relative as Alice H. Young, his wife. The 1920 U.S. Census shows William, Alice, Alicia and Claudia still residing at the Huntingdon St. address and William lists his occupation as District Manager for the Southern Cotton Oil Co. According to the 1930 U.S. Census, William, Alice, Alicia and Claudia still lived on Huntingdon with William working as assistant manager for Cotton Seed Products Company, and Claudia working as a stenographer for a cigar manufacturer, but the family had been joined by Alice's younger brother, Benjamin Allen Hart, Jr., who listed his occupation as "building contractor." He was born June 29, 1878 in Bibb County, Georgia. His September 12, 1918 World War I draft registration form indicates he was living with the Young family even at that much earlier date, and working for the F. R. Johnson Co. as a material checker. Benjamin died October 1, 1935 in Savannah. Claudia Wilson Young married Charles Jackson Richards, Jr. before 1935; they had a son, Charles J. Richards, November 28, 1937; Claudia's family and Alicia were living together per the 1940 USC at the Huntingdon address in Savannah; Claudia's husband and Alicia were working as stenographers at different companies. Documentation of the deaths of William and Alice has not been found. Alicia Hart Young died April 9, 1957 in Chatham County, Claudia died February 7, 1982 in Chatham Co., GA. Her husband, Charles died June 23, 1969 in Chatham Co., GA; their son, Charles J. Richards, died April 3, 1973 in Chatham Co., GA
Margaret Elizabeth Young appears in the 1910 U.S. Census for Columbia, South Carolina as Miss M.E. Young living with brother William Edward and family at 1309 Blanding Street, employed as a secretary in an insurance office. Sometime between 1910 and 1917, she married her sister-in-law's brother, Claude Wilson Hart (born in 1874 in Macon, Georgia). The 1910 U.S. Census for Greenville, South Carolina includes Claude Hart living in a rooming house and employed as a "salesman - drug store." After their marriage, Claude and Margaret Hart probably lived in Greenville. Claude Wilson Hart died on May 12, 1917 in Greenville. Margaret apparently returned to Columbia, South Carolina following Claude's death as she died there on January 21, 1918. Margaret's death certificate appears below.
