Catherine Swartley YOUNG is descended from two of the oldest families in Pennsylvania, the SWARTLEYs and the YOUNGs. She was born at Doyleston, Bucks Co., Penn., Feb. 23, 1842. Her father, Joseph YOUNG, of Northampton county, Penn., was the son of John and Elizabeth YOUNG, who occupied the premises that had been in the family for nearly two hindered years. Joseph YOUNG was publisher and proprietor of a newspaper for many years. He served in the Union army during the war of the Rebellion. Mrs. RINDLAUB's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Fox (SWARTLEY) YOUNG, died when Mrs. RINDLAUB was only twenty-one days old, and she had one brother, John S. YOUNG, who died in the summer of 1870. She received her education in the public schools, at Ingham's Seminary, in Doylestown, and at the State Normal school in Millersville, Penn., and has always taken an active part in all matters pertaining to the advancement of the social and moral condition of her sex. She is a member of the Order of the Eastern Star; of the W.R.C., in which she has been President; of the Order of Rachel Rebekahs, I.O.O.F., of which she has been President; and of the Congregational Improvement Society, of which she has been President. She is at present (1901) Department Chaplain of the Woman's Relief Corps of the State of Wisconsin, and vice-president of the Woman's Suffrage Club of Platteville; and devotes much of her time as leader of the Young Ladies Missionary Society and to mission work generally.
