Henry Christian Andrew Harmon Young was born in Saxony, Germany and immigrated to the United Sates in 1817. He settled in Union County, Pennsylvania, where he worked as a schoolmaster, farmer, organist, and lay minister. Recognized today as a prolific fraktur artist, Young’s varied works often included portraiture and he used both German and English text. An eight pointed red and blue star with a central solid yellow circle was another trademark.
