ARCHIBALD ALFRED YOUNG, Business Director. Following in the footsteps of his 
father, educationally and in business enterprise, the late Archibald Alfred 
Young, son of the late Alexander Young, expanded and continued with marked 
success the commercial field opened by the founder of the Young family in 
Hawaii.
  Mr. Young was born in Honolulu, Nov. 20, 1872. His mother was Mrs. Alexander 
(Pearce) Young. Receiving his early education at Punahou Preparatory School, 
Mr. Young was sent to Oakland High School, Calif., going later to Scotland, 
his father’s birthplace, where he attended Night College at Glasgow. Like his 
father, Mr. Young prepared for future business life by becoming an apprentice, 
serving in such capacity in marine engineering with the Fairfield Shipbuilding 
and Engineering Co., on the Clyde, Scotland. He entered the firm in 1892, 
leaving in 1897 and shortly afterwards returned to Honolulu. Upon his return 
Mr. Young became one of the incorporators to The von Hamm-Young Co., a firm 
organized Jan. 30, 1899, with Mr. Young’s father as president. As it developed 
and entered new fields of business, the controlling interest was acquired by 
the son and C. C. von Hamm. Upon the death of the late Mr. Young, his son 
became president of the firm in 1910, an office he held until his untimely 
death in Honolulu, Jan. 4, 1925.
  Besides being president of The von Hamm-Young Co., Ltd., Mr. Young was 
president of the Alexander Young Estate, Ltd., Alexander Young Building Co., 
Ltd., Territorial Hotel Co., Ltd., and vice-president, Waiakea Mill Co. He was 
a directing officer of Leahi Home, and a member of the Pacific, Commercial and 
Oahu Country Clubs of Honolulu and Honolulu Lodge No. 616, B.P.O.E.
  He married Maude Mary Gillet of Detroit, Mich., in Honolulu, July 18, 1902. 
They had three children, Alice Pauline, Archibald Alfred and Nelson Gillet 
Young.
