YOUNG, EGERTON RYERSON, teacher, Methodist missionary, lecturer, and author; b. 7 April 1840 in Crosby Township, Upper Canada, son of the Reverend William Young and Amanda Waldron; m. 25 Dec. 1867, in Toronto, Elizabeth Bingham of Bradford, Ont., and they had eight children, of whom four daughters and one son survived infancy; d. 5 Oct. 1909 in Bradford and was buried in Bowmanville, Ont.
Egerton Ryerson Young’s relation to his namesake, Methodist leader and educator Egerton Ryerson*, was religious and cultural, not genealogical. Both his father and his mother’s brother Solomon Waldron were itinerant Wesleyan Methodist preachers and “cotemporaries,” as John Saltkill Carroll* described them, of the Ryersons and William Case*. Family ties infused Young’s childhood with the rural evangelical Methodism of an itinerant church not yet dominated by the urbanism of the later 1800s.
