Department of Special Collections, University of the Pacific Library
Eleanor L. Young (c1890-1965) was the daughter of Junius Davis Young
(1858-1917), a physician at the Stockton Insane Asylum, and Nellie L. Roberts
(1871-1938). She was educated in the Stockton public schools and spent her
entire life in the city of her birth. A woman of wealth, Miss Young devoted her
life to civic activities and charity work. She gave these materials to Holt
Atherton Special Collections in 1958.
The great body of the Young papers consist of Miss Young's fifth through
twelfth grade schoolwork (1901-1908). The papers also include notes on Miss
Young's family, personal correspondence and photographs.
