Title	Centennial Photograph of Manoah Young
Subject	Daily Life
Place	Mansfield (Ohio) Richland County (Ohio)
Description	Little is known about Manoah Young (c. 1800-1888), except that he was an early settler of Richland County. He immigrated to the area from Maryland around 1834. This photograph is 2.4" x 3.9" (6 x 10 cm). It is part of a larger collection of photographs taken by Richland County Photographer Artemus Whissemore. During the 1876 centennial celebration, Whissemore offered to take a free photograph of any person over the age of sixty who had been a resident of the county for at least fifty years. Whissemore was born in Wayne County, Ohio, and had been practicing photography in Mansfield for nearly twenty years when the photographs were taken. An entry in the History and Biography of Richland County (1880) proclaimed that: "his reputation as an artist is so extensively known that it needs but little comment." Although the collection originally consisted of 1,194 items, only 892 remained when the collection was transferred to OGS in the 1950s, one quarter of which are unidentified.
