Biographical / Historical
Guy Bell Young (1874-1962) fought in the Spanish American War, then received his law degree from WVU in 1903. He practiced law in Glenville, West Virginia up until his death in 1962. He also served as Gilmer County Prosecuting Attorney in the 1920s.
Guy Bayard Young (1908-1999), son of Guy Bell Young (1874-1962), was a chemistry graduate student at WVU in the 1930s, during which time he held a side job freelancing newspaper articles and photographs. He later went on to teach math and science in Gilmer County Schools, write for the Parkersburg News, and work for American Cyanamid.

Scope and Contents
Collection includes mostly West Virginia University ephemera, publications, photographs, and negatives, collected by the Young family. Much of the WVU ephemera was likely collected by Guy Bell Young (1874-1962) during his time at the university. Also includes photographs and negatives produced by his son, Guy Bayard Young (1908-1999). Many of these images are from 1936-1937 and pertain to WVU; subjects include Esther Benford (the first woman to receive a civil engineering degree from WVU, and about whom Bayard Young wrote a news article), WVU football games (especially WVU vs. University of Pittsburgh), WVU's Corps of Cadets and their band, and various other student activities. Also includes a few photos of Jackson's Mill, and images of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Jennings Randolph speaking from the back of a train.
Additional material from Guy Bell Young can be found in A&M 661, the Guy B. Young Papers.
Please note that most of the negatives were separated into two boxes in order to best facilitate preservation. Nitrate negatives and negatives of unknown material (box 2) were separated from acetate negatives (box 3). Where negatives from the same original container envelope had to be separated from each other due to material type, a "see also" note is included.
