Mr. Young was a traveling salesman for Fones Brothers Hardware, formerly located in Little Rock, Arkansas. The family attended the Arkadelphia Methodist Church. The Young family resided in the home for 31 years until it was sold to Ethyl Herbert, widow of Joseph Herbert in 1952. Mr. Herbert managed the Arkadelphia Milling Company prior to his death. Mrs. Herbert retained ownership of the home until 1968 when she sold it to Richard and Martha Walls. The Walls sold the home in 1977 to Rex and Mary Jane Cooper. Mr. Cooper was an administrator at the Arkadelphia Human Development Center (formerly the Arkadelphia Children's Colony). Mrs. Cooper taught history at Arkadelphia High School until her retirement. The Coopers resided in the home for twenty-seven years where they reared their two sons, Jay and Stan. Following Mr. Cooper's death, Mrs. Cooper sold the house in 2004 to the current owner, Brenda Hagerich.
