The following is a biographical sketch taken from History of Gallatin, Saline, Hamilton, Franklin and Williamson Counties, Illinois. Chicago: Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1887, pages 588-589. As was frequent with these sketches some details are incorrect or incomplete.

"Hon. E. D. Youngblood, county judge of Gallatin County, was born in Perry County, Ill., in October, 1838, and is the son of Isaiah and Electa (Jones) Youngblood, the former of German descent, born in Georgia in 1794, and the latter in New York in 1801. The father, a farmer, was a soldier of the war of 1812, and located at Mobile when peace was declared. Then after a residence in the county of his marriage, Franklin County, Ill., he went to Perry County in 1835, and there died in 1850[sic]. His wife died in 1841. They had ten children; these mentioned are living: Corvina I., wife of Geo. W. Sturdevant, Jefferson County, Ill.; Louisa H., wife of J. P. Ford, Los Angeles County, Cal.; Lovina C., wife of M. C. Hawkins, Carbondale, Ill.; Sarah A., wife of J. R. Hawkins, Perry County, Ill.; William J., Franklin County; Francis M., lawyer, Benton, Ill.; E. D. and Rachel, wife of W. W. Robertson, Franklin County. With a limited amount of common-school education our subject began life as farmer in Perry County and Saline County, and in 1866 began the study of law with his brother at Benton, and caring for his family, as clerk and otherwise, he sought admission to the bar in Mount Vernon, Ill., began practice at Harrisburg, Ill., and in 1871 changed to Shawneetown. In 1871 he attended the law school of Judge A. D. Duff, of whose character and manhood he was a great admirer. In April, 1857, he married Eunice M., a native of Pennsylvania and reared in Indiana, daughter of Geo. N. Kinney, a teacher. Only one of their four children is living, Eva, wife of Dr. J. F. Barton, of Inman, Gallatin Co., Ill. For the last twelve years a leading attorney of his home, our subject was elected city judge in 1873, in 1876 elected state's attorney of Gallatin County, in 1880 a Hancock and English elector, in 1882 elected county judge, and re-elected in 1886; in 1881 appointed master in chancery by Judge Conger, and re-appointed in 1883 and 1885. He is an able speaker and debater and a skillful criminal lawyer, a member of the A. F. & A. M., I. O. O. F. and K. H., and the Presbyterian Church."
