Rev. Charles John Young was an Anglican clergyman who was also a naturalist with a specialty in ornithology. Young grew up in Britain and was educated at Cambridge. After his father's death in 1881, he decided to move to Canada with his wife and four children. Upon his arrival in 1883, he was a teacher in Classics at Perth Collegiate Institute. But he decided to pursue a new career in the Anglican Church into which he was ordained in 1886. In addition to his work with the Ontario Diocese, he also actively pursued his interest as a naturalist. He had a number of papers published by the Ottawa Field Naturalist and the Auk, and made reports to the Meteorological Office in Toronto 1904-1914. He also contributed to the field of ornithology by providing material to the book "Catalogue of Canadian Mines" edited by John and James Macoun and produced by the Canada Department of Mines in 1909. Over one hundred of Rev C.J Young's observations were credited in this book. Rev Young died on May 10, 1936 in Landsdowne Ontario.

This name was continued until 1919, in spite of John Power's death in 1882. Around 1880 a younger son, Thomas R.P. Power (1859-1930) also joined the practice although the name of the firm was never changed to reflect this addition to the practice. Colin Drever (1887-1975), educated at Heriot Watt College in Edinburgh and emigrated to Canada in 1911, worked for Power & Son from 1912 to 1915 and again in 1818. He was taken in as a partner in 1919, at which time drawings in the Power Collection began to be signed Power Son & Drever. Powers retired in 1923 leaving Dever on his own until 1945 when he was joined by Harry P. Smith (1905-1983), a graduate of the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Architecture degree (1929).
