Death of Homer B. Taylor
Yesterday morning Homer B. TAYLOR was found dead in his bed in his livery stable. Very often when horses were out late at night Homer would stay at the stable to see that they were properly cared for when they came in. Some time during the latter part of the night he complained of a severe pain in the region of the heart, but as he soon fell asleep again, the man who occupied an adjoining bed thought nothing serious of it. About eight o'clock one of the men went to call Homer, when he found him cold in death. Dr. WILCOX was called and it was his judgment that Homer had been dead for several hours. The probabilities are that he died at the time he complained of feeling the severe pains. An inquest was held, and the jury returned a verdict that he had died from heart disease.
Homer B. Taylor was in his forty-second year, and for the greater portion of his life he had lived in this city. When a boy he worked at the printing business, and when the war broke out he enlisted in the Forty-first Illinois Infantry and served his country faithfully. After the war he was engaged in the mercantile business with his brothers. A few years ago he went into the livery business and was making money. He was married to the only daughter of Dr. C. GOODBRAKE and leaves his wife and one son living.
The funeral services took place this afternoon from the residence of his father, Mr. Henry TAYLOR. Homer was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and by his old comrades he was buried with military honors. His widow and son and his afflicted parents and relatives have the sympathy of all in their sudden bereavement.
