As we mentioned last week, the silent messenger has again visited our little village and taken therefrom Mrs. Margaret Taylor, the beloved wife of Reuben Taylor. She had only been sick for a few days, but that dread disease pneumonia, had taken such a firm grasp upon her that all efforts to loosen it proved unavailing. Mrs. Taylor a true and noble woman, modest and retiring but keenly alive to all duties which go to make a home pleasant and friends happy. She was born in Pennsylvania in the year 1826, and married to Reuben Taylor in 1846. After almost three score years, "The one was taken and the other left," but alas, for only a few brief days, when again the messenger called on Saturday morning of the same week and took the husband. Reuben Taylor was born in 1823 in Virginia and has lived the greater part of his life at Olivett. He adhered firmly to what he believed to be right and resolutely preformed that which he thought to be his duty, and all can truthfully say a good man has gone. They were the parents of seven children, George, Lafe, Edwin, Mrs. Ella Lee, and Mrs. Leona VanFossen, the last named caring for them in their last sickness. Two of our old friends and neighbors have gone and we can but express the sentiment of the poet and say: "After life's fitful fever they can sleep well." These two have journeyed together almost three score years and in death they are still united. Like unto children tired of play, to lay aside playthings to sleep, so they being weary of life laid down their burden of many years and fell asleep to awaken to a glorious immortality in an eternal home. Interment in Barnesville.

NOTES:

Margaret (Rowley) Taylor was the daughter of George Rowley (1795-1866) and Easter or Esther Morgan (1795-1852) of Belmont County, Ohio. Margaret was likely born in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Margaret’s brother was Stewart Rowley, see Find A Grave Memorial# 132502126. In the death certicates of Stewart's sons, Emmet B. Rowley and George Willis Rowley, their father’s birthplace was listed as Washington County, Pennsylvania. So it is very likely that both Stewart and Margaret were both born in Washington County, Pennsylvania. George Rowley is found in the 1830 Federal Census of Peters Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Then, for the next census, George Rowley can be found in the 1840 Federal Census of Guernsey County, Ohio. Therefore, it follows that Margaret and her siblings, Samuel Rowley, Stewart Rowley and Nancy (Rowley) Dillon Busby were all likely to have been born in Washington County, Pennsylvania before the family moved to Londonderry Township in Guernsey County, Ohio between 1830 and 1840.

All of Reuben and Margaret (Rowley) Taylor’s children have known burial locations with the exception of their son, George William Taylor (b. 13 Jul 1847 in Kirkwood Township, Belmont County, Ohio). On 25 Feb 1869 George married Antonia Elizabeth McNabb in Goshen Township, Belmont County. The couple had two children: James Franklin Taylor and Frances “Fannie” (Taylor) Kincheloe. Between 1872 or 1873, George’s wife Antonia passed away. At sometime between the death of his wife in 1872/1873, he moved to Missouri. By 9 Oct 1879 George remarried to Samantha Alexander in Laclede County, Missouri. Two sons were born to George and Samantha: Hugh Clarence Taylor and Charles Huston “Charley” Taylor. It is not known what year George died. However, it is known that the youngest son, Charley was born in 1887; it’s also known that Samantha (Alexander) Taylor remarried in 1894. So, we can assume that George William Taylor’s death occurred between 1887 and 1894 in Laclede County, Missouri. Without a known date of death and burial location there is no memorial on Find A Grave for him. You may visit the memorials for George’s children, click the below links:
