OBITUARY: John Thomas Taylor (newspaper not known)
..."John Thomas Taylor was born in Belton, Jackson, Missouri, May 10th, 1850, (*the year was probably 1851, and the town Belton was no doubt in error) and died March 18th, 1924, while visiting his daughter, Mrs. John Caley, at Florence, Marion County, Kansas.
...He was married February 7, 1870, to Mrs. Hannah Hoy at Santa Fe, Jackson, Missouri. To this union were born eight children, H. T. Taylor of Neal, Kansas, R. F. Taylor of Colorado, Texas, D. L. Taylor of Long Beach, California, W. B. Taylor of Eureka, Kansas, Mrs. J. M. Sexton of Wichita, Kansas, Mrs. J. H. Caley of Florence, Kansas, and Susie Hester Taylor who passed away before her father's calling. C. D. Hoy, a son of Mrs. Taylor by her first marriage, was also a member of the family. There are 20 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. All the children were present at the time of his death except D. L. Taylor of Long Beach, California, for whom it was impossible to come, and R. F. Taylor of Colorado, Texas, due to failure of delivery of a message, did not arrive until 24 hours after his father's death. The deceased has been a resident of Greenwood, Kansas, for 35 years, living near Eureka at the time of his death.
...Grandpa Taylor was a member of the Christian church and lived a consistent Christian life. He suffered greatly during his last illness but bore it with great patience. He realized the call had come but remained conscious to the last. During the time of passing he called his loved ones around his bedside and asked that they all recognize the fact that his going was God's will and that they be resigned. He said that he felt not at all unnerved or excited and as the end drew near he urged them to talk that he might pass hearing their voices, although his sight was so dimmed that he could not see them any longer. We mourn his going, but not as we would for one who had no hope in eternal life, for we know that when our time comes to go we shall meet him in the great beyond.
Resigned that God should have His way,
He closed his eyes in peaceful sleep.
Free from the suffering of this life
His going was a sweet relief."
