Mr. James W. Taylor, a retired farmer of Carroll County, died at his home near Hampstead, on Monday evening, May 4, 1914, after a lingering illness during which he suffered intensely, bearing his afflictions with an unusual degree of patience and fortitude. His age was seventy-four years, seven months and eleven days. Mr. Taylor was a member of the Burns Post of the G.A.R..
He joined the third Maryland Regiment, Company K. and had many thrilling experiences in the Civil War. He spent all three days in the Battle of Gettysburg, also fought in the battles of Chancellorsville, and the Wilderness.
Mr. Taylor served a term in the legislature, and took an active part in the work of the Emory church. He was for many years, a member of the Sunday School Board, and Class leader until he was obliged because of ill health, to retire from active service.

Howell Taylor, of Medford; Marshall Taylor, of Emory; Mrs. Rebecca Sellars, of Finksburg; Mrs. Laura Raver, of Emory; Mrs. Earnest LaMotte, of Hampstead; Mrs. William Bushey, of Woodensburg.
