Death of John E. Taylor
Funeral services were held at the family home at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon for John E. Taylor, aged 86, whose death occurred Saturday afternoon. Mr. Taylor had been in failing health for several weeks, but had been confined to his bed little more that a week.
The officiating minister was the Rev. J. M. Beadles, Mrs. J. C. Casteen and Mrs. Charles Burgesser sang "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Rock of Ages", accompanied by Mrs. Sam Lindsey. Pallbearers were A. A. Thoroman, James Ham, Ed Price of St. Joseph, Mo., and Frank, Wilbur and Homer Rowland of Jacksonville. The many lovely flowers were in charge of Mrs. Margaret Wendling of Chambersburg, Mrs. Ed Price and Mrs. Frances Shockley of St. Joseph, and Mrs. Frank Rowland. Burial was in the West cemetery.
John E. Taylor was born in Brown county, near Ripley, on the fourth of April, 1849, and passed away at his home in Versailles, June 29, 1935, having reached the age of eighty-six years, two months and twenty-five days.
He was the last surviving child of John and Elizabeth Taylor, pioneer settlers of the county.
When he was five years old, he went with his parents to Knox county, Mo., where he lived until sixteen years of age. He then returned to Brown county and persued? his chosen occupation of farming on a farm near Perry Springs station.
Here he met the girl who became his wife, Miss Frances Martin, to whom he was married January 18, 1872, and who has been his loving companion through sixty-three happy years of wedded life.
They were the parents of eight children, seven of whom are left with their mother to mourn his death, namely: Mrs. Velma Rowland of Jacksonville, Mrs. Lizzie Metz of Chambersburg, Mrs. Laura Glaze of St. Joseph, Mo., Frank Taylor of Springfield, Kent Taylor of Quincy, and Mrs. Bessie Ham and Mrs. Blanche Thoroman of this place. A son, Otis Taylor, died April 26, 1909.
He also leaves 13 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and a number of relatives and friends.
After retiring from the farm, Mr. Taylor continued to lead an active and industrious life. His love for the soil was expressed in his splendid garden, in which he delighted to toil daily.
Although aware of falling strength, this spring he planted his garden as usual, but as he grew weaker from day to day, finally was forced to give up his beloved work. The flourishing plants are a living monument to his industry and ambition, unusual in one of his age.
Mr. Taylor will be missed as a kind and loving husband and father, a friendly neighbor and a jovial host to many friends who loved to visit in his hospitable home.
Relatives and friends coming from a distance for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson, Mrs. Frank Johnson and daughter, Alice Marie, and Mrs. Joseph Maserang of Granite City; Mr. and Mrs. Homer Rowland, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rowland, Wilbur Rowland, Mrs. Maude Busey and Mrs. M.
