Mrs. J. E. Taylor
Frances, daughter of John and Rachael Turner Martin, was born February 9, 1851, at the Martin homestead near Perry Springs Station. On Wednesday evening, April 8, she entered peacefully into rest in her home in Versailles. She had reached the age of 85 years, one month and 29 days.
Her parents were among the earliest settlers of this county, and she was the youngest of eight children reared in this pioneer home.
On January 18, 1872, she was married to John E. Taylor, who preceded her in death last year. With the exception of a few months spent in Missouri, they lived in and near Versailles during the long married life of sixty-three years.
Their union was blessed with eight children, seven of whom are left to mourn, Mrs. Velma Rowland, Jacksonville, Mrs. Laura Glaze, of St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Lizzie Metz of Chambersburg, Frank Taylor of Springfield, Kent Taylor of Quincy, and Mrs. Bess Ham and Mrs. Blanche Thoroman of this place. A son, Otis, passed away in 1909.
Mrs. Taylor also leaves thirteen grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren besides many other relatives and friends.
She confessed her faith in God and became a member of the Methodist church in 1909 under the pastorate of the Rev. H. S. Alkire. As long as she was able she attended services faithfully, and was an active worker in the Ladies Aid.
For the past fifteen years Mrs. Taylor had been a semi-invalid, but she bore her afflictions patiently and bravely. Though confined to her home she continued to take an active interest in the life of the community. Both young and old enjoyed a visit in the hospital (sic)(hospitable?) home of "Aunt Fan" as she was affectionately known to many. They were sure of finding a warm welcome and to come away with a lightened heart after being in her sweet cheerful presence.
Funeral services were held at three o'clock Friday afternoon in the M. E. church with the Rev. J. M. Beadles officiating, assisted by the Rev. H. E. Stuller. Two hymns, "Rock of Ages" and "Only a Dream" were sung by Mrs. Carlos Casteen, Mrs. C. H. Burgesser, F. R. Vandeventer and G. S. Thornberry. Mrs. Roy Wilson sang a solo, "Mother." Flowers were in care of Mrs. W. M. Bradbury, Mrs. Charles Gaut, Mrs. Zella Myers and Miss Ruth Vandeventer. Pall bearers were W. G. Tarrant, Sam Lindsey, Frank Lindsey, J. V. Root, Fred R. Vandeventer, and Henry Wilson. Burial was in the West cemetery.
