General Notes: Husband - William Henry Harrison Taylor


He was educated at the schools of the district, attending also Washington and Jefferson College several years, and on the old homestead was reared to the multiform duties of farm life. He remained on the farm until 1866, when he moved with his family into Washington, Pennsylvania, for the purpose of educating the children, where he opened a general fresh and salt meat business, including pork packing and stock buying, and formed a partnership with Robert Charlton. This continued until the latter's death, after which Mr. Taylor carried on the business alone till the time of his decease. A stanch Republican and a loyal American, he took a strong interest in all national matters, political or otherwise, but was no office seeker. During the war of the Rebellion he was a fearless, out-spoken Union man, frequently even to the extent of exciting the ire of some less loyal acquaintance. He was a consistent member of the M. E. Church, and one of the leaders in the congregation in building the new First M. E. church, at Washington, of which he was a trustee. He was a pronounced advocate of education, and gave his children every advantage pos-sible in that line, sending his sons to college and his daughters to seminaries, and held the office of school director at different times. He was, physically, a strong, vigorous man, but succumbed to diabetes, from which he was a sufferer for several years. Honest in his dealings, a despiser of shams of all kinds, and a hater of deceit and mendacity, he made and kept hosts of warm friends, who respected and honored him for his many virtues.
