General Notes: Husband - John Richard Taylor

---

He resided on the homestead farm in South Strabane Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, which he and his sister, Mrs. Craft, owned.

He attended the Gray schoolhouse near his father's farm before he was old enough to become a pupil in the Washington schools. Later he spent three years at Trinity Hall, also attended the State Normal School at California and subsequently Washington and Jefferson College, after which he returned to agricultural pursuits, settling on the home farm. He proved the competence of a college bred farmer, as he produced bigger crops from his land than any of his predecessors. His father put up all the buildings and these Mr. Taylor kept in complete repair and also gave some attention to his six oil and gas wells on the place. In addition to his farm interests, Mr. Taylor was a stockholder in the Union Trust Company of Washington. He was also largely concerned as a contractor for the building of highways and completed, to the satisfaction of the taxpayers, three miles of the West Middletown road.
