General Notes: Husband - Hon. J. P. Taylor


The first seventeen years of his life passed by amid the usual incidents connected with farming experiences, and his education was secured in the schools of his native locality. On leaving the old farm he went to Corsica, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and engaged in the lumber business with his father; and in 1862 he accompanied the latter to the new home near Brookville, where he followed farming, in connection with lumbering, about eight years. From 1870 to 1877 he was engaged in mercantile business in Brockwayville, Pennsylvania, his stock including drugs and general merchandise. In 1877 he located at DuBois, and resumed the lumber business, to which he added real estate and, for a time, an insurance business. He came to have extensive real-estate interests in both Du Bois and Falls Creek.
Mr. Taylor was a stanch Democrat he became a leading factor in party management and in local affairs. In 1879 he was elected justice of the peace, but resigned in 1882 when he entered the legislature. He served during one session, and on his retirement was appointed postmaster at Du Bois, a position which he filled for more than four years.
Mr. Taylor was identified with various movements and societies, being a leading member of the Heptasophs and of the Acorn Club.
