General Notes: Husband - Charles Leslie Taggart

Canton Twp, Washington Co, PA

He grew to man's estate on the old home farm. He received his education in the district schools and at Buffalo Academy in Hopewell Township. After leaving school he gave his attention to the management of his farm of 265 acres. He raised Aberdeen Angus cattle and the American Delaine sheep, keeping about 250 head of the latter. In 1907, at the Chicago International Live Stock Exposition, a show that was open to the entire world, he was awarded the grand champion prize for the best dressed steer carcass exhibited, although he had many skilled competitors. The steer was 16 months old and netted him $338. In 1909 he won a number of premiums at the same exposition and produced the highest priced yearling steer carcass, and the heaviest yearling steer carcass in the show.
