MRS. J. W. TAYLOR DIES AT WALTHILL - BURIED HERE

All the was mortal of Mrs. Mary A. Taylor was brought here from Walthill Wednesday and laid by the side of her soldier husband in the Blair cemetery.

Mrs. Taylor was born at Dayton Ohio in 1845, and with her husband came to Blair when this place was in its infancy. She lived here for many years and reared a family of five children, all of whom called this place home. They are Mrs. Rose, Mrs. A. J. Caldwell and Mrs. J. W. Brink, all of Walthill; Charles of Winnebago and Noah of Hammil, So. Dak. She united with the Christian church in Blair many years ago, and lived in that faith until her death, which occurred at Walthill where she made her home with her children. Her husband, who died at Walthill 22 years ago, was a soldier in the Civil War and the G.A.R. Post in that place still bears his name.

Burial was made from the train Wednesday at one o’clock p.m. Besides her children, Mrs. Taylor leaves one sister, Mrs. W. M. Epperly of Blair, all of whom will mourn her death.
