Tomorrow at Bezanson's Auction there is a framed print, with a likeness of Christ, hugging a stone cross. It is a memorial to a man named George Taylor, died in January 1881 aged 48 years. Plus his wife Didamia Taylor, died March 13, 1909 aged 78 . She is in the vitals as Deademia Taylor, and says she died at Millville. Both are buried at Morristown Cemetery, and it says George W. Taylor died 25 January 1882. On the stone she is listed as Diadamia. The print would probably be of interest to anyone connected to that family.
