My grandfather, Jasper Newton Taylor, left his wife and daughter on a rented farm and went to the "goldfields". I've always wondered if there was a train, a stage coach, or what means they could have used to get to Red Oak. As my mother was only two, she didn't know either. Any ideas or facts would be appreciated.
