MRS. C. H. TAYLOR BURIED TODAY After a Quiet Service Her Remains Taken to Pittsburg The funeral of Mrs. Charles H. Taylor, wife of the pastor of the First Methodist Church, is tomorrow at Pittsburg from the home of Mrs. Samson, a sister, and the body will be placed in a mausoleum until Dr. Taylor arrives from France where he is in war Y. M. C. A. service. The final tribute by the friends here was yesterday evening at the Allen & Allen undertaking parlors when Rev. Flynn of M. E. Church offered a prayer and Mrs. Lyman Fulk sang "Beulah Land," which had been a request of Mrs. Taylor when she realized that the end was fast approaching and a few hours before her death. At 6:30 the remains were taken to the Illinois Central station and thence to Indianapolis and Pittsburg to arrive there about noon today. Dr. Wylie and the sister, Mrs. E. P. Samson, accompanied the body, Mrs. Samson having arrived here late Saturday after the death. Dr. Wylie was sent as the representative of the First M. E. Church. Human life brings few occasions so pathetic-the devoted husband hundreds of miles away upon a patriotic duty in France and the two children at the home of Dr. Myers, not knowing of the sad event transpiring for it is doubtful if the husband had yet received the news. All afternoon friends called and viewed the remains and about were silent floral tributes. Among the tokens were a wreath from the S. A. E. fraternity of which Dr. Taylor is a member; a bouquet from the Phi Pi to which Mrs. Taylor belonged; carnations from the Masons; roses from the Methodist Church; white carnations from the W. C. T. U.; a wreath from Dr. William Wylie and quite a number of offerings from friends. The sad news of Mrs. Taylor's fate was sent by a cable signed by Dr. Myers at once after the death and embraced the simple words: "Mrs. Taylor dead; pneumonia, come." The message was directed to the Paris address of the doctor and to where Dr. Myers had addressed a letter Thursday night. The day before her death Mrs. Taylor realized her condition and asked for her two children to tell them farewell and also gave some personal directions to Mrs. W. H. Adams. The parents of Mrs. Taylor live near Boston and are now at Pittsburg for the funeral. Mrs. Taylor was a member of the W. C. T. U. and also of the Phi Pi fraternity as she had been taking special work in the University. A touching incident was about a week ago when Mrs. Taylor called the Chamber of Commerce with a box of candy to send to Dr. Taylor in Paris, and she laughingly remarked, "I know it's good for I made it all myself," and then she gave the ladies in the room a sample that she had brought them. The plan is to hold a memorial service in honor of Mrs. Taylor in the M. E. Church here as soon as the ban is lifted and when Dr. Taylor arrives.
