The funeral took place at Pleasant Chapel, Tuesday, Aug. 17, at 10 o'clock a. m. being conducted by Rev. R. R. BRYAN, pastor of the M. E. church of Boonville. Internment at Maple Grove cemetery. The deceased was born in Anderson township, March 27, 1821, making him 76 years old. He worked on the farm with his father Lewis TAYLOR, until arriving at the age of maturity. On Dec. 1, 1844, he was married to Eleanor OSBORNE, of Spencer county. The result of this marriage was a family of nine children, of whom seven are living, viz: Dr. R. F. TAYLOR, of Nappa City, Cal.; Dr. O. J. TAYLOR, of Wichita, Kan.; Santa L. TAYLOR, of Evansville; Mrs. Minerva HEDGES, and Mrs. J. W. YOUNGBLOOD, of Warrick co.; Mrs. H. A. HAZEN, of Princeton, and Mrs. Wayne MONTGOMERY, of Eureka, Ind. The children were all in attendance at the funeral, except Dr. R. F. TAYLOR, of California. The deceased's business life was that of a stock farmer, by which he accumulated a considerable amount of property. Uncle Johnson, as he was familiarly called, was of a jovial nature. He was of a strictly moral character, of a very positive disposition and everyone who knew him would rely on what he said, being honorable and honest in all of his dealings with his fellowmen. the deceased leaves three brothers-- Robert, Peter, and Gurley TAYLOR, and one sister, wife of Dr. F. L. DAVIS, of Evansville. Perhaps there was no better known farmer in Warrick county than Johnson TAYLOR, and certainly he was one of the oldest citizens that was born and reared in Warrick county.
