He grew up in the Red Star community learning to farm and ranch from a very young age. The family started dairy farming in the mid 1950's and he was never far from Jay's side. He went to school at Liberty Center through eighth grade and then to Leedey High School for ninth grade where he met Judith Ann Ferrell. He would walk her to town everyday for noon hour to buy her a Cherry Forget Me Not. Judy fell in love with his smile and cowboy hat. He was baptized at the Church of Christ in Leeedey and they were then married there on May 19, 1959. Judy had just turned 16 and since he was still 15, she had to drive when they left the church. He made her pull over just outside of town so he could drive. They planned to go to Oklahoma City for their honeymoon and made it all the way to El Reno, afraid they would get lost if they went on to Oklahoma City. When they were first married, Judy would make two pecan pies every day, which never went to waste. They started out living with Jay and Evelyn, lived in the Bentley house near Red Star and milked cows with Jay before moving to Stinett, Texas where Larry was a ranch foreman at the age of 17. After a short time, they returned to Leeedey and lived in their home near Red Star.

As he got older he enjoyed watching his grandkids participate in rodeos and school activities, fishing, growing his garden, and drinking coffee with his friends at the Quick Stop. Over the past 30 years Larry and Judy have been both grandparents and mom and dad to several of their grandchildren, lovingly taking them to raise. After drinking coffee in the morning with friends, he liked to come home and make his special breadfast of fried eggs, bacon, toast, and a Dr. Pepper for Judy and any of the grandkids that were there. Larry spent nearly 20 years doing custom combining, every year starting in Frederick, Oklahoma and working their up to South Dakota and Wyoming. He operated Triple B Rodeo Company for five years, with Randy and Keith's help, and had livestock qualify for the National finals Rodeo. He enjoyed flanking the bucking livestock and he would dance to the rhythm of the bucking horses and bulls from behind the chutes. He also loved his cattle, farming and ranching.

It can trully be said that no class of men were braver, truer, or more tender hearted than the confederate soldier, and when the writer meets one 'tis with uncovered head. Brother Taylor was not an exception to the rule. He was honest, brave and true. The same was true of his life in his home. He was a loving father and a dutiful husband, he having been married in 1866 to Miss Annetta Saunders, to which union were born eight children, five of whom survive.

Coon, who lives near Redmoon, the bank caved in. The boys were caught by the dirt while the little girl in trying to get out was only caught by her feet. Her screams attracted the attention of Haston Seago and wife who were at the Coon home, ran to the child's assistance. By the time they reached the scene, the little girl had freed herself. She told Mr. Seago where the boys were entombed so he at once began digging, rescuing Ralp Coon first, who was still alive. He then set to work digging out the little Meadow boy. When he was found, he was standing up with his head down and his neck broken. The funeral services were held at the Cheyenne cemetery last Monday afternoon, Noivember 20, 1911, where the remains were interred. Rev. H.O. White conducted the funeral service.
