Hi Caroline, Here's one I know about from my wife's family. John K. Taylor: source Evelyn Roxie Taylor, an older cousin. She is the only dau of Simon Luther Taylor and Nina May Lockard. Evelyn is the gt.granddaughter of John K. Taylor of Coaldale, Mary Jane McFarland 1853-1896, John Weest (of Altoona, buried at Oak Ridge, lower Weest plot), and Mary Elizabeth Ritchey Johnson (buried at Coaldale). *** Miner John K. Taylor was born Mar 22, 1852 in Scotland. He "died quite young" in a mine accident ("cave-in") on Jan 24, 1881 and is buried at Duvall. John K. Taylor's parents were: John Taylor Sr. and Agnes Taylor of Coaldale. Both were born in Scotland and they were buried at Duvall. John Taylor Sr was a coal miner operator. John K. Taylor is related to Alexander Taylor of Scotland and Coaldale. Alex's wife was Martha J. Long and they were also buried at Duvall. I don't know any details of what mine John K. Taylor died in or where the mine was located. Paul Beauregard Researched: Taylor, McFarland, Sleighter, Ritchey, Weest of Altoona, Hoeffler, Swartz, and Fluck.
