I spoke of Bill and Eliouse Taylor. Bill died around a year ago. Probably around 70 at that time. They lived on the old family farm place about 6 miles south of Avery and he started and operated the Taylor Monument Co on US 82 in Avery. Their daughter Janie and her husband Don (Hall ?) operated the business now. I remember Bill's dad living in Avery. I thing the farm was Eliouse"s family farm. I recall Bill saying he first worked in Lubbock in the monument business before coming to Avery. We once lived in camping trailer in the Taylor's yard for about a week or more when we were between houses in Avery about 1974. Maybe Bill and his dad are not originally from Red River Co. Got to get ready to work today now.
