TAYLOR JOHN W. (Deceased). Died at his home in Clay Co., Kas., Nov. 29, 1877, aged 79 years. The fact that this good and noble man was one of the earli- est settlers of Jo Daviess Co., and was for many years a leading citizen and a mem- ber of the Board of Supervisors, renders his biography one of peculiar interest to our readers. John W. Taylor was born in Luzerne Co., Pa., in June, 1798. In 1819, when 21 years old, he started West, going to W. Va., then to Ohio and Ind. In the Spring of 1824 he settled in Sangamon Co., Ill., where he became acquainted with Miss Temperance Stringfield, and married her in March, 1825. In 1827 hc moved to Galena, settling first at Pilot Knob, but living afterwards in that part of the city now known as Oldtown. In 1829 he moved to Guilford, six miles from Galena, where he resided until 1870, when he re- moved to Kas. Mr. Taylor was the first Supervisor ever elected from the Town of Guilford, and was eight times re-elected, filling the office till he refused to hold it longer. His wife died April 10, 1849, after which he went to Cal., where he remained two years, returning to his home and family in Guilford in 1852. His sons, Henry H. and John R. Taylor, having settled in Kas., Mr. Taylor followed them therc in 1870, where he remained till the time of his death. The remains were brought to this Co. for interment, accom- panied by his son, Henry H. Taylor, and his daughter, Mrs. S. K. Troxell. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place from the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. S. W. Hathaway, in the Town of Guil- ford, on Wednesday, Dec. 5, Rev. James Baume, of Galena, preaching the funeral sermon. This is but a hasty sketch of the life of one of the noblest and best of the early pioneers of Jo Daviess Co. John W. Taylor was a good man in the very best sense of that term. He lost no oppor- tunity to visit and minister to the comforts of the sick and afflicted, and to aid the destitute. Although he never attended a medical college, he was skilled in medi- cine and surgery, having read much on thesc subjects to the end that he might relieve the distress of his fellow beings at times when a physician could not be procured. In several cases he reduced the fracturc of bones with such skill that the patients speedily recovered, some of whom are now living, with sound limbs. For all thesc deeds of kindness he invari-
ably refused to receive the slightest recom- pense. Notwithstanding his well known liberality he amassed a fortune, and was enabled to leave each of his six children a good farm. He finished his work and it was well done. A comparatively young man remarked in our presence on the day that the remains arrived in Galena, " If I had done as much good as John W. Tay- lor has done, I think I should be willing to die." Mr. Taylor left three sons: Oba- diah Taylor, of Guilford; John R. Taylor, formerly Co. Commissioner of Clay Co., Kas., now a resident of Fla., and Henry H. Taylor, formerly Co. Treasurer of Clay Co., Kas., and now president of a bank at Clay Centre. Also three daughters: Mrs. S. W. Hathaway, of Guilford; Mrs. S. K. Troxell, of Kas., and Mrs. C. Shaw, of Cal.
