He was grad- uated from the Syracuse High School in June, 1891, and the same month accepted a reportorial position on the Courier, which he filled during one year. He then held a similar post on the Evening News about a year, and in April, 1893, returned to the staff of the Courier, where he has since remained, becoming city editor when the new management assumed charge in Feb., 1894.
Taylor, Judson J., M.D., Syracuse, was born in Mexico, N. Y., July 23, 1838, and educated in Mexico Academy. At the age of sixteen he commenced teaching dis- trict schools with a view of getting means to study medicine. Teachers' salaries being higher in Ohio at that time than here, he went to the southern part of that State, where he taught about three years. His experience savored strongly of the ' Hoosier Schoolmaster." When nineteen years of age he began the study of medi- cine at Haverhill, O., afterward attending the Ohio Medical College in Cincinnati, and the medical department of Harvard University in Boston, and was graduated from the old Castleton Medical College, Vermont, in 1861, with the last class sent out from that institution. The same year he began practice in Parish, N. Y., where he remained one year, when he moved to Salem, Ind., and practiced there until Aug., 1864, when he became acting assistant surgeon in the army. While residing at Salem, the rebel Gen. John Morgan, with an army of 3,900 mounted infantry and cavalry made his famous raid through there, burning the railroad depot and levying $1,000 each on all valuable blocks and factories, under penalty of burning them, sacking all stores and shops, stripping the country three miles wide of all horses of any value The rebels took two horses from Dr. Taylor, all he had, the loss of which was keenly felt. He served as acting assistant surgeon at Louisville in Clay Hospital, Branch A, Holston Hospital at Knoxville, Tenn., where, in addi- tion to his duties in the hospital, he had charge of 600 men of the 10th Mich. Cav., doing duty near there, and when Holston Hospital was abandoned, he, with the other surgeons, was transferred to Asylum Hospital. While on duty there he was taken sick, and as soon as sufficiently convalescent to be moved, he was ordered to Louisville, where after a few weeks, as he did not recover so as to be able to resume his duties, he was discharged. Returning to Parish, N. Y., his health being such that he was unable to practice medicine, he opened a drug store, which he supervised for two years, at the end of which time his health being improved he resumed medi- cal practice, and secured competent help to manage the drug business, and since has always retained an interest in one or more such concerns, at present having an in- terest in one here, and one in Denver, Col. He served as supervisor of Parish two terms, 1876 and 1877. In 1878 he moved to Syracuse, where he has since resided, devoting his attention to medical practice when his health would permit. On account of ill health he spent one summer at Manitou Springs, Col., also one summer at Denver, and about six months traveling in California and New Mexico. He was a member of the Washington County, Indiana, and Oswego County (N. Y.) Medical

He afterwards received a Medal of Honor, presented by the president in the name of Congress, for gallantry in action at the battle of Chancellorsville.

Deciding to resume the work of the ministry he was appointed pastor of a church in Sedalia, Mo., where his wife died. That year the University of Missouri conferred upon him the degree of D.D. He was then asked to go to Italy. He accepted the call, and in 1871 was appointed by Bishop Ames "Missionary and superintendent of the missionary work of the Methodist Episcopal church in Italy." Before departing, however, he married Emily F. Barker of New York city.

E. church of Syracuse, which he held until Jan., 1893, when he was elected dean of the College of Fine Arts of Syracuse University, a position he has since filled with rare ability and distinction.
