Death of Col. W. W. Taylor, builder o
the Westminster Water Works.

For Inc DeUeOcritlc A0NOC7tte.
We regret TO announce the death, on Fri
day, November 81, at his old home, Kennett
Square. Pa, of Col. Vim. w. Taylor. He
had been i'll for several months. His burial
took place on the Monday following.
Col. Taylor was a gentleman well-known
to the citizens of Westminster and Of our
county. He was one of the original contract
ors of the Western Maryland Railroad, an
enterprise that has contributed largely TO the
growth of our city and county. His last work
among us was the building of the plant that
supplies Westminster with water. Both of
these enterprises brought Colonel Taylor fire.
quently in contact with our people, by whom
he was favorably regarded and by many of
whom his death will be deeply regretted.
Col. Taylor was born at Kennett Square, Pa.
and at the time of his death was about seventy
years of age. The family consisted, beside
the parents, of four sons and two daughters.
Bayard Taylor, the celebrated writer, was the
brother who with him in the ''forties' saw
the continent of Europe on foot and who on
their return published an account of their
wanderings in the still well-known volumes OF
Views Afoot' The writer of this notice
recalls with pleasure Colonel Taylor's fire.
quent vivid descriptions of their experiences
during this period of his checkered career. In
this connection it NAV not be amiss to remark
the fondness for and the pride he had in his
distinguished brother. On one occasion the
stanza
They lay along the batteries side,
Among the smoking canTon,
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde
And from the banks of Shannon"
was quoted in the Colonel's presence. That
poem, with his expressive eyes frightening
with pride, he promptly remarked, has come
to live forever" 1t was from "The Song of
the Camp of which his brother was the
author, and will live while poetry is admired.
Beside the Westminster Water Works Col.
Taylor built twenty-five others, among them
the plants at Havre de Grace and Chester
town, in this state; Bristol, Tennessee, and
Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The Colonel, how
ever, always regarded our home plant as his
best work. His desire had been to retain it
as legacy for his wife, but new enterprises,
of which he always had two or three on hand
at the same time, required such an amount OF
money that to meet these demands he was
compelled to part with it.
The Coloners parents were Quakers. OF
both of them he often spoke with commend
able pride, especially of his mother. She
died some years ago; his father recently.
Erred" Taylor, his youngest brother, was
Colonel of ''the Bucktails'' and fell while
leading his regiment in charge in front OF
the Round Tops, at Gettysburg, on July 2,
1868. Another brother, a physician, still
survives him.
The Colonel was married twice. By his
first marriage he had one child, son. who
died several years ago. His second wife,
still living, was resident of Philadelphia.
