Carlton H. Toylor, whose sudden
death we chrOnicled last week, was one
of the older citizens of Bradford, al
though for many years he had lived in
New York. He was born in Hartland
Il this State in June, 1928, and re-
moved to Bradford with his fathers
family in 1886. Alvan Taylor, Esq,
the father, bought the farm now owned
by the Thomas johnson heirs, Sept. S,
1896 of Aaron Rowell, and lived there
a number of years. In 1S41 and 1912
he represented Bradford in the YER
mont legislature as a Wing. About
that time or perhaps little 'later Carl
ton Il. was clerk in q store in the
building now1occupied by A. II. Clarke
as drug store, and run by Danforth
& Morton, the latter being the Vice
President under Harrison. In those
days Mr.. Taylor was a very stylish
young man in his dress and appear
ance. Later he is said to have met
with some disappointment that made
him the misanthrope he proved to be
in his latter years. Those who knew
him best say that he was man of
fine feeling but moody to a disagreed
BILE degree On one occasion he ex,
pressed himself as follows:
so God that man could see a little clearer;
Or Judge less harshly when he cannot see;
O God that men would draw a little nearer
To one another; then they would be nearer Thee"
