NATHANIEL TAYLOR.

Nathaniel Taylor, an aged and much
respected resident Of Roxbury, died
March lat, 1893. Mr.. Taylor WAS the
son OF Simeon and Mary Gale TAYLOR.
He was born at Belfast, Maine, July 10th,
1911, and was therefore nearly 81 years
old. His parents moved from Belfast 10
1915 to Plantation No. Z, now Roxbury,
aud there resided, with two years ex-
ception, until their death. The two
years were spent In Gilmanton, N. H.,
the home Of Mr. Taylor's immediate
ancestry. Nathaniel Taylor's mother
Mary Gale, Was sister to two promi-
neut New Hampshire men, Judge Daniel
Gale and the late Hon. Stephen Gale, OF
Lsconia, n. II.
The cause Of the family going TO Gil
msnton was fear that Indians, who were
making hostile incursions along the
border settlements Of Maine from Canals,
coming to Bethel and other places,
might come to this locality. In fact, IL
has been reported, and IL generally be-
lieved, that two did come into Roxbury,
attack Stephen B. Taylor Of Plantation
No. Z, who was at work In his field, but
found Mr.. Taylor, who was q very large
and resolute man, an overmatch for
them, and that their bones now lie
Wondering beneath the sod Of the
Milcha Taylor farm, In Roxbury, where
Uncle Burleigh buried them after killing
them. Possibly may not be correct rs
to its being stephen B maybe II was
his father, but so far As regards the size
or resoluteness of the men, my informa-
ton Is that no great difference existed
between the two.
Nathaniel Taylor married Sarah Jud-
kins. Their marriage occurred at the
home OF Benz. Edmunds In Mexico. snd
the ceremony was performed by Camp
Meeting" John Allen, who ut the time was
making more or less frequent pilgrim
ages through the new settlements OF this
part OF Oxford County. They were the
first couple he married. To them four
children were born. Two sons died
when 10 early msnhood's years. Ran
dali l.. Taylor, Que Of Mexico's most
active and prominent citizens. now liv-
Ing where his father and mother were
married, and Mrs. Elsie A. Robbins, who
has for many years lived with and cared
for her aged parents, are the surviving
children. Mrs. Taylor, the widow, Is
now nearly So years old.
Nathaniel Taylor was the last sur
vivor Of the thirty-seven voters present
at the first "town meeting" Of Roxbury.
Personally, the writer was well scquaint-
ed with "Uncle Nat and II space
would permit or occasion demanded IL,
would try to write q suitable eulogy-
but 1t IL = sufficient one TO say that he
was = kind husband and father, true
friend, an even-going, kindly man, re-
spected and esteemed by all. Never
brought suit In law, never had one
brought against him.
Two widows, nov living on the north
side OF Swift River, both quite advanced
10 years, are the only persons living who
can be regarded as links connecting the
primitive days Of the valley Of Swift
River with the present.
