 The death of Mrs. Taylor removes one ation of Montgomery's citizens with the present generation. She was the daugh- ter of MT. Hardy Herbert, who settled in MontEomery more than seventy-five lished educator, being a graduate of the South Carolina College at Columbia. He assisted MT. E. D .Washburn in open ing the. Milton Academy" in the old November 24. 1928. which was the first high school attempted in Montgomery.
 In the latter part of March, 1929. Mir. Herbert bought a half interest in The Alabama Journal and became associated with Mir. Mosely Baker as editor and proprietor of that paper. which associa- tion existed until 1881. MT. Baker was a remarkable man. He was gifted as & and public speaker. He had committed The Journal to the support of Andrew Jackson. in 1927. as the choice of the people of Alabama for President, but when the nulllHCdLIOn 6TA CdtHt IL dL once espoused the States Rights cause. It was during the management and con- trol of Messrs. Baker and Herbert that The Journal became involved in a con- troversy with The State Gazette, which was established in 1880. and ranged itself squarely on the side of Jackson against nullification. The controversy grew so bitter that one of the editors of The Gazette, q young school teacher named Patterson. severed his connection with the paper and left the city.

 Mir Albert E. Herbert. who was for several years Register of the Land Office in Montgomery. was the twin brother O. Mrs. Taylor. He was one of the best known. most accomplished. and most popular young men of his day. MT. Thornton Talliaferro Herbert was a brother of hers and is the only one of the generation now living. two sisters Rebecca and Edna. and a brothci, Will liam, having died. All these children were born in the house in which Mrs; Taylor was born. 1t may be mentioned Ticknor. who in December. 1885, enlisted the company in this city which perished in the massacre of Colonel Fannin's command in Texas. March, lS36 married the sister of Mrs. Hardy Herbert and came to Montgomery about the same time MT Herbert came. Mrs. Ticknor. at the time of her marriage to Captain Tieknor, was Mrs. Lamar.
