WILLIAM TAYLOR.


Now Sleeps In The City of The bead
| Jonrneyed Far to See His Son.
| Was Disappointed
| After a long and useful life oi
50 years and a months, William
Taylor, who recently arrived in
Benton county after a long jour
ney from Kansas, died at the
residence of Samuel Dixon. one
mile east of Philomath, March
9th. The funeral services were
held in the M. E. church at
Philonath, Tuesday afternoon,
at one o'clock, Rev. Ware Off
ciating, assisted by Bishop Cas-
tie.
Mr.. Taylor was born in Can
ada, November 9, 1919, and
when child, moved with his
parents to Ohio, where he grew
to manhood. He married
Miss Catherine e. Douglas, in
Franklin county. Of that state,
May 9, 1843. Eleven children
were born to them, eight of whom,
with the mother, have preceded
Mr.. Taylor to the land of his
fathers. Three sons survive him:
u. A. and; E. S. Taylor, of
Goldendale, Wash, and Rev. 7.
M. Taylor, now of Philomath,
with whom the deceased made
the long journey from Kansas to
Oregon.
Mr.. Taylor remained in Ohio
until 1856, when, with his
family, he joined the throng then
seeking homes in the West, and
for ten wears made his home in
Illinois. In 1866, he returned
to Iowa, where he resided for ten
years, and again joined with his
family and friends who were
looking for homes in the unde.
veloped country of the West.
In 1876, he settled in Kansas,
where he resided until his last
move was made tor that state
nearest the sunset-Oregon.
For several years he had a
great desire to come West, and
see his two sons who have resid-
ed in Clickafat conntv. Wash.
for many years. "When 1 have
seen theln,'' said he, 81 am
ready to CO." When this aged
father, accompanied by his son,
Rev. ]. NJ. Taylor, and family,
arrived at Grants, On the line of
the 0. R. & N, they stopped off
and took teams and drove to the
"Block House" near the homes
of his sons, only to be informed
that they could not be permitted
the one burning desire OF the
fathers last days-to see his sons
they being quarantined with
smallpox at their homes. To be
deprived of this pleasure was
more than the aged father could
bear. This was the beginning
of the end. They returned to
the railroad and continued their
journey to this city, where they
arrived Tuesday, February 26th.
The following day they drove to
the home of theif friend, Mr..
Dixon, where Mr.. Taylor took
to his bed from a cold which he
had contracted cn his way to the
Coast, and from which he never
recovered.
Kind friends among whom he
had cast his lot rendered all pos
sible aid to the family in making
his last days pleasant.
Mrs. Taylor was consistent
member OF the M. E. church for
more than so years; a worker in
all kinds of church work; a good
citizen;a kind father. His re-
mains were followed to the east
ern slope of Mt. Union cemetery,
where all that was mortal was
deposited, and Bishop Castle con-
cluded the services, saying:
''Earth to earth, ashes to ashes
dust to dust.''
The little mound of new earth,
covered by flowers planted by
the hands of kind friends, marks
the last resting place of William
Taylor.

DR.. j. B. Kinnaird tells The Record
of battle he witnessed Monday while
on his road to see patient out on the
Buckeye pike. When near Old Anti
och meeting house, he saw a crow
jumping around near the fence, very
much excited. He stopped his horse,
got out and slipped down closely, to
investigate. A large black snake was
cOiled near the fence striking at the
crow when the latter came in reach.
while the crow was hopping all around
his snakeship pecking whenever and
wherever an opportunity presented. 1t
was a hot fight, and the doctor says
each studied when and where to hit
with much elaboration as does young
Corbett or JEFF. The snake soon tired
out by striking" at the crow, while
the latter was not much exerted, In
fact he "Outwinded" the snake, which
grew weaker until the crow made q
rush on him and pecked the serpent t.
death. How long they had been fight
ing isnot known, but DR.. Kinnairt
stood and watched until the snake wa,
put out OF business, possibly three
quarters of an hour. Being fully sat
isfied his foe was dead, the crow flew
away with an air of pride that would
have done Justice to a conquerinf
prize fighter. DR.. Kinnaird brought
the snake to town, doubtless to prove
his story.

A majority of the business men are

hood to come out and say so, but there
are some wha tare afraid they may lose
a few pennies by taking any part. The
Records advice is for every man, who
loves law and order, to come to the
front and help bring about a reform.
Keep smoking and you will finally
smoke out" those at the bottom of
the tiger business and other devilment
The tiger people are having the hard
est time they ever experienced. Keep
twisting the tail, and some one is 60
ing to squeal. We glory in the spunk
OF those gentlemen who have the man.
hood to take the lead in the fight, and
feel sorry for those who are afraid they
may lose possibly two cents worth of
trade by taking a stand. You boast of
your "pOllerticks," but where are you
when a movement for law and order
comes up? To hadeS with such rot.
Ii you are for tigers, come out and say
SO, If not, buckle on your armOr and
help weed out the gang who say the
