ROMANCE OF AN OLD HOUSE.
Where Jefferson Davis Married the
Daughter OF Zachary Taylor.

A little franc house hat stand,
amid great beech trees in the rear Of
ian imposing structure Of recent dat
near Crescent hill and record OF
Jefferson comfy court are all that ls
left to tell of romance involving IA
nous names that was consummated
siXty-nine years ago.
1t is little known by Louisville peo-
PIE that in this house, which is now
used as servants quarters Jefferso,,
Davis, afterward president OF the Con
federacy, on June Il. 1885. married
Miss Knox Taylor, daughter of Gen.
Zachary Taylor. afterward conqueror
States.
In the Jefferson county courts
a, chives there is record of marriages
for 1885 which contains the following:
Jefferson Davis and Miss Knox
Taylor, of legal age. daughter of Zach
ary Taylor
It was romance with a sad Sc
|quel Davis took his bride to his plan
tation in Mississippi. The climate
was not favorable, and the young wo-
nan, accustomed to the purer air OF
Kentucky, could not stand the mias-
ratio exhalations of the swamps.
|Soon after her arrival in Mississippi
Ishe grew i'll, stricken with fever
Within three months Of the time she
became a bride she was dead.
The pathetic sequel makes Gen. Tay-
'lcr's objection to the wedding seem to
have been due to the prophetic feel
ings Of a devoted father. He strongly
idisapproved Of the match between his
daughter and Jefferson Davis, who
was then a soldier. with nothing to
indicate the great, though mournfu!
career that was before him.
This opposition was not due to dis
like or mistrust of Davis, it seems,
hut to Gen. Taylor's fear that as the
wife of a gallant soldier on what was
then the frontier. his daughter would
br subjected to many hardships.
But Miss Taylor was willing to face
any future for the man of her heart.
Mrs. Gibson Taylor, her aunt, es-
poused the cause of the young lovers
and when Miss Taylor came to visit
her she added her pleadings to those
c. her niece After long course of
persuasion Gen. Taylor, though not re
linquishing his objections, was prevail
cd upon to permit the marriage, which
took place in the home of Mrs. Gibson
Taylor. It is not known whether Gen.
Taylor attended the wedding. though
Hancock Taylor is Of the opinion that
he was not present.
It was from this house that the
Young soldier and his bride, after the
usual merry making, congratulations
and blessings, set out on a journey
with happiness that was so soon
&c be changed to grief.
Such is the story OF long ago that
centers around this little house, which
ucw stands to the rear of the resi-
ccnce occupied by A. Levy on the
Erownsboro road.
II the time jefferson Davis and
Miss Taylor were married within its
walls it was two-story structure, Wi h

prevailing style for southern homes.

Among the other cards found in the

general service department at the

coming to st. Louis from Minneapolis
last December. 1 was travelling at the
time with my sister, Reyenda, who is
telephone operator in the office of the
Northwestern Telephone company at
st. Paul.
MY sister and myself casually be-
came acquainted with Miss Teachout,
who told us that she was on her way
to Battle Greek to visit her sister, and
we exchanged cards. We lunched to-
gether at a stopping place on the road
and the conductor of the Pullman en-
tered into a Irritation with Miss Teach

reached Chicago we saw little of the
young woman, as she was with the

We'll change around from week to

VALUATION is HIGHER
Personal Property Assessment
Shows Increase Over 1908

The personal property assessment
valuation for 1904, announced yester-
day by County Assessor Patrick Con-
ley, shows an increase over last years
valuation of $1.5S7,614. The increase
is made up from new personal prop
erty found, and valuation of prop
erty which escaped assessment in for
mer years.
The realty valuation is not yet COM
pleted. Despite the fact that many
overtaxed lots have been reduced and
much property exempted from valua-
ton by reason of condemnation for use
of the Omaha, 500 and Rock Island
lines, a substantial increase will be
shown. Few individual assessments
have been raised.
