Bloomfield, Nov. 30.-Mrs. John H.
Taylor is Davis county's oldest set

In 1889, when Davis county was a
small portion Of Indian Territory,
which had not then been admitted to
Iowa, but was later added to the state.
Mr.. Whillow purchased the land now
owned by John H. Taylor, buying It
from the government at $1.25 per acre.
Mr.. Taylor having gone to California in
1849 when the gold fever lured men
westward, returned in 1852 and pur-
chased the farm from Mr.. Whillow
Through the business transaction call
ing Mr.. Taylor to the whillow farm
he became acquainted with the farm
ers daughter, who became his wife,
and with whom he has lived for "a
years. The farm is now occupied by
thier son, Lee Mrs. Taylor's earliest
recollections are Of the Indians, who
frequently visited their home, but were
always friendly and honorable in their
dealings She remembers hearing their
mournful wall when a band Of 500
passed their home going further west
to new hunting grounds The first
sacred services in the county were held
