Pioneer Passes Away.

"Joseph n. Taylor is dead"
These words greeted the citizens
upon arising Thursday morning.
Heart failure was the cause Of his
death and his demise was sudden
and unexpected. He had been
around his printing Office We'd
nesday and Wednesday evening
and nothing unusual was noticed
and no complaints were offered by
Mr.. Taylor. Thursday morning
he was found dead in his rooms
adjoining his printing office and it
is probable that he had died early
the evening before-passing away
without pain or struggle-his life
ending as he lived, in peace and
quiet. Everybody knew Mr.. Tay-
lor-he was the oldest land mark
in these parts, his residence here
dating back to 1864. He was
highly respected and knew no
enemy or foe-every man, every
woman and every child in the
community knew him and respect
ed him. His life was quiet and
unassuminp. He had inherited
that characteristic peculiar to the
early frontiersman and loved quiet,
nature and animal life.
His early life here was spent
principally in trapping and hunt
ing, his later years were devoted to
preserving and protecting wild
animal life, of which in former
years he had been a destroyer. He
was conscientious in this direction
and everybody admired him for it.
He was honest, his faults were
few and no one suffered through
them. When in reminiscent
moods he was highly interesting
and his friends have enjoyed
many an interesting narrative from
him Of events and happenings
hereabouts in the early COS and
7O's when few white men frequent
ed these parts.
Joe Taylor's life work is now
at an end and the world is better
for him having lived in it.
Short funeral services were held
in the Methodist church Thursday
afternoon and the remains were
sent to his old home in Pennsyl-
vania on the afternoon train. A
detailed account of Mr.. Taylor's
life will be given in next weeks
issue.
