final REUNION
At TAYLOR HOME
CHILDREN OF MR.. AND MRS
JOHN n. TAYLOR GATHER
AT BLOOMFIELD.

Bloomfield-At the old homestead on
East Franklin street, Sunday, April 20,
Mrs. Virginia Taylor Wilder served a
splendid four course dinner at twelve
o'clock to the children and their fam
lilies of the late Mr.. and Mrs. John II.
Taylor, as final reunion in the home.
In the old fashioned fire place, in the
room where the tables were spread, the
faithful old and irons supported a
cheerful wood fire, giving hint of
Kentucky hospitality and of the homes
in the south, where Mr.. and Mrs. Tay-
Tor were born and spent so many
years. 1t was a pleasant occasion, yet
intermingled with a strain of sadness
as the thought Of the vacant chairs
would steal in.
The home, the only one known TO
Mr.. and Mrs Taylor, after they moved
to Bloomfield from the Whitlow farm
in 1870, is beautifully located and
stands out prominently today as the
birthplace of some of Bloomfield's most
respected and influential citizens, and
the passing of the place into other
hands will cause a pang of regret, not
only to the family but to the people in
general.
To each of the following children,
Mrs. Wilder presented, as mementos
of the the day two beautiful little
folders containing the photographs OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John II. IaylOr, the par
ents and Mr.. and Mrs. John Elias Tay-
lar, paternal grandparents: Theodore
John H., Jr., Lee, Bloomfield Ia, and

tie, August 1919.
In letter to B. Murphy of Vinton,
where Warden Sanders lived. G. Fl.
Plattenburg, who delivered the Easter
address at the institution says: "All
Vlnton should give three cheers and a
tiger for Warden Sanders of the Fort
Madison prison. Sanders Is Vinton
boy who is certainly making good.
He has received letters from wardens
all over the land and even from for,
e1gn countries wanting to know more
Of his methods.
HE conducts the only prison lecture
course In the world and this course
Is paid for by the prisoners them
selves. 1t was my great pleasure TO
address the boys at Fort Madison last
Sunday and never had more appre
ciative audience. The program furnish.
ed by the prisoners at the morning
service was par-eXcellent. They have
a splendid orchestra and a glee club
that equals the most Of our colleges
Our friend, Frank Novak, played n
the orchestra and was also member
of the brass quartet. A night school
gives all chance to learn to read and
write. The prisoners have base and
basketball clubs. Warden Sanders is
looked upon as a father by these un
fortunates and every hour he is doing
something to build up their self-re
spect and manhood. Since JsR. 1,
have lectured in ten states aIR visited
on Sunday many churches ~ various
creeds, but nowhere have l found
more evidence Of applied ChristianitJ
than at Fort Madison. Several report
ers have gone to Fort Madison e
write up Sanders and expose his
crazy methods, but without exception
they have gone away singing hi;
praises. Vinton ought to be proud ot
big, jolly, tender hearted, manly San
ders, for know of no yinton boy who
is doing greater work"
