JAMES TAYLOR.
a Well-known Bushes. Man, Answers
The Last Summons.

With the newspapers telling Of
deaths of men throughout the world
by thousands every day, we. have be-
come so callous-minded that we pay
little attention to the ravages of the
Grim Monster, until he invades our
home or our circle of friends and ac-
quaintances, and then we but family
realize what is taking place.
However, death at anytime is sad
to contemplate and so it was in the
case of Mr. James Taylor, who died
on Tuesday of last week at the st.
Paul hospital after short illness.
The deceased was born in Licking
ton, KY, So years ago.
= He came to St. Paul about thirty
years ago and worked as a Pullman
porter. He worked hard and saved
his money and few years ago he
bought an interest in the Acme club,
a social organization located at 1O7 r.
Third street, of which he was presi-
dent at the time of his death.
On November Is the deceased went
to the st. Paul hospital to be operated
upon for some internal troubles. The
operation was successful, but compli-
cations set in and he died Tuesday,
Dec. 5, fully conscious to the end.
After the operation he realized that
he would not live long and one day
when his barber, Mr.. s.. w. Williams,
went to the hospital to shave him he
told Williams that he had no hope of
recovery and that he wished him to
take charge Of his remains and his

worldly effects and arrange for his
funeral. He stated that he wished to
have his funeral preached at Memorial
Baptist church by the pastor Rev. E.
H. Mcdonald.
Just the day before his death he
had a will drawn by Lawyer Doty be-
queathing his earthly possessions
equally to his two younger brothers,
Ky" Taylor, residing at Cincinnati,
Ohio, and Edward Taylor, residing at
Indianapolis, Ind. Mr.. Ky" Taylor,
one of the brothers, was present at
the funeral, but the other brother, Ed
ward, was sick and could not come.
The deceased was bachelor and
resided at % E. Third street. He was
staunch Republican from principle
and was a true raceman. He was
president of the Fourth Ward Republi-
can club.
He had accumulated an estate con:
sisting of cash in the State Savings
Bank amounting to $1,O93.0O, an in
surance policy Of $4,000, an interest
in the Acme Club and considerable
jewelry and personal property, the
value of which is not definitely known.
The deceased was a charter men,
Der of Gopher Lodge No. los, I. B. P.
@. E. W., and under it's auspices his
funeral was held at Memorial Baptist
church Friday of last week at $3.50
p. m. There was quite large audi
ence present, including the members
of Gopher and Acme lodges. The
ritualistic service of the Elks was con-
Quoted by Exalted Ruler George w.
Stewart, who also, as requested by
the deceased, made few obituary re-
marks. Thanatopsis was recited by
w. r. Morris, Past Exalted Ruler of
Ames Lodge.
A splendid sermon was preached by
Rev. 3. H. Mcdonald, who had been
with the deceased in his last hours.
Music was furnished by the choir of
the church. There were numerous
floral tributes.
The funeral was directed by Lyles,
interment at Oakland.
The pallbearers were: Messrs. w.
A. Yeiser, Walter Root, L. E. Turpin,
Edward Gray, James Hyde and w. N.
