Tip" TAYLOR DIES

Wilbur Fl. Taylor died suddenly
last Sunday evening at 5 o'clock
in the hospital, Bluefields, West
Virginia.
He was nearing the end of his
seasons trip when stricken. The
illness was very sudden and unex-
pected. He passed away before his
wife could reach his bedside. The
funeral was held from his home in
Trenton yesterday afternoon.
Zip" as he was generally called,
was the dean of our statesmen. He
had been with the company for near
ly twenty years and his connections
in the coal mining territory had
made for him host of friends as
well as customers.
The funeral services were held at
his late home at 922 Carteret Ave,
Trenton at two thirty. Rev. John
MacNab pastor Of Third Presbyter-
ian Church conducted the service.
Interment was at the Ewing Church
Cemetery under the direction of
WINS & Taylor.
The body was forwarded from the
South Tuesday and Mrs. Taylor and
her brother, Fred Hoffman, who
went to Bluefelds with her re-
turned to Trenton the same day.
He had been stopping at the
Hotel Virginian and letters which
he wrote even as late as Friday gave
no hint of his illness. The first news
was wire to his wife that he was
seriously i'll. The wire telling of his
death came while she was Fastening
south.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Ella Taylor of Pennington, his
wife, and one daughter, Margaret.
Mr.. Taylor was affiliated with
Cyrus Lodge, No. 148, F. e. A. M,
