John H. Taylor
John H. Taylor. - With the demise of John Henry Taylor on the 30th of August, 1902, there was lost to the city of Joplin one of her finest and truest citizens. It means much to a city to number among its inhabitants men of the type of Mr. Taylor, in whom the pure fire of philanthropy and public-spirit burns so serenely; who, if need be, are found. Mr. Taylor was an important factor in several fields; in banking affairs; in the development of the natural resources of Jasper county in the capacity of organizer and officer of important mining and smelting companies, in which his executive ability, tireless energy and genius in the broad combination and concentration of applicable forces came into play; in legislation, in which he showed superior qualities of statesmanship; as a gifted attorney and as a just and progressive public official. It may truly be said that there was nothing of public import in Joplin during his long residence here in which he was not helpfully interested and he was an exponent of the progressive spirit and strong initiative ability which caused the city to forge forward so rapidly.
PARENTAL BACKGROUND
The usual student of biography confesses to an eager desire to trace the ancestral forces that are united in every son and daughter of unusual force and ability. No fine soul appears suddenly; the foothills slope upward and mental and moral capital are treasures invested for us by our forefathers. John Henry TAYLOR was born at Leesburg, Virginia, January 26, 1837, the son of William and Mary (Ross) Taylor. The father was a native of London, England, and was educated in one of the institutions carried on by the Church of England. When a young man of twenty-one he hazarded new fortunes and crossed the sea to a country of whose independence and superior resources he had heard so much. He located in the Old Dominion and there married, his bride being a daughter of that romantic state. In 1833 he removed to Ohio and a few years later came to Missouri. He was a prominent educator and in 1858 was elected school commissioner of Jackson county. His death occurred in 1862 and his wife passed away in 1877, while residing at Independence, Missouri. They were members of the Baptist church and their many good gifts of mind and heart won for them the unqualified confidence and affection of all with whom they came in contact. William Taylor was one of the first members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
JOHN HENRY
John Henry Taylor received his early education in a school conducted by his father and afterward continued his studies in an academy. With his parents he removed to Hannibal, Missouri, in 1844, and subsequently to Paris, where he attended school and also clerked in a store. He had also an experience as a printer in the office of the Paris Mercury, which those who know declare is in itself equal to a liberal education. In 1851 the family removed to Independence, Missouri, where he further pursued his studies and gained credit for himself and benefit for his constituents in several offices, among them those of deputy circuit clerk and ex-officio recorder of Jackson county, Missouri, under General Lucas. He was drawn to the legal profession and took up the study of law under the direction of the firm of Christman & Comingo, and in September, 1857, was admitted to practice. In 1858 he was elected city attorney of Independence and his success in the capacity of chief municipal officer was manifestly recognized by several reelections. In 1860 he received an appointment to the office of county school commissioner.
In the early 1860's Mr. Taylor was in Shreveport, Louisiana, and about the time of the close of the Civil war he returned to Independence, Missouri, where he successfully resumed the practice of the law. In December, 1871, he effected the organization of the first company formed at Joplin to develop the mineral resources of southeastern Missouri, the same being known as the Joplin Mining & Smelting Company, of which he held the three-fold office of treasurer, secretary and manager. Subsequently he became the president, acting in that capacity until the charter of the company expired. In 1872 he organized the East Joplin City Mining Company, of which he was president, and in 1874 he was instrumental in organizing the North Joplin Mining & Smelting Company. About this time the Joplin Savings Bank, the first bank of the city, was founded and he also became its chief executive officer. In 1894 he organized the Taylor Land & Mining Company, of which he was president, while his son, Wilkins Taylor, was the secretary. The enterprises with which Mr. Taylor was associated met with success, for he was one of the men who have big ideas and are capable of making them realities.
In 1875 Mr. Taylor was elected delegate to the constitutional convention which framed the present constitution of Missouri. He represented the sixteenth senatorial district, then comprising the counties of Jasper, Barton, Vernon, Dade and Cedar, and labored earnestly for the measures which he believed would prove of the greatest good to the majority of the citizens. He ever took a deep interest in political affairs and while living in Carthage, Missouri, was a member of the city council, but resigned upon coming to Joplin. In 1898 he was appointed by the governor one of the commissioners to the Omaha Exposition.
In religious faith the subject was Presbyterian, his affiliation with the church dating from 1855. He was active in its campaign for righteousness and was long one of its elders. His widow also belongs to this church. He was also actively interested in and for six years was president of the Young Men's Christian Association of Joplin and was highly esteemed by the members of the organization, who recognized in him an ideal citizen. Upon the attainment of his majority he joined his father's fraternity, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, at Independence, Missouri, and he held many of its offices up to district deputy grand master. He was also a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. At one time he served as grand secretary of the Temperance Union of Missouri and his sympathies were all with the unfortunate and downtrodden. His charities and philanthropies were many, among the larger of these being his donation of the ground for the Children's Home in Joplin, Missouri
Mr. Taylor formed an ideally happy life companionship when, on April 7, 1874, he was united in marriage to Miss Lulie Smith, daughter of Harley T. and Mary Wood (Mitchell) Smith . She was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but it was in Independence, Missouri, that her marriage was celebrated. Mrs. Taylor is the scion of two of the distinguished families of the South, the Mitchells and Dents of Virginia. Her great- grandparents became acquainted at the residence of General George Washington, while visiting at Mount Vernon, Colonel James Mitchell being an officer under Washington, while Miss Dent was a cousin of Mrs. Washington. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor,John Henry, Jr., Mary,Grace, but only three survive. Belle was married December 3, 1906, to Mr. Austin Allen, one of Joplin's leading architects. Morgan is a promising young attorney of the city, having been graduated from the law department of the State University of Missouri in 1911, and he is the president of the Taylor Land and Mining Company. Wilkins is secretary of the Taylor Land and Mining Company. Mrs. Taylor shares in the philanthropical ambitions of her late husband and the wealth at her command could not be in better, more generous and charitable hands. This admirable lady enjoys the general respect and esteem of the city and is prominent socially, her many graces and abilities fitting her for social leadership, while her charming, cultured home is the center of a most gracious hospitality. She is a member of the Daughter of the American Revolution.
