Mrs. Lucy J. M. Taylor was the widow of J. Knox Taylor. She was the daughter of Llewellyn Miller and Mary Fahnestock Van Arsdale.

She was born in Baltimore, Md and had lived in Plainfield, High Bridge, and Sante Fe, New Mexico. She had lived in Middlesex Nursing Home for three years.

During World War I, she played an active part in the American Red Cross and was an original member of the League of Women Voters in Hunterdon County. She was also a member of the original board of the State Sanitorium at Glen Gardner. She had traveled extensively.

Mrs. Taylor held land in Hunterdon County a long time after the steel plant was sold. It was only several years before she died that she sold Springside Farm in East High Bridge. She maintained Springside Cottage there for her own use but had not occupied it in three years.

Mrs. Taylor operated "Camp Taylor," a camp for children near Lake Solitude many years ago. The camp site was operated later for a number of years by the YMCA.

She died in the Middlesex Nursing Home, Metuchen at the age of 86. Interment was in Riverside Cemetery, Clinton.

She was survived by one son, Robert A. Taylor of Layton, Utah; a daughter, Miss Mary Taylor of Plainfield; a sister, Mrs. Alice Wolffe (Stanton G.) Smith of Brunswick, Me.; and two grandchildren.

Her obituary was published in the Hunterdon County Democrat on February 27, 1958, page 10.
