Son of Jennie Grudy and Lorenzo Jedediah Taylor
Carl Ellison Taylor; Graduate of Wayne High School in Bicknell, Utah. Entered military service in October, 1942. Stationed in England as an engineer with the Eighth Air Corps. On March 8, 1945, Sgt. Carl E. Taylor became missing at sea; the fighter plane "Twin Tails" was fired upon by the Germans; Twin Tails suffered severe damage to the engines and punctured the fuel tanks. Lt. Binks (suspected it was really Lt. Daley) who was piloting the plane and flew at a lower altitude to evade fighters. The fuel tanks leaked and they had to call for Air-Sea-Rescue just short of Great Yarmouth. The rough seas broke up the aircraft and the pilot drowned. The navigator was rescued from a wing tip but died before reaching shore. Sgt Nugent and Sgt Hood (of Taylor's comrades) were rescued; but a search made over two days could not find the others.
