Grace Minerva (Vernon) Taylor was the daughter of Joseph Thomas Vernon(1807-1878) and his wife Catharine Pickering (1810-1860). She was a gracious hostess and when she had the threshers, her table actually swayed in the center from all the food. She was a great conversationalist and had a vivacious personality in contrast to her reserved husband. She married John Holmes Taylor on 12 March 1862 in Fairfiled County, Ohio. She then went to Illinois with her new husband and a three year old orphaned child to the wilderness to live in a log cabin. The child Catherine "Kit" Beals was the daughter of her half-sister, Amanda (Woods) Beals and had been orphaned when her mother died at her birth and her father couldn't raise her alone. What a way to start a marriage! But Grace always calmly went with the flow of life.
Grace and John had five children of their own; Orlando Greer, b.1863; Edwin Vernon, b.1865; Edith Jane, b. 1869; Edson Holmes, b.1874; and Catherine Eugenia (Jeane), b. 1881.
She was widowed in 1918 and left the farm to live in Robinson with her daughter Edith Jane Alexander where she died 3 Feb 1922. She, her husband, and children are buried on the TAYLOR family plot on the west side of the main circle in the Robinson New Cemetery.
