FRANK TAYLOR BURIED SATURDAY

The funeral of Frank Taylor, 77, Northwest and Grays Harbor county pioneer and former Grays Harbor county treasurer, was held from the Whiteside chapel here at 11 o'clock Saturday morning. Rev. W. R. Caldwell, a friend of many years' standing, officiated. Burial took place Saturday afternoon in Seattle.

The pall bearers were W. H. France, C. N. Wilson, Eldridge Wheeler, F. L. Nethery, James A Arland and Ora L. Watson.

Mr. Taylor was a native of the Willamette Valley, where he was born April 14, 1856. He had spent his entire life in the Pacific Northwest. He came to Grays Harbor in 1890 from Dayton, where he had been in the furniture business. He had continued to live here ever since, except for a few years spent in Snohomish about 1906. He was the son of Thomas J. and Almira Stout Taylor, early Oregon pioneers.

It was February 19, 1884, that Mr. Taylor was married at Albany, Ore., to Miss Amanda M. Thompson, daughter of Mercer and Sarah Thompson, early Willamette Valley pioneers. They had been planning to observe their golden anniversary next month.

He entered the county treasurer's off ice here in the 1890's and was connected with that office most of the time since until a few years ago. In 1904 he was elected treasure and he also served again in that capacity being appointed in 1926 upon the death of Miss Ethel Baker to fill out her unexpired term.

Mr. Taylor died in his sleep early Thursday morning and was found dead by Mrs. Taylor when she went to call him.

Surviving him are his wife, Mrs. Amanda M. Taylor, here and three brothers, Homer B. Taylor, Thomas C. Taylor and Maynard L. Taylor, all of Seattle and three sisters, Mrs. H. J. Gadley, San Luis Obispo, Cal., Mrs. J. M. Ferguson, Wanatchee, and Mrs. J. R. Wray, Seattle.
