James Taylor, who died suddenly in New York city last Thursday, was buried here Sunday afternoon. Funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church by Rev. Mastin, of that church, and Rev. Mower of the U. B. church. The Masonic lodges of Seward and Milford had charge of the funeral.
A special train brought a large number of friends of the deceased from Omaha, where he had been employed in the Burlington offices for a number of years before making his home in New York city.
James G. Taylor was born at Schuylerville, New York June 26, 1851, and moved with his parents to North Adams, Mass. when he was about eleven years old, and he was then educated in the public schools.
He came to Nebraska in June 1870, and soon after entered the employ of the Burlington railroad, at Plattsmouth, as bookkeeper, and afterwards went to the general offices of the railroad company at Omaha, where he held for many years the responsible and trusted position of auditor and assistant treasurer, which position he resigned in June 1903, just thirty-three years from the date he entered the employ of the company. He went, soon after the resignation of his offices with the Burlington, to New York city, where he remained in business until his death, which occurred on Jan. 23 in that city.
His mother died in Seward on December 16, 1894 and was buried in Greenwood cemetery, this city.
He leaves surviving him James G. Taylor, his father, Seward; Mrs. Mary Foyer, Providence, R.I., Mrs. Jessie Alexander, Milford, Nebr., sisters; and Victor Taylor, a brother, Bakersfield, Calif.
