Joseph Tayler, a descendant of a very ancient English family, came from Gosport, England, in 1830, landing in New York and settling in St. Lawrence county, that state, coming to Neenah, Wisconsin, in 1852 and to Green Bay two years afterward.

He engaged in general merchandising much of his life and established a store in Green Bay upon his arrival in 1854. He was postmaster of Fort Howard for twenty years and also served several years as city treasurer of Fort Howard. His wife, Melissa V. Kennan was a descendant of William Brewster, who came to America on the Mayflower.

Representatives of Joseph and Melissa V. Kennan Tayler's family have figured prominently in most of the American wars. An ancestor of theirs fought in the Revolution and one served in the Federal army during the Civil war. Their names are entered in the Blue Books of the various states.
Joseph died in 1898 in the eighty-fifth year of his age. His wife survived him until 1902, dying when she was eighty-five years old and they are both buried in the Fort Howard cemetery.
