"Joseph H. Tayler is president of The McCartney National Bank of this city and by virtue of his position as well as by his many splendid qualities, has become a prominent citizen of Green Bay. The office which he holds is a responsible one. It calls for broad intelligence, keen knowledge of men and a discriminating sense of financial values. Mr. Tayler is a native of this city, his birth having occurred here, February 7, 1859. He is a son of Joseph and Melissa V. (Kennan) Tayler.

Joseph H. Tayler attended the public schools of Green Bay but left them at the early age of thirteen years to accept a position as clerk in the Fort Howard postoffice. He remained in this connection for eleven years and on his resignation held the office of assistant postmaster.

He began his career as a banker in 1882 when he took the position of cashier in the McCartney Exchange Bank, an institution which afterward became The McCartney National Bank, of which he is now president. The name was changed to the title which it now bears in 1892. Besides this connection with The McCartney National Bank he is also president of the Farmers & Traders Bank of Wrightstown and vice president of the New Franken State Bank. He holds the position of secretary of the Green Bay Water Company. He is prominently identified with almost every phase of public life in local affairs. He has been mayor and city treasurer of Fort Howard and also served as mayor of Green Bay. He is a member and chairman of the board of trustees of the First Baptist church of this city.

Mr. Tayler was married in Green Bay, June 27, 1889, to Miss Eleanor J. Richardson, a daughter of George and Susan Richardson, the former a pioneer resident of Fort Howard and its postmaster for a number of years. Joseph H. Tayler and his wife became the parents of two children : George R., who died in infancy, in 1892, and is buried in the Fort Howard cemetery; and Eleanor K., a student at the Green Bay high school. Mr. Tayler resides with his family at No. 300 South Broadway and his home is an attractive and hospitable meeting place for his many friends. He performs his duties in all his lines of activity faithfully and conscientiously, and is prominent and successful because his qualities of mind and heart merit prosperity and esteem."
