Carrollton Democrat---May 2, 1885
Died: At his home in Carroll County, Ky., April 20, 1885, Mr. Uriah M. Taylor, in the 84th year of his age. He was born December 1st, 1800, in Garrard county, Ky. In 1823 he married Miss Elizabeth Ann Wharton, near Lancaster, who survives, in her 80th year a lonely mariner on the river of time, only waiting a little longer to be called to join the happy throng beyond the tide. They had walked and fought life's battles together for over 62 years. Father Taylor was one of a family of twelve children, six sons and six daughters, four of whom are still living -- three sisters and one brother, one of them older than himself. His posterity at his death numbered 80 as follows: 9 children, 51 grand children and 20 great grand children, of the whole number 56 are living and 24 dead; those living: Children 9 grand children 39 and great grand children 12; dead children four, grandchildren 12 and great grandchildren 8 . In 1836 he removed with his family from Garrard county, Ky. to a place near Canaan in Jefferson County, Ind. When that was a frontier settlement and the writer has often heard him speak of trading with the Indians on the spot where the little town of Canaan now stands. In 1830 he moved his family to Trimble county, Ky and in a few years purchased a farm in Carroll county, and moved on it in 1838, where he was living at the time of his death and on which he now lies buried near the dwelling, in a beautiful spot selected by himself years ago, 400 feet above the Ohio river on top of one of those rugged Kentucky hills that he loved so well. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence in his day, a leader in the M. E. Church. Although born and educated in the midst of slavery he believed it to be wrong and opposed the institution from early youth, being a strong Union man during the late rebellion. He was one of the first to engage in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables for the Madison, Ind. Market and many of the older citizens can remember the large luscious peaches and fine melons he used to sell.
