FRANK S. TAYLOR, postmaster of Leavenworth, Chelan county, (WA) was born in Indiana, March 20, 1853. His parents were both natives of New York, his grandfather, John having been a soldier in the War of 1812. His great-grandfather, on his father's side, was a Revolutionary patriot. Silas S. Taylor, his father, was for many years a leading physician. His father was a blacksmith by trade, but was also a devout and consistent Methodist Episcopalian clergyman. Silas S. Taylor died in Fayette county, Iowa, in February, 1866. His wife, the mother of our subject, Esther (Came) Taylor passed away in Iowa in 1870.
Our subject was educated in Indiana, attending the public schools until the age of thirteen years. He then removed to Iowa, where he lived until the age of twenty-eight, learning during this time the jeweler's trade. Failure of his health compelled him to seek outdoor employment, and for the nine years subsequent he followed railroad business. Again becoming identified with the jewelry trade, he opened a store at Glasgow, Montana, where he remained five years, going thence to Leavenworth, Chelan county, in 1893, where he now conducts a jewelry and watchmaking establishment. December 30, 1902, he was appointed postmaster.
Mr. Taylor has three brothers and one half-sister, Edward J., Charles L. and Arthur W., residents of Iowa, and Mary, wife of Byron McClure, of Michigan.
