Rainstown - Died. George W. Taylor, in Everett, Wash., January 10, 1900, George, son of Abner and Edna Taylor, was born in Kansas, Dec. 28, 1859, but came to Hendricks county when a small child and lived here until he was nineteen. During a revival held in Lizton by Rev. J. P. Patch, Mr. Taylor united with the M. E. church after which he immediately left for the west and although he made no further confession of religion it was well known by those nearest and dearest that the hope of immortality never left him and they feel assured that in his hours of pain and illness he turned to God for pardon, help and comfort and that he is safe at Home awaiting them. Mr. Taylor was married April 6th, 1887, to Miss Cora A. Fowler, daughter of Stephen and Sarah Fowler, of Rainstown, and to them were born four children, two girls aged ten and twelve and two boys, five and seven. He was employed on the railroad and was on duty when he received the wound, which, after twenty-three days of suffering, caused his death. He was a member of the K. O. T. M. and B. of R. T. Both lodges showed him every kindness and attention during his illness, as did also the Great Northern Railway officials by whom he was employed. The Trainmen’s lodge in Indianapolis received and took charge of the remains, bringing them to the home of his father-in-law. Rev. Dunlavy and Mr. Burgess conducted the services at the house. The burial was in the family lot in the Veiley cemetery, south of Lizton. The sad but beautiful burial rites of the Trainmen’s lodge were held at the grave.
