"Elder Thornton Taylor, whose critical illness we noticed last week, died on Wednesday morning last (March 1st) at about the hour our notice of his illness was written. He had attained the advanced age of about 87 years. He was a man of fine native sense, and a preacher of acknowledged ability. During the war he was a strong Union man, on account of which sentiment he made many friends… After the war he entered politics, and was several times a candidate for the Legislature. He conducted aggressive, fearless campaigns, tho he was never elected. Elder Taylor died where he had lived for many years- near the base of the old Blue Ridge, some distance east of Marksville." ~ Page Courier, Thursday 9 Mar 1899 (front page)
