Arnett Taylor's ashes were scattered on the Gulf of Mexico and his name was engraved on the same stone with his wife Sarah, whose ashes were buried here in the family plot.
Clark Arnett Taylor, who went by Arnett, was born at Versailles, Kentucky, the eldest child of Edmund Haynes Taylor II and Ann Mary Arnett. His parents resided at Atlanta, but returned to the family homeplace at Kentucky for Arnett's birth.
Arnett's parents left Atlanta in 1907 for Tampa, Florida where he grew up. He first met his wife Sarah in the 4th grade and they had their first date in 1915. Their fathers had been business associates in the insurance industry, and the two families had become close friends over the years. Arnett enlisted in the Florida National Guard in 1916, served on the Mexican border during the expedition against Pancho Villa, and was mobilized for WWI for service in France as an airplane mechanic. After the war, Arnett worked as an auto mechanic, and married Sarah in 1921.
Arnett and Sarah took up a veteran's homestead near the town of Orsino on that part of Merritt Island that is now the Kennedy Space Center. They spent four years trying to start a citrus farm, but were unable to sustain it and returned to Tampa in 1925 where Arnett returned to work as a mechanic while he learned the citrus business from Sarah's brother-in-law Guy Nickerson. In 1928, Arnett was made manager of a citrus grove near Sebring, launching his career with the Citrus Growers Association as a grove superintendent, inspector, and agricultural advisor. After Sebring, Arnett worked out of Winter Haven and Eustis, before retiring in 1956 to Bradenton, where he died in 1972.
