JAMES P. TAYLOR, 12 Sep 1847 - 08 Aug 1904

Last Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock at the home of Foster 
Jadwin and wife occurred the funeral services of James Taylor, who 
died in Bronson, on the preceding Monday.  Mr. Taylor had been in 
failing health for a long time.  Consumption had nearly finished 
its fatal work, when he calmly placed his hand in the hand of death 
and forced the "death angel" to do the work quickly, which nature 
seemed, to his sick, tired, disheartened mind, too slow in 
accomplishing.  With his own hand he launched his frail bark upon 
the river of death.  The Heavenly Father only knows the intensity 
of suffering that would cause so intelligent, generous and proud a 
man, and until disease laid its palsying grasp upon him, so 
energetic a business man as Mr. Taylor to do so sad a thing.  The 
Father, who knows, will judge justly.  We who have not passed 
through the fierce fires of suffering and disappointments can only 
remain in silence and sadness.  Many of us remember Mr. Taylor as a 
bright happy schoolmate of by-gone days, first in his classes, 
first in frolic and fun.  The tenderest of sympathy is extended to 
the aged mother, the brothers and sisters who remain.  Mr. Taylor 
was about 57 years of age.  Burial in Greenlawn cemetery beside his 
wife and child.
