Roanoke Leader
William Ellis Taylor, age 62, died at seven o'clock Sunday evening at his home 
in the Green's Chapel community after several years of bad health. Funeral 
services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at Green's Chapel church by his 
pastor, Rev. R. W. Bugg, and Rev. L. S. Wessinger, with Quattlebaum directing. 
Burial was in the church cemetery. He is survived by the widow, the former Miss 
Tula Ware; four sons: Jim Gus and Charles, of Rt. 3, Roanoke, Elbert, of 
Grenville, and Woodrow, Howard College student; four daughters: Mrs. D. C. 
Wallace, Miami, Fla., Mrs. Clifton Minter, Waverly, Mrs. Audrey Carr, 
Charlottesville, Va., and Miss Lucile Taylor. Atlanta; four sisters: Mrs. Ida 
Gross, Cullman, Mrs. Eva Price, Ellaville, Ga., Mrs. Carrie Johnson, Ft. Pierce, 
Fla., and Mrs. Emily Price, Tallassee; a brother, C. Z. Taylor, Tallassee. Ellis 
Taylor, as he was generally known, was one of Randolph Countys 'most valuable 
citizens. No one who knew him ever needed to inquire which side of a moral issue 
he was on. They knew that he would be on the right side and that he would sound 
no uncertain voice in support of this position. For thirty-five years he was 
superintendent of the Greens Chapel Methodist Sunday school and faithfully 
served his church in that capacity and in various other ways from sweeping the 
floor and kindling fires to official positions of honor and responsibility. His 
religious activities were not confined to his own church, but his broad and 
generous spirit led him to serve in any good cause. Not only will he be sorely 
missed by his immediate relatives and his home community.
