Booneville Democrat, Logan Co., AR, 1924

P. M. Taylor Dead 

Logan County lost another good citizen and neighbor last Tuesday when the spirit 
of Pleasant M. Taylor, yielded to the ravages of pneumonia, and left its earthly housing 
to take a permanent abode in the land of the blessed. 
Mr. Taylor was eighty-four years old, and had lived in the neighborhood of 
Booneville for many years; lately making his home partly with his son, George Taylor of 
Booneville, Mrs Hub Mechler, a daughter, and another son who resided in the country. 
It was in the country that he was stricken and here he died. 
Mr. Taylor was a prominent farmer until his health and advancing years forced 
his retirement, and he had at all times proven himself a worthy citizen and good 
neighbor and a true friend, content to play a minor part in the eternal fitness of 
things, feeling that a good citizen was the greatest of all God's creatures, and he at 
all times lived up to his duties in this respect As a monument to prosterity he has 
left a splendid family, all upright, honest citizens, trained in the school of 
righteousness that he lived and believed in, and an honor to the grand old man that gave 
them to the world. 
The remains were laid to rest in the little country graveyard amid sorrowing 
relatives and friends, Thursday afternoon. We join them in extending to those so sorely 
bereaved the heartfelt sympathy of a true friend.

Died 4-9-1924 Logan County, Arkansas 
Married Rachel Maria Jane Tyson 1860 Newton County, Arkansas]
