LLOYD M. TAYLOR
Navajo Co.
History of Arizona, pg 501

Lloyd M. Taylor, manager of the Commercial Hotel in Holbrook, 
was a valuable acquisition to Holbrook for he has shown a 
constant and effective interest in the community welfare, 
which he has endeavored to promote in every possible way.  
He was born at Osage, Iowa, on the 20th day of Sept. 1901 
and is a son of T.E. and Nellie M. (Huie) Taylor, the former 
of whom is now retired from active business pursuits and he 
and his wife are living in Holbrook. Mr. Taylor attended the 
public schools of his native town and the high school at 
Independence, after which he entered Cornell College from 
which he was graduated in 1924.  In that same year he came 
to Arizona and for a couple of years was identified with 
the oil industry. In 1926 he turned his attention to the 
hotel business, becoming manager of the Commercial Hotel at 
Holbrook which he has run in a manner that has made it 
extremely popular with the traveling public and with 
those who seek an ideal summer climate.

On Jan. 6, 1926 Mr. Taylor was united in marriage to Edith 
T. Towrie, of Jamaica, Long Island, New York and they have 
a son, Richard Lloyd, now two years of age.  Mr. Taylor has 
taken a deep interest in this section of the country and is 
interested in its past history, being a successful collector 
of Indian and relics of which he has a  splendid collection.  
Fishing is his favorite outdoor sport and he is popular 
through the range of his acquaintance due to his genial 
and unassuming manner, his efforts to make his hotel a 
real home to all who patronize it and his many estimable 
personal qualities.
