TAYLOR. In the death of Capt. Chas. A. Taylor, which occured at Americus on last Monday morning, this county (while not living in the county at the time of his death) looses one of its oldest and most influential citizens. Mr. Taylor was in his seventieth year, and had spent the greater portion of his life on his farm near LaCrosse. Two years ago, his dwelling was burned and he removed with his family to Americus. He served in the Civil War all through until he was badly wounded near the close. As one of his comrades has justly said of him, "He was a brave soldier, a faithful officer and a perfect gentleman." His body was brought to Ellaville on the early train, accompanied by a number of friends and relatives, and the funeral services being conducted at the Baptist church by Rev. R.F. Williamson, assisted by Rev. W.K. Dennis, after which his body was conveyed to the cemetery where the last sad rites were engaged in, witnessed by many friends and old comrades.
