The El Dorado Times, July 25, 1933
Chas. W. Taliaferro Died on July 17 

Charles W. Taliaferro, a pioneer of Glencoe Township, died at his home in 
Tulsa, Okla. On July17 after months of illness from heart trouble and 
complications. He was a member of the First Baptist church of Tulsa. The 
funeral was held July 19, conducted by his pastor, Dr. Storer, followed by 
interment in Memorial Park.

His daughter, Miss ora Taliaferro, writes to friends under date of July 24, as 
follows:  “No doubt you have heard of father’s passing just one week ago today. 
He had been in failing health for some time, but not bedfast until the past two 
months and even then he would have intervals when he would feel strong enough 
to come to the table for breakfast, which was about the only meal he ever ate, 
and could walk from one room to another. He did not suffer a great deal up to 
the last few weeks, seemed just tired and was perfectly easy to lie down and 
sleep for hours during the day and most of the time slept through the night 
without waking. This is the greatest consolation we have, as we knew from the 
first there was no help for him and all we could do was to keep him 
comfortable. His trouble was a complication of diseases due to his age, but the 
fatal aliment was a weakening of the valves of the heart.”

Charles W. Taliaferro was born in Cooper county, Mo., January 8, 1853, where he 
grew to manhood. He taught school several years in Cooper County. He was 
married to Frances Olivia Young February 27, 1876 and came to Kansas in 1880. 
They located on a farm in Glencoe Township, Butler County, where they resided 
except seven years spent in Kansas City, until November 1928, when they moved 
to Tulsa, which has since been their home.

To them were born six children, three of whom are living: Walter W. of San 
Angelo, Texas; Harry of Severy, Kan., and Nora of Tulsa. These with their 
widowed mother survive. In addition one brother John Taliaferro of Hancock, 
Texas; one sister, Mrs. Virginia Averill, Huntington Park, Calif., are left. 
Mr. Taliaferro was the eldest of a family of eight, these surviving being the 
youngest. There are also eight grandchildren.

Charley Taliaferro was a kind considerate man revered by his neighbors, 
prominent in church affairs and in his community. Glencoe Township suffered a 
great loss when he left it. He was one of the best known men in Southeast 
Butler and a host of friends will be grieved to learn of his passing.
