            OBITUARY
   DIED--Perrine E. Taylor, son of J. E.
and Laura Taylor, Oct. 21, 1910, at the
home of W. A. Taylor Yates Center, Kansas,
aged 18 years, 4 months, and 9 days.
   The bright young life of Perrine E.
Taylor was closed late Friday morning.
While he had been very low for several
days, his friends hardly expected that
the end was so near. He came here with
his parents when he was about 5 years 
of age and remained here until February
1910, when he went to Beamont, Texas,
with his mother. Shortly after arriving
there he was taken with malaria and 
suffered with that disease for several
months and it left him in such a 
weakened condition that he returned
here in July in hopes to regain his
former health, but he gradually grew
weaker until his death. His mother
returned from Texas and was constantly
at his bedside until his death. Every
thing in the way of medical aid was
furnished but only temporary relief
was obtained.
   Perrine grew to manhood in this city
and was beloved by all who knew him.
   He was a young man of fine character,
excellent habits and of bright intellect
and had he lived would have made a 
success in life. He had a lovable disposition,
was always pleasant and kind and during
his last sickness his pleasant smile to
all inquiring friends will long be remembered.
He was educated in the schools of Yates
Center and was always popular with the
young peope of his class.
   Funeral services were held at the home
of W. A. Taylor on Sunday, October 23, 1910,
and the remains taken to Toronto, Kansas,
for burial. A large number of people 
accompanied the remains to Toronto. The
devoted mother and relatives have the
sympathy of the entire community.
         -------------
   We wish to express our heartfelt thanks
for the kindness shown us by our friends
in Toronto in the hour of our bereavement.
              Mrs. Laura E. Taylor,
              W. P. Taylor and family,
              W. A. Taylor and Family,
              R. L. Maxson and Family,
              Mrs. M. M. Buck.

            In Memoriam
   (Died, of poison, on the night of August 
19th, 1901 Prince Taylor, aged two years,
eight months and twenty-two days. He weighed
182 pounds and was the best dog that ever
chased a cat or took part in a canine mix-up
on the street. He had some of the frailties
peculiar too his race, but he held the edge
on some of the human race in that he was
always true to his best friends. And he  is
sincerely mourned for by his boy companion,
little Perrine Taylor.
He was an honest mastiff dog
   And wore a yellow coat.
He loved to chase the stray town hog
   And eke the billy goat.

He was a good dog in a scrap
   And scars of battle wore,
But like a decent, modest chap
   His honors meek he bore.

If dogs perchance, have any souls,
   And for them future bliss,
Maybe in happiness he rolls
   In a world more kind than this.

Where he for aye will laugh his grace,
   O'er bones and things to eat,
Where million cats there are to chase
  down the long Dog-street.

Where he will need to wear no tag
   For fear of marshal's gun,
But unafraid his tail can wag
   Through ages of dog-fun.
