HENRY R. TAYLOR

Henry R. Taylor, a retired businessman, passed away Thursday, January 2, 
2015, at the age of 92, after an extended illness. Funeral services are 
scheduled for 3:00 PM. Sunday, January 4, 2015 at the First Baptist Church 
of Farmerville with Rev. Kurt Auger and Bro. Ronnie Parks officiating. 
Visitation will be held from 1:30 PM until 3:00 PM at the church. Interment 
will be in Rocky Branch Cemetery under the direction of Golden Funeral Home.

Mr. Taylor, born in Mangham, LA, grew up in Swartz, raised his family in 
Monroe, and retired to Farmerville on Lake D'Arbonne over 20 years ago. 
While healthy, he was an active member and deacon of First Baptist Church of 
Farmerville and had served as a deacon at two other churches in his earlier 
years. Mr. Taylor was a proud veteran of the USMC during World War II and 
served on the islands of Tarawa, Saipan, Tinian, and Okinawa with the 2nd 
Marine Division. He was a member of the occupied forces of Japan. Following 
the war, Mr. Taylor returned home to Swartz and enrolled at the then 
Northeast Louisiana Junior College where he met the love of his life, 
Juanita Burford Taylor, whom he married in August of 1947. Following 
completion of course requirements at junior college, they moved to Baton 
Rouge where he earned his electrical engineering degree from LSU. Spurning 
offers from some of the largest manufacturers of electrical components, the 
couple returned to the Monroe area to be close to their parents and began a 
family of their own. For many years he worked as a salesman for Murco, Inc. 
which he helped form in the early '50s. Mr. Taylor was a past member of the 
Monroe City School Board, an associate member of the National Electrical 
Contractors Association, and a current member of the VFW Post in 
Farmerville. When healthy, he was an avid fisherman and an active member of 
his church, whose congregation was very dear to him.

Mr. Taylor is preceded in death by his wife of over 55 years and his 
parents, Mack Henry Taylor and Gladys Byargeon Taylor.

He is survived by two sons, Glenn R. Taylor of Farmerville, LA, Paul R. 
Taylor of Mountain Home, TX; his grandchildren, Kelly Taylor Geist and her 
husband, Jared, of Shreveport, LA, Jeff G. Taylor and his wife, Amanda Estep 
Taylor of Allen, TX, as well as four great grandchildren.
