HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ARTICLE ON BENJAMIN PERRY TAGGART

To the early pioneers of Branch County too much honor cannot be awarded.  To 
this class belongs the gentleman whose name heads this sketch, and who was born 
in Bronson Township, Aug. 18, 1843.  He is now engaged in general farming on 
section 18, in his native township.

Benjamin P. Taggart is the son of David and Sarah Taggart, natives of New 
Hampshire and Mass., respectively, and of English origin.  Our subject was 
united in marriage, March 25, 1879, with Miss Ella Owen, of Matteson Township.  
She was born in Lake County, in the Buckeye State, Sept. 26, 1857, and is the 
daughter of Hiram and Mary Owen, natives of Ohio and Mass., respectively.  When 
advanced in life they removed to Michigan, and located in Matteson Township, 
this county, where the mother died about one year after their settlement.  The 
father then returned to his native state, but subsequently came to Michigan, 
where he spent the remainder of his life, dying in 1878.  The union of Mr. and 
Mrs. Taggart has been blessed by the birth of four children -- Sarah Bernice, 
Ella Bertha, Burton P. and Frances Maude.
