Portland Observer – Tuesday, 5 November 1918

Vincent Taylor, a resident of Portland for a half century or more, died at his 
home in this village early Friday morning, of cancer of the stomach.  He had 
been ill several months, but was on Kent Street Tuesday and Wednesday, 
greeting his friends. Soon after he returned to his home Wednesday his 
condition became much worse and for several hours before his death he was 
unconscious.  Funeral services were held at the house, Monday afternoon, and 
were private.  Rev. John H. Stewart, of Sparta, officiated.

Mr. Taylor was born at Seneca, N. Y. Dec. 22, 1839.  His wife, who died 10 
months ago, was Mrs. Sarah Earl (nee Jolly) and they were married 53 years 
ago.  They first lived in Lyons and then moved to the farm east of Portland 
where they resided until they moved to the village three years ago.  They had 
no children of their own, but Otto Taylor, of the Ionia post office force and 
Archie Green a well-known farmer were brought up by the Taylors and regarded 
as their own.  Since the death of Mrs. Taylor a niece, Mrs. H. S. Hill, has 
looked after the household affairs and enabled Mr. Taylor to keep up the 
home.  A step-sister, Mrs. Susan Daily, lives at Ovid, and came to attend the 
funeral.

Mr. Taylor was a democrat but cared little for polities.  His popularity once 
secured for him election as supervisor, but he cared so little for office that 
he did not fill out his term.  He enlisted in the Third Michigan Inf. in the 
days of the Civil War.
