Taylor, Frank A. (page 267), who is an active factor in the business world
of Plainview, proprietor of a first-class barber shop, handsomely
equipped, was born in Whiteside County, Ill., November 17, 1870, son of
William Chauncy and Jenette Taylor. The parents were natives of New York
state, and were there married. They removed west to Illinois about 1862,
locating on a farm, where they resided many years, the farther, William C.
Taylor, dying at Algonquin, Ill. Frank A. Taylor was educated in Illinois,
attending the district and common schools during the winters; his summers,
from the time he was old enough, being occupied in working on the home
farm. At the age of 18 he went to Iowa, where he worked for a while in saw
mills, and at Lyons, that state, he learned the barber's trade. About 1897
he came to Minnesota, locating at Elba, Winona County, where he spent nine
years. In 1906 he came to Plainview, purchased a barber's whop, which he
has since enlarged and thoroughly equipped in modern style, and which he
is now conducting, enjoying a large patronage. He has taken an active
interest in public affairs, and during the recent war served on different
committees, also obtaining labor for farmers, and whatever he could to
help the cause of his country. He belongs to the fraternal orders of Odd
Fellows and Elks and enjoys a wide social popularity. Mr. Taylor was
married June 26, 1907, at St. Charles, Minn., to Kate Teahen, daughter of
Timothy and Jane Teahen, her parents being natives of Ireland, who took a
farm at an early date in Olmsted County, Minn. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have
three children: William, born in 1908; Francis, in 1909, and John in 1911,
who are attending school in Plainview.
