**********************************************************************

E. A. Taylor, physician and surgeon, P. O. Concordia.  Was born in 
Hunterdon county, N. J., August 13, 1834.  When he was seven years of
age, his parents brought him to this state and county, and settled
near "Parine Church," about seven miles south of Lexington.  His early
education was obtained in the common schools of the county, under the
tutorship of his father.  In 1866, he entered N. Y. University, as a 
medical student, remaining there one term.  He afterwards entered St.
Louis Medical College, from which he graduated in 1872.  He then came
to this county and located at Aullville, where he practiced for two
years, at the end of which he went to Concordia, where he is now engaged
in the practice of his profession.  Previous to his graduation he prac-
ticed for seven or eight years in Henry and Benton counties.  In 1865,
he was married to Florence H. McKee, of Quincy, Illinois, a native of
Virginia, by whom he had seven children, five of whom are now living:
Ida B., Anna A., Ernest R., Robert M. and Grandin F.  In 1861, he 
enlisted in Company A, Col. Stieffel's regiment, just in time to part-
icipate in the battle of Lexington, in which he was captured and after-
wards paroled.  In 1862, he again enlisted in the 7th Missouri State
Militia, under Col. Phillips.  He acted as hospital steward, in which
capacity he was engaged until the close of the war.  Dr. Taylor is a 
finished scholar and a genial gentleman, eminently worthy of the liberal
patronage bestowed upon him.
