Miss Olivia Tayloe Dead

 

 Miss Olivia Tayloe died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Dr. H. V. Dunston, here
early Tuesday morning of pneumonia. She had been sick but a short while. She was
one of our oldest and most competent school teachers and had been teaching at
Powellsville up to two weeks before she died.  She came down to Windsor, to her
sister’s home where she could be under medical treatment. But her age could not
combat this dangerous disease. She was seventy odd years old, and although
active for one so old her physical strength gave way. It removes another relic
of that period before the war when prosperity was bounding and old time
hospitality permeated old Bertie. 

 

Miss Tayloe was the daughter of the late Sheriff Robert Tayloe; sister to
Mesdames Dr. H. V. Dunstan, W. E. Copeland and Messrs Charles Richard and Rhodes
Tayloe of our town.

Her remains were carried to the old homestead about eleven miles from Windsor.
And there interred by loving hands---and amid a concourse of friends and
relatives.
