Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 28 Apr 1899, p. 3, c. 3 
Jay E. Taylor, a member of Co. B, Oregon volunteers, died in Manila, on the 20 
inst., of peritonitis. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Taylor and 
was born at Bly, Oregon, March 31, 1880. Jay joined the company which left 
Ashland about a year ago. While in camp at San Francisco he was taken sick and 
was given a furlough after which he was ordered discharged. But as he was 
anxious to go to the Philippines, he left here in November for San Francisco, 
arriving there just in time to leave on the transport with the Oregon recruits 
for the islands. He was sick on the voyage and an operation for appendicitis 
was performed on him. It was thought that he had recovered from this, having 
reported for duty. Letters stated that he was in the best of health.  The 
young man was well known in Ashland, having been raised there, and the sad 
news of his death was a shock to not only the family but the entire community.
