CHARLES TAYMAN

  Col. Charles Tayman, 80, United States Army retired, died last Friday at his 
home in Healdsburg, California, after an illness of several months.  His body 
was shipped east for interment at Lavansville, his native town.
  Col. Tayman was a nephew of the late George Tayman, builder and proprietor of 
the Somerset House, for many years Somerset's largest and most popular hotel.  
He obtained an appointment as a cadet in West Point Military Academy in the 
latter 70's, when about 16 years of age.  He was graduated in due time and 
remained in the U.S. Army until he reached the retirement age.  He served with 
distinction in the Spanish-American War, the World War of 1917-18 and in many 
other capacities.
