HENRY TAYMAN

  Henry Tayman, a brief mention of whose death and funeral was made in The 
Republican of Sept. 4th, was born in Berlin, Pa., Jan. 17, 1854.  He died in 
Akron, O., Sept. 2, 1930, aged 76 years, 7 months and 15 days.  He was a son of 
August and Charlotte (Muhlenberg) Tayman.  On April 6, 1878, he was married to 
Delilah Brown of Greenville Township, who survives.  After their marriage they 
located on a farm in Alleghany Township, this county, later moving from there to 
what is now known as the Lottig farm in Larimer Township, and from there to 
Meyersdale about thirty years ago.
  Mr. Tayman was an expert carpenter and gave up farming to work at the 
carpenter trade.  In 1910 he moved to Akron, Ohio, on account of carpenter work 
being more plentiful there, and worked in building construction for the 
Firestone Company until he retired several years ago.
  Mr. Tayman's retirement was hastened by a lame leg and dropsy.  He was an 
honest, industrious, sociable man who loved his friends and old associations.  
After locating in Akron, he paid frequent visits to his native county and was 
always very happy to visit with his old friends.  He made his last visit to his 
native heath only a few months ago, when he called at The Republican office to 
renew his subscription to the old home paper of which he had been a constant 
reader since its first issue thirty years ago.
  Although afflicted with dropsy the last few years, he was able to be up and 
around until the day before his death.  On Labor Day, Sept. 1st, he sat in his 
porch swing in the evening several hours before retiring.  The next morning he 
complained of not feeling well and remained in bed, and at 11:20 a.m. expired.
  In accordance with his wishes, his body was brought to Meyersdale for burial.  
Funeral services were held in Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church at 4 o'clock 
p.m., September 4th, Rev. S. D. Sigler of Salisbury officiating, instead of Rev. 
J. Luther Frantz, the pastor, who was absent on vacation.  The pall-bearers were 
six nephews, Harry Tayman, of Hyndman; Clarence Tayman, of Rockwood; Walter 
Tayman, of Akron, O.; George Lane, of Berlin; Bruce Lane, of Glencoe, and James 
Walters, of Somerset.  Undertaker J. L. Tressler had charge of the burial 
arrangements.  Interment was made in Union Cemetery.
  Besides his wife, Mr. Tayman is survived by five sons and three daughters, 
namely: Charles W. Tayman, Chicago; Harvey J., Callery, Pa.; Robert C., Tiffin, 
O.; Steward R., and Homer B., Akron, O.; Mrs. Irvin E. Fair, Mrs. W. E. Humphrey 
and Mrs. George Romier, Akron, O.  He also left ten grandchildren.
