Latrobe Bulletin Wed, Oct 11, 1882
Mr. Jessie Taylor, an old man of seventy-six years of age, was found dead
yesterday at noon, sitting upright against a straw stack, a short distance from
the residence of Mr. John Beer, east of town, where the old gentleman has made
his home for about six years. Uncle Jessie, as they call him, went out about
half-past six o'clock in the morning, as was his custom, to cut some corn with
which to feed the pigs. He being in the habit of going off to town sometimes
without saying anything about it, they thought nothing of his prolonged absence
until about dinner time, when some of the family began to inquire as to his
whereabouts, and finding his coat and cane in their usual place, they
immediately instituted search with the foregoing result. The old gentlemen has
three grown up and married children, one son and two daughters, and had returned
but a few days since from a visit to his daughters at Shafton, where the body of
the father was taken today for burial. Coroner Clingan was notified but did not
hold an inquest. The canoe of death is supposed to be from paralysis, he having
had a stroke some years ago.
