TAYLOR, SIMMONS, McLAUGHLIN



Jarred A TAYLOR, farmer, and a son of James H.* and Martha (SIMMONS)

TAYLOR, was born in Lincoln County in 1847, and is one of a family of six

children, four of whom are living.  He received a liberal education in the

common schools, and taught during the years 1869 and 1870.  He afterward

engaged in farming, and in March, 1871, united his fortunes with those of

Mollie McLAUGHLIN, daughter of William H. and Margaret K. McLAUGHLIN.  The

result of our subject's marriage was the birth of eight children:  Bernice,

Beulah, William H., James M., Guy F., Andrew E., Maggie E. and Horace.  Mr.

TAYLOR began farming at first as a tenant, but in 1874 purchased land in

Smithland and began clerking in a mercantile establishment at that place.

In 1883 he, in company with his brother, entered the mercantile business on

their own responsibility in the same place.  In 1884 he disconnected

himself with the firm, and removed to where he now resides, one mile north

of the village, on a farm of 140 acres.  Mrs. TAYLOR was born in Lincoln

County in 1842, and she, as well as her husband, are members of the

Christian Church.  Mr. TAYLOR is a Democrat, and cast his first vote for

Horatio Seymour.  He is also a member of the Masonic fraternity.
