TAYLOR, STUBBLEFIELD, REYNOLDS



John A. TAYLOR, merchant and farmer, and a son of John A. and Elizabeth

(STUBBLEFIELD) TAYLOR, was born in Lincoln County in 1849.  The father was

also a native of Lincoln County, born about 1810.  He was married about

1828, and became the father of eleven children, seven of whom are living.

He was a tiller of the soil, and at the time of his death which occurred

April, 1850, owned about 225 acres of good land.  The mother was born in

Lincoln County about the same time as her husband, and died March, 1873.

Our subject was reared by a mother's tender care, his father having died

with he was but an infant.  He received his education in the district

schools, and December 8, 1870, was married to Mary E. REYNOLDS, daughter of

John and Malinda REYNOLDS, by whom he had seven children, four of whom are

living, viz.:  Ella, Alda O., John A. and C. Wilson.  At the time of his

marriage our subject was engaged in the grocery business at Kelso, where he

continues to reside.  In 1872 he purchased a stock of general merchandise,

and is now carrying a stock to the value of about $800.  He now owns real

estate in the village, besides a valuable farm of 150 acres in the

Twenty-third District.  Mr. TAYLOR is at present depot agent at Kelso.  He

is a member of the I.O.O.F. and of the K. of H., and he and Mrs. TAYLOR are

members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.  Mrs. TAYLOR was born in

Franklin County, in 1846, and her parents were also natives of the same

county.
