The Norfolk Virginian Pilot February 27, 1943

Annie Taylor, Cashier, Dies
Employee of Norfolk Newspapers Had Been on Job 50 years
 
Miss Annie Lyle Taylor, for nearly 50 years an employee of newspapers in 
Norfolk, died at 6:15 o’clock yesterday morning at a local hospital after an 
illness of several months.
It was in 1893 that Miss Taylor, than a young woman, was employed by the late 
Michael Glettenan publisher of the Norfolk Virginian. Her first job was to 
assist in the handling and mailing out of the souvenir books of the Columbian 
Exposition, as a circulation promotion.
By the time the Virginian and Pilot were consolidated in 1898, Miss Taylor was 
cashier, a position she retained under the merger. She was still in this 
position when the Virginian-Pilot and Ledger-Dispatch were consolidated under 
the ownership of Norfolk Newspapers, and was cashier of the corporation at the 
time of her death, although she had not been active for several months.
Of a mild temperament, Miss Taylor was known among her many friends as a person 
of innate kindness and generosity, as well as an efficient worker.
A native and lifelong resident of Norfolk, she was the daughter of the late 
Miles F. and Mrs. Josephine Edwards Taylor. She made her home at 1900 Granby 
Street, and was a member of Knox Presbyterian Church. She is survived by one 
brother, Allen H. Taylor, of New York, and a number of nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock in the 
chapel of H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments, 1501 Colonial Avenue, with the Rev. 
H.T. Squires, D.D., officiating. Interment in Elmwood Cemetery.
