Funeral services for Mrs. Frank (Emma Augusta) Taylor, Sr., will be held
Thursday, December 28, at the Evenson Funeral Home.  A well-known resident of
Ellensburg for more than 60 years, she died Sunday, December 24 [1967], at
the Kittitas Valley Memorial Hospital.

Born in West Bloomfield, Wisconsin, she was the daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Augusta Abraham.  At the age of 6 months, her parents moved to Orange,
California, where she was reared.  She attended schools in Orange and Santa
Rosa.  She moved with the family to a ranch in the Teanaway valley just
before the turn of the century, and to Ellensburg in 1900.

She was married to Frank Taylor, Sr., son of valley pioneers William and Mary
Taylor, in Ellensburg on November 29, 1905.  Except for seven years residence
in California, she had made her home in Ellensburg until her death.  Her
husband died in Santa Ana in 1943.

During her younger years, Mrs. Taylor was active in Presbyterian Church
circles and in the Red Cross, Royal Neighbors and Mothers Club activities.

She is survived by two daughters; Miss Lois A Taylor, with whom she made her
home at 606 1/2 North Pine, and Mrs. James J. Kelly; two sons, Frank Taylor,
Jr., and Bill M. Taylor.  All reside in Ellensburg.  She is also survived by
five grandchildren and two great grandchildren.  One daughter, Bernice M.
Shelton, preceded her in death.

Funeral services will be conducted Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
Evenson Funeral Home with the Rev. Gilbert Splett, officiated.  Burial will
follow in the IOOF Cemetery.
