Evansville Business Man Passes Away

Death of A. I. Taggart

The people of Evansville were surprised last Saturday to hear of the death
of A. I. Taggart. While it was generally known that his health had been
poor for some time no one thought the end was so near. He was in his
jewelry store at his accostomed work as late as the Monday preceding his
death. He had been in failing health for the past two years, following a
slight storke of paralysis, which he suffered about that time.

He was born in Cortland County, New York, March 7, 1844. When a mere child
he came with his parents to the state of Wisconsin. His home was in the
town of Union for a number of years, but for the last thirty years he has
been in the jewelry business and lived in Evansville. He was married March
6, 1873 to Miss Laura Tullar. He was a man fond of his home and there laid
his first interest. He was quietly unostentatious, making many friends by
his honest, upright dealing with all.

The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the home on Main street
and were conducted by Dr. Quincy Grabill.

Five of Mr. Taggart's brothers-in-law and one cousin acted as the pall
bearers.

Besides the wife, he leaves one sister, Mrs. A. E. Rowley of this city.

The interment was in Maple HIll cemetery.
