Notes
a. Continued:   D. E. TAYLOR
 D. E. Taylor was born at Toll Gate, West Virginia, April 4, 1841. Died January 26, 1919. He was married to Miss Ella Lesnett March 17, 1871, at
 Loda, Illinois. He united with the Methodist Episcopal church in 1870 and remained a consistent member to the end. Mr. Taylor came to Texas in 1880 locating in Honey Grove, where he has lived ever since. In his early life he entered the store of his uncle in West Virginia, where he remained until he entered the Union army as an officer, serving from 1861 to the end of the war. It was in his uncle's store where he laid the foundation of his commercial life. Afterward he moved to Boswell, Ind., and engaged in merchandising in which he continued until his removal to Texas in 1880. When first coming to Honey Grove he engaged in the lumber and grain business for a few years, when he became interested in the banking business, in which he continued until his death.
 In all of his commercial pursuits he was eminently successful. One of his especial delights was to help the struggling young business man, and many of
 our now successful men could tell the story of the assistance entended to him by D. E. Taylor.
 As a temperance man and prohibitionist, he was an untiring worker; when money was needed to further the temperance cause, he was always ready to
 contribute, in which he was ever quiet and unostentatious. In all his charity work he was free from display, preferring to be unknown.
 He is survived by his sorrowing wife, four children and five grandchildren, viz: Mrs. Edna Evans of Little Rock, Ark.;Tom G. Taylor of Oklahoma City, Okla.;
 Delmar Taylor, of Honey Grove, Texas, and Mrs. Lillian Webb, of Ladonia, Texas. Also one brother, Silas G. Taylor of Toll Gate, West Virginia. Mr. Taylor was known as being much attached to home and its society and surroundings, in which he found his chief delight. Those who knew him best, loved him most. The writer, who knew him intimately for fifty years, sorrows in his loss. To the bereaved family he extends his sincere sympathy.
 Funeral was conducted by Rev. W. D. Montcastle, an old friend, assisted by Rev. Rex B. Wilkes. L. C. Page
