It is seldom given to any man to attain the heights of true citizenship as was given the late Henry Clay Taylor who, as lawyer, public man and phil- anthropist, left a record which easily distinguished him and won for him the title of "foremost citizen." He was born in Franklin county, and was the son of pioneers of tin- county, his paternal grandfather having, in 1801, made the first settlement along Big Walnut creek in Truro township, which township he named in honor of his birthplace, Truro. Nova Scotia. His father, the late David Taylor, was born in Truro, Nova Scotia, July 24, 1801, and was but a child when the family came to Franklin county. He married Mar- garet Livingston, who was born in this county November 2, 1809, and both lived all their lives in this community, the father dying July 29, 1889, the mother February 12, 1895. Henry C. Taylor was born May 1.5, 1841, in the house built by his father and known as "West Crest," which stood just east of the city in Truro township, and he spent all of his long, useful life here. He was graduated from Miami University with the class of '65, A. B. degree and that University gave him the Hon. A. M. degree in 1867. Leaving Miami he read law in the office of Henry C. Noble, then entered Harvard Law School where he was graduated with the class of '67, B. L. degree, and was admitted to the bar and began practice in Columbus in 1867. H' succ�ss and progress soon placed him in the front ranks of the local bar and for the next half century he held recognition as one of the leading attorneys practicing in the State and Federal courts in central Ohio. 306 HISTORY OF COLUMBUS, OHIO In 1862 Mr. Taylor volunteered for service as a soldier in the Civil War and as a mem- ber of Company A, Eighty-sixth Regiment, Ohio Volunteers Infantry, rendered faithful sup- port to his country in the time of peril. In 1890 he was made president of the Franklin County Bar Association, was a member of the City Council in 1887 and 1888, was elected to the Ohio General Assembly in 1886-'88, and was Judge Advocate General of Ohio on the staff of Governor Nash in 1900-1901. He was a candidate for Mayor of the city on the Republican ticket. Mr. Taylor was for mam- years actively identified with a number of public organizations, charitable and philanthropic, and gave generously of his time, advice and means to all worthy movements. He served as vice president of the Humane Society for about 11 years and as its president for two years, he was vice president of the Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in 1907, president of Green Lawn Cemetery Association, trustee of the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, was one of the founders and for many years a trustee of the Broad Street Presby- terian Church, was a member of McCoy Post, G. A. R., president of The Harvard Club of Central Ohio in 1908, was a charter member of the Columbus Club and was vice presi- dent of the Columbus Country Club Company from 1901 until his death. On June 9, 1S97, Mr. Taylor was united in marriage with Miss Rebecca W. McKee, daughter of James M. and Indiana (Lodge) McKee, the father a native of Ireland and the mother of Indiana. Both were early residents of Columbus. To this marriage one son was born, Livingston Lodge Taylor, born May 10, 1898, in the old family home at No. 1100 East Broad street. He attended the Columbus public schools, Columbus Academy, St. George's Preparatory School of Rhode Island and is now (1918) a Sophomore at Princeton University. The death of Mr. Taylor, March 27, 1917, was universally mourned by all who knew him and was the occasion of many tributes to his worth as a citizen and man. The Columbus Evening Dispatch of March 28, 1917, said editorially : "Columbus had no better citizen than the late Henry C. Taylor. The son of one of the sturdy pioneers of this county, he was himself a man of heroic mold, a soldier in the Civil War, a lawyer of high ideals and a representative of the philanthropic spirit of the city. After an active and useful service of country, State and county he has gone, leaving a record of fine achievement and the memory of a gracious, sympathetic and helpful per- sonality." The Ohio State Journal, March 29, 1917, said editorially: "Another noble citizen gone. . . . Death has removed from our midst another of our noble citizens, Henry C. Taylor, a gentleman of clean and tranquil life and one who was closely identified with the traditions of Columbus. His ancestry was of pioneer days, which came here when the Indians left and founded a home that has continued ever since. Henry C. Taylor was a fine personality, a man of the truest ideals and of high companion- able qualities." The Franklin County Bar Association, The Columbus Humane Society, and other organ- izations of which Mr. Taylor was a member passed resolutions on his death.
