George William Taylor
I have an old studio photograph of George W. TAYLOR which was taken at the Lind Studio in Marinette, WI. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with George appearing to be in his 40's or 50's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding George and his family:
George William TAYLOR was b. 31 Mar 1855 in Wenham, MA to parents Jeremiah D. TAYLOR (1817-1898) and Elizabeth PRIDE (1826-1904). George was one of 7 children born to this couple including Mary Cleveland or Cleaveland; Matilda; Annie T.; Oliver Alden; George William; Martha Anna; and John A. TAYLOR, all born between 1845 and 1858.
George’s father was married previously and had 10 other children including, William; Evan; Nancy; Elizabeth; Jane; Jane; Wiley C. “Coot”; Jack; Peter; Amos Dennis; Pane; and Abigail Minerva TAYLOR.
George married Ella Francis CASE (1864-1932) on 16 Mar 1882 in Cook County, IL and they had two children including George Irving TAYLOR (1884-1885) and John Case TAYLOR (1886-1921). George died 27 Jan 1931 in Burlington, Ontario, Canada and is buried in the Graceland Cemetery in Chicago, IL.
I’d like to get this photograph to George’s family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Theoda Reliance Witter Taylor
I have an old studio photograph identified as Mrs. Hiram TLAYOR which was taken at the Crocker Studio in Perry, NY sometime in the 1880's. She appears to be in her 70's at the time the photograph was taken. I believe that this is a photograph of Theoda Reliance WITTER TAYLOR who was married to Hiram TAYLOR.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Theoda and her family:
Theoda Reliance WITTER was born 1 Apr 1819 in Scipio, NY to parents Ebenezer WITTER III (1788-1853) and Lovisa or Louisa or Lovina REED (1794-1877) who were married 31 Jan 1813. Theoda was one of 10 children born to this couple including Julia Maria or Marie; Alvin Reed; Ebenezer IV; Theoda Reliance; Lovisa Mary Jane; Lucinda Reed; Zerviah or Zervia or Serviah or Surviah Ursula; Martha; Florilla S.; Frederick Spaulding; and Harriet “Hattie” Amanda WITTER, all born between 1813 and 1843.
Theoda married Hiram TAYLOR (1823-1902 son of Job TAYLOR (1793-1878) and Amelia WALDO (1797-1875)) on 4 Jan 1846 in Perry, NY, and they had three children including Alfred; Cora Jane; and Hattie Amanda TAYLOR, all born between 1848 and 1862. Theoda previously married Cary Bell REED (1807-1843) in Scipio, NY in 1840 and they had a son, Alva D. REED (b. 1841).
Theoda died in 1905 in La Grange or Covington, NY and is buried in La Grange, NY.
I am hoping to get the photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley

By Steve THE SON OF MY UNCLES ALTONS BEST FRIEND:
Did I know him? Yes. Though I was not born untill 1958, my father William Alves lived in the trenches with him. He spoke often of Red, as he was called. He would tell of some of the battles they went through. He would tell of the day that Red went down to a little stream to fill the canteens to get water to clean the tent stove and a sniper shot him. How he went to the tent where the doctors tried despertly to save his life after being hit by sniper fire. How my dad and some others of his unit went out to find the sniper and to take him out just after Red died on the operation table. What was unique about this endever was that the men would take compass readings of the rifle fire as the sniper would fire his weapon. They then triangulated his position and my dad call up a tank on his radio and gave him the cordiance to fire a shell and take out the sniper. As a tribute to a fallen friend he kept the empty shell casing that was fired to take out the sniper that killed his best friend. My dad proudly displayed this shell in his home untill his own passing in Octobe of 2000. I cannot tell you the countless times I heard him tell people the story of the shell when they would see it in our house. My dad never forgot about Red or any of the other men in his unit. He kept them alive in his memory and as a result, in a way, I knew them to.
Did I know him? Yes. Though I was not born untill 1958, my father William Alves lived in the trenches with him. He spoke often of Red, as he was called. He would tell of some of the battles they went through. He would tell of the day that Red went down to a little stream to fill the canteens to get water to clean the tent stove and a sniper shot him.

In the latter part of February, 1864, John Taylor and his wife, Mrgaret Reed Taylor learned of a wagon train scheduled to leave in the spring from a point on the Concho River, destination California. He had to travel from Comanche County, Texas to Williamson County, 120 miles, to find the equipment for making the trip. John was one of many deserters from the Southern army, so everything had to be done in secret. They started their journey on April 15th. In the evening of October, 12, 1864, the families of John Taylor, John Ward, and Elliot Hicks arrived at Carrizo Creek within the boundaries of what is now known as Anza-Borrego State Park situated in the southern part of California not so very far from the Mexician Border. Later John and Margaret settled permanently in San Bernardino, County.John Taylor was my Great grandfather, I am fortunate to have a copy of his diary which discribes this six month journey to California.

I was born and raised on an island in NE Florida where there are lots of fish tales. This one actually happened in the 1950's.
My father and mother had been seineing off Fernandina Beach's south end.Daddy went for a swim while we stayed on
shore. All of a sudden daddy started yelling,"Bring the net, bring the net", I'm riding a fish! ...Riding a fish? ...It was plain that he was doing something and having a time holding it...we got the net out to him and lo and behold he was " riding a fish", just as one would ride a horse.....a big fish.Daddy had his long legs wrapped around the fish. I remember laughing so hard later that day about what I had witnessed(and stii do)
We weighed the fish when we got it home and it weighed 52 lbs! Needless to say we had some good eating! I'll never forget daddy's fish.....and yes, I do have a photo!

My dad, Ernest S Taylor( d.1979,)had a hobby of breaking codes for treasure hunters,He would listen and enjoyed the stories and legends on the island where I was bornin NE Florida. Here's one ol' Mr. Jones told.
"The Snake Cried"
Johnny was behind that morning as he grabbed his fishing gear, a quart of moonshine, and hauled buggy for Crandel. When he got there, he had everything but the bait.
He looked around for something to use when he saw a small snake with a frog in its mouth. Johnny reached down and snatched it up and was fastening it on his hook when he noticed the snake was crying....brokenhearted, tears running down its face. Johnny reached for his bottle and poured a few drops on the snakes nose. The little snake licked his lips a couple of times, smacked his mouth and took off.
Johnny caught a nice bass with the frog then looked around and there was the snake with another frog. Johnny gently took the frog and watched as the snake raised its head and opened his mouth wide.
Both were pretty well loaded when the sun went down.
