"WILLIAM O.

At the early age of eleven, HOMER R. TAYLOR was taken to Delaware County by his parents; there he was married, and engaged in farming until May, 1842, when he brought his wife and family to this Township, where he entered 200 acres of land, which he improved and resided upon until his death March 2, 1847. He was a member of the Baptist Church. WILLIAM O. TAYLOR, at the age of twenty-three, began life for himself on a piece of land his father had given him. This he cultivated one year, and then went to Vincennes and drove stage for two years; then returned to this county and resumed farming in Tippecanoe Township. In 1857, he sold out and bought a place in this township, and now owns 128 acres of well-improved land. MR. TAYLOR was married in December, 1849, to CALISTA TIBBITS, a native of Michigan. She died in December, 1850, a member of the Methodist Episcopal. January 10, 1853, he was married to MISS CATHERINE HEWETT, a native of Indiana, and a member of the United Brethren Church.

TAYLOR enlisted in Company G, One Hundred and Fifty-first Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and received his discharge in June of the same year at Tullahoma, Tennessee. In politics, he is a Republican."
