He practiced there two years, then returned to Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, where he was admitted to the bar in 1883 and began to practice, specializing in the law of real estate, in which he acquired a high reputation. Mr. Taylor was well known beyond the confines of his profession and was the author of a volume of allegorical poems, published in 1891, under the title of "Man Immortal."
