General Notes: Husband - Edward Taylor
He attended public schools during his youth, and aided in the work of the farm until he entered the State Normal School at Millersville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he pursued advanced courses of study. At his father's death he and his brother James purchased the interests of the other heirs in the estate, and from that time until the death of Edward, the brothers owned and cultivated the home farm, containing about two hundred and fifty acres. The brothers brought the soil to a high state of productiveness and prospered in all their undertakings. James Taylor survived his brother and managed the property, of which he was a part owner. The homestead built by Isaac Taylor was remodeled and enlarged, modern features added, making it a most desirable country residence. Edward Taylor was a member of the East McKeesport Presbyterian Church, as was his widow, and from the date of its erection until his death was its treasurer. In political faith he was a Republican, but his great interest was his family and farm, taking little active part in public affairs.
