Died - At his home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Taylor, on Monday morning, August 11, 1890, Richard Taylor, of inflammation of the bowels, in the 18th year of his age. He had been complaining but a short time, and his death was a sad surprise to all our citizens as he was a bright, manly boy. He was the oldest son and the absence of his ever cheerful presence casts a gloom in his happy home. On Tuesday the remains were consigned to the tomb in our beautiful cemetery, followed by a large concourse of mourning friends.
