Note 1
Obituary-Miss Mary Maloney Taylor was born June 17, 1840 and departed this life July 30, 1908, being 68 years, 1 month and 13 days of age. The family group numbered eleven, six brothers and five sisters. There are now two brothers and two sisters living. Miss Taylor was born in Vermillion county, spent a good part of her life in the county, though she lived several years in Eaton, O.. There she nursed her stepmother through her last sickness, her own mother dying when Mary was but a babe four months old. She tenderly cared for her father and nursed him through his last sickness; he died in Dana, Indiana. Mary was a help and comfort to many in their sickness. She tenderly cared for Mrs. Emily White in her last days on earth.
Miss Mary was for years identified with the W.R.C. of Eaton, O.. and will always be remembered for her labor of love and charity.
She was very much attached to her nephew, Rev. Chas. Taylor, an old veteran, and present with us today.
Miss Mary was in her early life identified with the Baptist church, but for the last fifteen years has been a member of the Presbyterian church. She had lived alone for almost thirteen years, and passed away at home.
She was greatly afflicted with nervous trouble and suffered greatly during the last two years. Her death was very peaceful, her faith triumphant.
As she in her life ministered to others, so in return kind hands ministered to her wants.
Her funeral was held in the Presbyterian church; her former pastor, Rev. S.W. Patterson, preaching the sermon from the 42nd Psalm: "Why thou in God; for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
