DEATH OF MRS. W. G. TAYLOR.

Passed Away at Zanesville, Ohio, Tuesday, Jan. 15.

The following obituary notice is from the Zanesville, Ohio, Times-Recorder. Its reading will bring sorrow to many friends in this county, who knew the deceased as a child and until her removal from Jacksonville, at the age of 16, to Cincinnati, with her mother and other members of the family, after the death of her father. She will be remembered as spending several weeks here in the summer of 1899, with her sisters, Mrs. W. P. Buckley and Mrs. W. E. Fox. The Times-Recorder pays the following beautiful tribute to her memory:

Elizabeth Olivette Taylor, beloved wife of William G. Taylor, died at the family residence, No. 358 Putnam avenue, shortly after 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, after an illness of less than two days.

She was taken violently ill Sunday evening with neuralgia in the region of the stomach and lungs. Despite all that medical skill and anxious, loving hands could do the illness increased, affecting the heart and resulting in death Tuesday morning.

This supremely sad death has cast a deep gloom over friends and acquaintances who knew and loved the deceased for her many noble qualities. Her daily life was marked by a cheerful disposition and a thoughtfulness for others that endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. She was most happy when ministering to the sick and afflicted and no one within her knowledge was ever neglected.

The erstwhile sweet home, made so bright and happy by the daily sunshine of her life, is now filled with grief inexpressible and sorrow immeasurable. The cheerful voice, so quick to commend and so slow to condemn, is stilled forever.

Her sudden summons just when life had in store every promise of prolonged happiness and usefulness, is one of the inscrutable manifestations of Providence and the afflicted family and the sorrowing friends can only say with meekness and humility, "Thy Will be Done."

Elizabeth Olivette Leary was born near New Hampton, Iowa, June 24,1870. She was married to William C. Taylor June 5, 1889, in the city of Cincinnati, and has ever since lived in Zanesville. She is survived in her own immediate family by her husband, a son, Herbert, aged 11, and an infant daughter, which will never fully realize the loss it has sustained. It will be remembered that Mr. Taylor was terribly injured in November in the wreck at Ellis, from which he is still suffering, and it is thought that the shock sustained by Mrs. Taylor at that time and the anxiety for and constant care of her husband for weeks afterward weakened her system and caused her to succumb more readily to the fatal malady. She also leaves two brothers and three sisters, T. J. Leary, of Mapleton, Minn., and Daniel Leary, Mrs. John Lyons, Mrs. W. P. Buckley and Mrs. W. E. Fox, all of New Hampton, Iowa.

Mr. Thomas Leary of Mapleton, Minn., and Mrs. W. P. Buckley, of New Hampton, Iowa, brother and sister of Mrs. W. G. Taylor, arrived yesterday to attend the funeral. Many other relatives have also, arrived including Mr. and Mrs. Wright, of Columbus, and Mr. Carhart, of Roscoe.

The funeral will take place from St. Thomas Catholic church at 9.30 o'clock this morning, the funeral party leaving the residence on Putnam avenue at 9 o'clock. The funeral sermon will be preached by Rev. Father Kearney, head of the Dominican order. Besides the regular church choir there will be special music by a quartet consisting of Misses Shanley and Larimer and Messrs. Brelsford and Jones. Interment will be made in Woodlawn. Hundreds of her friends called at the residence yesterday and last evening to view the remains, which were encased in the casket and surrounded with a wealth of floral offerings. The features were remarkably life-like and the deceased had the appearance of having fallen into a peaceful slumber.
