Elizabeth (Betsey) "Chase" Taylor Toledo Chronicle "Butlerville Item” During the past week, two of the early pioneers
have passed from earth. Gone to that bourne from
whence no traveler returns, Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor III
wife of William Taylor, one ot the pioneers of this
part of the country. Mrs. Taylor has been poorly for
several weeks, but at times was able to sit up for a short time,
and hopes were entertained of her recovery until within a few days past when she was
taken worse. Her disease being complicated seemed to
baffle all human skills. About 2 o'clock on Sunday morning death released her of her suffering. She was
conscious to the last. She was about 56 years old and leaves a large family of children all of whom are grown
but one, and a large circle of friends who mourn her departure. The funeral was held at the schoolhouse on
Monday at 2 o'clock P.M. and was attended by a large concourse of people. Rev. S. N. Howard of the M.E. church
of Montour officiated. He gave a very interesting discourse From Matthew XXIV:44.
