     Kingman Journal, 26 November 1943, page 1
     Mrs. Chas. Taylor Dies Sunday Night
     Pioneer Mother Passes Away In Wichita 87 Years of Age; Funeral Today
     Mrs. Mary C. Taylor, 87, widow of the late Charles F. Taylor and a resident of Kingman county since 1879, died in Wichita Sunday night, November 21. She had been in poor health for the past four or five years.
     Funeral services will be held in the Presbyterian church at Waterloo at 10:30 this (Friday) morning, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Leonard. Burial will be in the Waterloo cemetery. The Livingston mortuary is in charge.
     Mrs. Taylor was born in Chariton county, Mo., September 3, 1856. She grew to womanhood there and was married to Charles F. Taylor at Keytesville, Mo., March 7, 1876. Three years later they came to Kingman county and pre-empted a claim in Dale township and on which they lived the rest of their lives, although Mrs. Taylor had spent much of her time in Wichita the past year. She was the last of the original settlers in that township and still owned the farm on which she had lived continuously for sixty-four years. Mr. Taylor died May 12, 1940, at the age of 87 years.
     Mr. and Mrs. Taylor came to Kingman county with practically all their worldly possessions in a covered wagon. When it was necessary for her husband to be away from home, hauling buffalo bones to Wichita to get a little cash, Mrs. Taylor, only little more than a girl, stayed at home alone with her babies like the true pioneer mother she was.
     They took a raw piece of prairie and by hard work, thrift and good management, made it into a home for themselves and their children and reared a family of which any mother might be proud. In the formative period of that community, Mrs. Taylor was looked on as one of the influences for good in the community. Both she and Mr. Taylor were charter members of the Waterloo Presbyterian church and in which she took an active part so long as her health permitted. She was a teacher of the ladies' Bible class for many years.
     Surviving are four daughters; Mrs. Blanche Endicott of Waterloo, Mrs. Nell Kinser of Hennessey, Okla., Mrs. Susie Wills of Norwich and Mrs. Lizzie Dickerson, of Wichita; and three sons, Dick at home, Emmett of Ontario, Calif., and Walter of Woodward, Okla. One daughter, Ruth, died at four years of age.6,3
